HI Hi all-
This is Amy, guest posting for Morgan again. My summer was spent exploring a little island, Mauritius, which lies east of Madagascar in the Indian Ocean. Not many Americans have heard of it because of it's remote location but it is a jam packed island filled with over a million people and some of the most beautiful scenery you could imagine. I helped in two schools and an orphanage during my internship there. The two schools were for children with disabilities which was a challenge on it's own. On top of that, all the children mainly only spoke their native French Creole so communication was difficult. I also had two weeks at the end of my stay for holiday. This was the best part, especially since I became close friends with locals there who were more than happy to show me their stomping grounds. It was a life changing experience that I will never forget. Here are some pictures so you can experience a piece of Ile Maurice yourself :)
