First Days

Welcome to the Willamette Law Travels Blog -- join us as we explore, learn and grow.

I honestly don't know where to start.  Returning to Tanzania is always such pure joy for me.  This time, however, I am profoundly grateful to be in the company of some of the most extraordinary students I've ever had the privilege to travel with.  In the last couple of days, I've seen students rise to challenges with delayed flights/missed connections, less than optimal weather, new foods and step outside of their comfort zones.  But what I've also seen, that which makes me so proud of this little band, is how they have rallied around their peers, started building what I think will lifelong friendships, and embraced a new culture and people with open and generous hearts and minds.  I could not, already, be prouder of these people or more humbled that they were willing to take this journey with me.

So, join us over the next couple of weeks.  We have so much to share.
