Without Borders...

Abby and Sara have been best friends since they met in the dorms at Colorado State University in 2002. Each year since then, they have been on at least one trip together, with the last few years consisting of backpacking travels through Europe.

In 2010, they decided to put their desire to see the world towards a more constructive cause. Instead of taking an adventurous vacation, they chose to visit Tanzania and volunteer with Light in Africa for five weeks.

This winter, they are going back to Light in Africa to volunteer for another five weeks, and can't wait to see how much "their" kids have grown!

Fundraising has begun!

Hi Blog Followers!

Feels good to be back on the blog front, but even better to back blogging for our cause.

Two years ago, Sara and I did a "once-in-lifetime" thing. Volunteering at Light in Africa - to say the least - changed us both. So much so that we couldn't make this "thing" once. (This is a standing joke with us both, as we always tell ourselves - eh, might as well, we'll only do this once). And we are volunteering once again for our cause.

Two years ago, we also asked for your help, your support for our cause. I've said our cause now 3 times. In fact, its not really "our cause", is it? It's about the amazing people, the amazing community, the amazing children we met in Tanzania - you might think, their cause? Well, the truth is, once you do the "once-in-a-lifetime" thing, it becomes your cause - your passion - your life maybe.

So now, we again are asking for your support for our cause. Not our trip. Not our flights - none of that. We again are raising funds for the people who need it most in the big scheme of things. For those of you that made this your cause, too, or maybe would like to - we look forward to your support. Either on our FUNDLY page, where you will find more details about what we are raising money for or contact us personally.

More activities planned, so stay tuned!
