Going Beyond Borders 2009. Stories and reflections of a journey as an university student puts her education to use in serving the community and the world. Monday, May 25, 2009.

Becoming a compassionate nation doesn't only mean relationships with other nations, but also within their very own boundaries. You'll find her. Amazing woman, so fierce yet tender at the same time, raised 3 k...

Botswana Bound!: A post, this time from a not-so sunny Botswana
http://beyondbordersmatt.blogspot.com/2009/06/post-this-time-from-not-so-sunny.html
Thursday, June 11, 2009. A post, this time from a not-so sunny Botswana. I just thought it might be time for another update! Today was the first time I've seen the sun since Monday! We have had full days of clouds and rain since I’ve been here… it was the first time that the temperature didn’t reach 25 degrees! Needless to say, the weather has been really amazing since I’ve been here and I’m having a hard time appreciating the rain and cold. They love trying to teach me Setswana, so I think they will lik...

Botswana Bound!: January 2009
http://beyondbordersmatt.blogspot.com/2009_01_01_archive.html
Saturday, January 24, 2009. So it’s about time that I brief you all about Botswana, the country that I will be calling home for the summer. Botswana is in the south-central part of Africa, bordering South Africa, Zimbabwe, Namibia and Zambia. In size, Botswana is about double that of the state of Arizona. Despite the fact that most of the country is desert, Botswana has become one of the most popular places in Africa to travel, with many of the most exotic African animals making Botswana their home.

Thursday, June 25, 2009. It just gets better and better! Ahh – I CANNOT believe June is almost over! Life at Stepping Stones International is amazing and I probably couldn’t be happier. I met with Ruby, my friend at Someralang Tikologo, earlier this week to finalize the details for the environmental seminar I’ve arranged to come to SSI for the youth. We also worked out for the details for the Community Cleanup Event we’ve organized for July 11th. I’ve still got a. Needless to say, I am never bored here!

Botswana Bound!: Just a small note
http://beyondbordersmatt.blogspot.com/2009/06/just-small-note.html
Monday, June 22, 2009. Just a small note. Firstly, HAPPY FATHER’S DAY DAD! I’m really sorry I couldn't be at home to have a beer with you on this important day! Either way, hope the weather was good and you found time to enjoy it. I’ve been REALLY busy lately and haven’t found time to blog about what I’m doing, so here’s a brief list of some interesting things I’ve noticed in Botswana:. People show a lot of physical affection! I think I’ll pass. 1 “Dumela mma/rra” (Hello ma’am/sir). And how are you today?
