Hi. My name is Jacklyn. I am 14 and I love to read and write. I love to travel and see new places. In fact, I just went on a trip to Asia in Febuary. It was amazing. We saw temples, ancient towers, palaces, caves, and so much more. My family and I went to Hong Kong, Vietnam, Cambodia, Singapore, and then we spent a couple days in Vancouver, Canada, visiting friends. I have been to Tanzania, Africa twice to help support an orphanage there. The kids are all lots of fun and really smart. The orphanage is called Majengo. You should check out the Warren Majengo Foundation and learn about some of the kids. It's really inspiring, how Majengo has grown and what we have done for these amazing kids. Besides traveling, reading, and writing, I like to hang out with my friends and go hiking in the woods outside my house with my dogs Pendo (which means love in Swahili) and Paka (meaning cat, yes, I named my dog cat). I love animals and nature too. I am not afraid of spiders, snakes, bears, or anything else you would find in the woods in Pennsylvania. In the summer, I go outside every day with my dogs, walk really far into the woods, and write. It's so easy to write when I'm surrounded by nature!
