As many of you are aware, I have attended two trainings in Ottawa to help prepare me for working in development (something I truly had never associated with my own future volunteer experience in Africa). Although I had always been interested in history and politics, these trainings helped me put my base knowledge into a wider development context. This has been emotionally charged, yet intellectually stimulating. I realize that my politics have tended to lean in the direction I am going, but that I am nervous about the implications of my work and even presence abroad. I have found it very enlightening to think about the effects of development, globalization, and even travel abroad. I would love to read your comments about your pereception of development work.

hi jules!
i wanted to be the first comment on you blog! i know how fun it is to see comments on your blog so here's mine. we are settled back in nelson and had so much fun at the wedding and seeing everyone. i know i haven't heard your voice for the past year but it's strange that i really won't have a chance to talk to you for the next year, unless africa and new zealand have special phone rates set up. love you

Jules,
This is pretty cool! I can't wait to follow your adventures via this blog. (I also expect to talk to you now and then, once I figure out how to do that without breaking the bank!) We will really miss you, but hope to visit, as you know.
Love,
Mom
