Title: Kenya

Dear Jeffrey,

I just spoke with Sandy about the trip and I really can't thank you enough for giving me and Miasha this opportunity. Every single detail sounds absolutely amazing and I cannot wait to get over there. I honestly don't think I've ever been so excited for anything else in my life. I fell in love with Africa when I went with Peggy three years ago and knew I had to go back but I'm still kind of in shock that it is actually happening. Furthermore, the fact that Miasha and I get to work for the people that own and run these camps is pretty much the coolest thing I could ever imagine doing. I had no idea what to expect the first time I went and the people Peggy and I met were some of the kindest, most interesting and inspiring people I've ever had the privilege of talking to you. The effect that that trip had on me was mind altering and and I feel so lucky to now have the opportunity to really experience what else is out there. Then: is no way I could truly be able to express my excitement and gratitude and especially not in an e-mail but I just wanted to say thank you and that I know this trip is going to open my mind up to things I can't even anticipate and probably change my life forever. This is truly the most amazing gift and I just hope you realize how much it means to me. Miasha and I will be sure to take tons ofpictures and send you updates from every place we go.

Thank you so much,

Mattie
