About Me

Lauren O'Brien
In October 2010 I will be heading off to Zambia for 2 years where I will be volunteering under the auspices of VSO. I am going with my boyfriend Mike who is also volunteering. We will be based in the town of Livingstone, located approximately 10kms from the beautiful Victoria Falls! My placement is with a local NGO which aims to improve the lives of people living with or impacted by HIV/AIDS. I hope through this blog to share my stories, experiences and adventures.
