1. I am so excited.
2. I haven't even started packing, but I have time to sort that out later.
3. I know where I'll be volunteering for the middle two weeks of the program.
Liverpool has the privilege to host an African music festival called Africa Oyé. I will be helping out in any way I'm needed so that this festival can get underway smoothly. Luckily, my program group will still be in Liverpool while it's happening, so we'll be able to attend and appreciate all the hard work it took put everything together.
I think that Africa Oyé will be a fantastic opportunity to learn about and celebrate other communities, which is a big part of the GIEU program. One big focus of our program is African culture in England (and Liverpool specifically), and I'm sure we will see many examples during this festival

| Sefton Park, where Africa Oyé is held, doesn't look too shabby either. |
