Hi there Guys,

Im Jo an 18yr old female from Christchurch, New Zealand.

Last year while studying Social Work, I got the sudden urge of wanting to travel.

But I didnt just want to fly to the other side of the world by my lone self and get lost :S

 

So my application for CA started there  I love children and love getting involved so thought hey why not?

 

Months of waiting past and I finished my studies and found a job and moved into a flat in town with two friends=life was good

 

However these recent earthquakes managed to totally destroy our flat and my work crumbled around me on Feb 22nd in the second large earthquake  I am really lucky to be alive. Such a scary sight, people running around bleeding and lifeless bodies left sprrawled out on the pavement. I dont mean to scare just to paint a picture of what life was like for me over the past 6/7months.

 

Then the E-mail came, I had been placed  and its as though a ray of light entered my life and I have been excited since. Im going to Camp Green Lane, CA. Which is a jewish camp. Im not religious myslef, but don't have a problem with it at all.

 

So now I am busy sorting out Visa interviews, flights, insurance and other things. I depart NZ on June 16th. So a just a little over two months now

 

As for now I am off to buy a suitcase. have a great day

Hey Simon,
I just made it really clear, that I view all religion with a non-judgemental attitude. Im willing to sit by and observe and learn. They place us knowning that were not jewish ourselves, I think just as long as they know you will not be disrepectful to them they are fine :)
