Alaina's Program

My name is Alaina George and I will be one of the program leaders to Gaborone, Botswana session II for a GD wildlife conservation trip. I currently live in Spokane, WA and go to medical school at Washington State University. My first trip to Botswana was a semester study abroad at the University of Botswana. This will be my third high school trip there and I keep going back because I love the people and the country!
