Who are we?

The Team (so far) consists of three white girls, who will be affectionately referred to as Girl 3, Girl 2, and Girl 1.

GIRL 3
Girl 3 (ABOVE LEFT), Kayleen, hails from Fall Creek, Wisconsin. She is a Linguistics major at Northwestern and can tell you anything you ever wanted to know about languages. She plans to master Arabic, Swahili, and French before we embark. Girl 3 also loves the outdoors and knows a thing or two about backpacking. She is the only one of the trio who has yet to breathe the African air.

GIRL 2
Girl 2 (ABOVE CENTER), Lacy, has much humbler beginnings, coming from Cedar Rapids, Iowa. She's an English major at Northwestern and loves to write. This adventure is destined to give her enough material for several book deals! As an Iowan, she knows some things about corn and pigs, neither of which are staples in Africa. Girl 2 will be your tour guide and narrator on this adventure.

GIRL 1
Girl 1 (ABOVE RIGHT), Nicola, is from the motherland itself - the fact that she is a native of Cape Town, South Africa obviously gives her all the skills necessary for this adventure. A psychology major at Northwestern College in St. Paul, MN, Nicola has acclimated to Minnesota winters, proving that she can adapt to anything. Girl 1 has a heart for the children of Africa, which is a blessing considering she will encounter millions of them.
