Where in the world is Africa?

Early this morning my mom left for a 25 day mission trip to Nairobi. Because Leah was wondering how long her Grandma Holwerda would be on the plane I showed her where Africa is located on our globe. When she saw the distance from Michigan to Kenya she said, "Wow! That's on the other side of the world! She's going to be on the plane for a long time."

During my mom's stay in Africa she will be helping local women with the Global Bag Ladies project. This is the perfect opportunity for her since she loves to help others and sew and will be able to do both at the same time. I look forward to hearing all about her once in a lifetime experience in a "world" so far away!
