Hi again!!! I'm seriously so in love with Montreal!! Maybe you don't feel the same excitement... But I'm just so in love with the trend and the culture and the buildings! In between another great game of basketball we went and found this adorable little Italian restaurant and sat outside which was so peaceful. We then walked around and my imagination just went crazy on what it would be like to live here and to go on bike rides and to plant a little garden and just be all artsy. In my mind living in this area seems picture perfect and so peaceful. I love moments like this because I feel so inspired and that nothing could bring me down when I get in this mood. I recommend whenever u visit somewhere new get away from the tourist area and find where the locals go, feel the real culture and spend a day in the life.

I'll see ya,
A.S. <333

Fadhili Trust

Image
This week we have been spending our time at this organization called Fadhili Trust. This is an amazing organization which helps local communities and people who are in tough situations. They help people through village savings and loan associations ( type of micro-finance). They do this to help people create business and increase income. Our first day with them we had an introduction of the organization and then we visited a small private school. The visit was super fun because they stopped all the classes to meet us. Everyone was so welcoming and we were given the honour to talk with the students in their classes which was really cool because they had so many good questions about Canada.  After the school visit we went and had 2 home visits of 2 of the  beneficiaries of  Fadhili. The stories of the people we have met have been very emotional. The one lady we met lives by herself because Fadhili is supporting her kids to go to boarding school which takes a burden off her ...

Off To The Airport

I cannot believe the trip is over... It went by so fast, yesterday literally feels like we just arrived in Kenya. But I guess time flies when you are having fun. Today is a very emotional day because I do not want to go home and have to say good by to Kenya :( Words cannot describe how much this trip has met to me it is by far the best experience of my life so far. I am so grateful to God to have been able to go on this trip and for my parents allowing me to go, it has been such an amazing time.  I am going home having learned so much and coming back with a new lens to look at life through.  I am going to miss all the people I met and all the memories I made, my mental scrapbook is very full of memories and my heart is filled with many new special relationships.  This trip has been my breath of fresh air after a very tough year. I struggled with a lot this year and everyday felt challenging so to come to Kenya and to feel so much positive energy from the culture and peopl...

Back At It

My goodness it has been awhile... I have not done a blog post since October... But my life has not been that exciting to write more blog posts lol. Anyways I am back and I hope to blog more! I want to strengthen my writing and express it on this blog.  I want to write about things going on in my life, adventures I go on, lists, future goals, advice and most importantly poetry. First I want to use this blog as a way to publish my poetry. Over the past few months I have been in a class called writers craft and it is given me the opportunity to write in many different styles and from this class I fell in love with poetry. Poetry is such beautiful way to express and to share how you feel. Poetry is an escape, a way to put words to feelings, a beautiful portrait of art. Poetry is a lifeline to me now and I cannot wait to show it here.  Although it will be nerve wracking to put my thoughts out in the open to others... art is art and it cannot be judged. Secondly: It's the s...
