In the middle of April, I (LeeAnne) flew off to Maputo, Mozambique with 14 ISK students and one more ISK teacher. Our destination: the Global Issues Service Summit, Africa's equivalent of the Global Issues Network conferences I have been attending with students for three years in Asia. It was an inspiring and moving four days, and my students came back full of passion and conviction that they can change the world. What a blessing to accompany them on this trip. Maputo, as a capital city, is on the coast and features some stunning Portuguese architecture. Also, I was blessed to spend a day at a children's home called Project Liberty, where about 20 children (many who are HIV positive) are loved and cared for by an incredible American woman and a small, dedicated staff.
