A story I want to share but am not always sure how to is what, where, when, why, and how I am in England for all but about 10 days of summer 2013. Well...
What, where, and when -- My summer in England. May 27 - August 15.
Why -- Family -- all of my family on my Mum's side live in England and it had been 3+ years since I had seen them last. I wanted to show them how I had changed, I wanted to see who they were today. Family was my main and most consistent draw.
Why -- Service 'work' -- For a scholarship program I am in I needed to choose an organization to do 280+ hrs of service (at a non-profit) over the summer. After doing my research, exchanging emails, and swimming thought pools of logistics I decided and ironed out all details. I am going to be living with the Embercombe community. Here is a link to their web site: http://www.embercombe.co.uk/
How -- through the same scholarship program I am given a summer stipend to support my service work (whether that goes towards rent, food, or transportation I choose. I chose the later).
And there -- like a sneeze -- you have the what, where, when, why, and how of my summer.
