Alex goes to zambia. May 25, 2015. I’m in Zambia now. Today is Monday, meaning that this is my fifth full day in Zambia! I’m living in Lusaka, the capital city, and will be working out of Rent-to-Own’s main office. Here is how it went down:. They also had a pretty good selection of both Western and African movies, as well as decent and plentiful food. After eating, sleeping, reading, and watching Dumb and Dumber, Selma, and an African film about a grandmother who kills people, we arrived in Addis! Over t...

Alex goes to zambia. September 1, 2015. September 1, 2015. I’m back in Canada now! I have not been doing great on the blogging front, but I’d like to write a couple more over the next few weeks.

Pre-dep! – alexambia
https://alexambia.wordpress.com/2015/05/24/pre-dep
Alex goes to zambia. May 24, 2015. May 25, 2015. I spent the last week in Toronto, doing pre-departure training with the 23 other Junior Fellows from EWB university chapters across Canada. The house was small and there were a lot of us, but we kept ourselves busy:. One key take away from pre-dep is that the JF gang is a great group, and it will be super valuable to keep up with their placements and learn from their experiences. Leave a Reply Cancel reply.

Alex, why are you going to Zambia? – alexambia
https://alexambia.wordpress.com/2015/05/10/hello-world
Alex goes to zambia. May 10, 2015. May 23, 2015. Alex, why are you going to Zambia? This summer, my “work term” is with Engineers Without Borders. I’m going to Zambia. Not Zimbabwe, Zambia. It’s, you know, at the bottom of the Africa hand. Over the past four months, I attended EWB’s national conference, met 23 other JFs from across Canada, and applied and interviewed for specific placements. I spent a week in Toronto sharing a very small house and two bathrooms with those 23 other JFs, and. Wish I had se...

Alex goes to zambia. September 1, 2015. Running to End Poverty. This will be the first time I am participating in the run, and one of the first times I run at all.

How do I explain? | dreamingparachute
https://dreamingparachute.wordpress.com/2015/05/14/hello-world
Tangential Thoughts and Quotes. How do I explain? May 14, 2015. May 20, 2015. How do you explain to people in your lives, when something revolutionary, ground-breaking, and amazing occurs in your life? Do you keep it short and sweet, thinking that they won’t care, or couldn’t understand even if they did? Do you eloquently describe a few choice tales, crafting words into a hook to bring people in? What if these people are you family, the ones that love you no matter what? What about the world? Even now, I...

Flash! – wind up and release
https://windupandrelease.wordpress.com/2015/06/27/flash
Wind up and release. The adventures, thoughts, and feels of a Junior Fellow with Engineers Without Borders. June 27, 2015. June 27, 2015. So are you ready? Prepare for my life in 20 images! Though it may be crowded, a bit run-down, and filled with critters (we’ve caught mice and bed bugs), I feel a lot of love for this home. Lovely Keneni (U of R chapter president) was in town for President’s Retreat, and we had a refreshing chat about life and EWB. How could you not love that smile? Back to normal life,...

A Shameless Dose of Youthful Idealism – Kyela de Weerdt
https://kyeladeweerdt.wordpress.com/2016/07/24/a-shameless-dose-of-youthful-idealism
A Shameless Dose of Youthful Idealism. July 24, 2016. August 2, 2016. It used to be that everything I saw abroad was glorified by being new and different. This glamour is evaporating. I have had the honour of travelling so much that places on opposite sides of the earth are beginning to look the same. What happens when that travel spell dissipates? I was reliving some of my adventures recently:. I have slept in an Irish barn and worked for my food by shovelling potatoes. This week has been rough. The...
