Understanding Ourselves & Others

The Travel and Aid Adventures of a White Family in Namibia
with Erin Kaspar-Frett

We will share our experience working with (not for) two groups of Namibian peoples; one in the heart of the capital in a poverty district and one in a rural village. We cannot even dare to say we are experts in our own privilege or in avoiding white saviorism, but we did go there knowing these exist, and did our best. We are happy to share our experiences and learning (and a few great pictures).

Erin Kaspar-Frett (she/her) is a Licensed Midwife in WI, has a Master of Science in Midwifery and is a mom, gardener, and lover of life. She’s traveled to the continent of Africa several times in life (Tanzania, Botswana 2x, and Namibia 2x). While this location and the people are a love of hers, she chose to take her family for the medical aid trip this year. Erin grew up in Unity and is a member of Unity North Spiritual Center.
