Meet Madeline!

I am excited to share that there is a new volunteer joining the Alianza team in the DR!  Madeline will be helping to develop the safehouse and pre-school program, and will most likely be writing posts for this blog very soon as well!  Here is the bio that she sent me about herself.  Welcome to the team Madeline!!
 
Hello. My name is Madeline Cramer, and I am more than excited to be a part of this community starting in September! I know that this is going to be quite a journey for me, and I cannot wait to see what God has in store both for me and the many people that I will meet! First off, I'm eighteen. I'm from a small, college town in rural Indiana and have just graduated from high school. I currently live at home with my parents, my younger brother, my dog and my four cats, and although I love traveling and desire to learn about the world first-hand, I'm pretty partial to my roots and my community which includes all of my family, friends, neighbors and my church. This passion for my home (along with family friends) allowed me to become involved with a local, small-scale, sustainable farm in my home town where I've spent the past six summers learning about how small communities like my own can support and sustain each other agriculturally. I have also had a long-time passion for ending the sex trade and eventually want to combine a sustainable farm of my own, in a neighboring town, with a ministry focusing on women who have just come out of prostitution. My other hobbies and interests include writing, reading, drawing, listening to music, long-distance running, learning about philosophy, spending time with family and friends, spending time with animals and being outside as much as possible!
