Adventures In Rwanda

Allie's going to appreciate this : )

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.

Greg took this picture when visiting SF. We hope you can visit us in San Francisco. If not now, when I get back next year!
