Do you have what it takes?

 Recently, Johnny and I were chatting in the car on the way to town and the topic of interns and volunteers came up. 

Oftentimes when a person considers going to Africa, I think he or she might feel they have to be super religious, be a Doctor, or be a 'world changer.' I can remember a lady visiting saying she didn't feel qualified to be on a mission trip to Africa because she was just a hair dresser. Let me tell you, that was years ago, but she was one of the most refreshing guests we ever had. She gave us much needed new looks which perked up our spirits! 

During Johnny's and my discussion, we came to the conclusion that we really could use 'normal folks' like hairdressers, farmers, landscapers, and even just people who can organize clothes or cook!

Often times, visitors imagine themselves doing roles that are not that realistic. We NEED help. Practical help. It may not be glamorous, but it is a need to be filled nonetheless.

Do you have what it takes?

If you feel under qualified, then you are probably the perfect person to volunteer.
