Saturday, May 19, 2007. Due to the fact I’ll only have access to internet every two weeks or so, I’ll be posting multiple blog entries at a time. Hopefully they’re not too long-winded, and you find them interesting! For now I just have one letting you know where i'm living and what its like here, next time I'll have some more information about what I'm working on and more about the people who i've come to know here. Thanks for all your comments, its nice to hear from you all. The village is based down th...

Laura in Ghana: August 2007
http://laurarobson.blogspot.com/2007_08_01_archive.html
I'm a civil engineering student at the University of Manitoba living in Ghana for four months (from May to August 2007) for an internship with Engineers Without Borders Canada. Tuesday, August 14, 2007. Religion, churches, and proper good-byes. My time here is rapidly coming to a close. I'm leaving my district this week. I'm heading to the south starting on the weekend. I leave Ghana on the 21st. I reach Toronto on the 22nd. I reach Winnipeg on the 26th. It was then that I realized the impact of me leavi...

I'm a civil engineering student at the University of Manitoba living in Ghana for four months (from May to August 2007) for an internship with Engineers Without Borders Canada. Thursday, April 19, 2007. Tonight, on the evening on the 19th, my friend asked me, "How is your head not exploding? How many days is it until to leave? Instead, I'm setting up this blog to help in communication with my friends and family during the time I'm overseas. I'm Laura Robson, and I am heading to Ghana for an internshi...

Marika in Malawi: June 2007
http://marikainmalawi.blogspot.com/2007_06_01_archive.html
Monday, June 18, 2007. Posted by Marika Marty. For the love of the game. The fact the game is played for the most part in bare feet on a dirt field that is rarely level, only underlines the strength and skill of these men in my mind, and puts in perspective a real love of the game. Posted by Marika Marty. That’s right ladies and gents, after a long day of work, a quick tour of the sights and sounds of one of the hottest spots for wildlife in Malawi. ELEPHANTS! I’ll put in a little disclaimer here, ...

Marika in Malawi: July 2007
http://marikainmalawi.blogspot.com/2007_07_01_archive.html
Tuesday, July 24, 2007. Climb every mountain.gulp. We had planned to set off early in the morning, but he was delayed because one of the tenants had stolen some things and run off. He was upset because this particular tenant had been a close friend, and he felt much betrayed by this, understandably so. So the minibus dropped us at the end of a dirt road with a sign posted: Livingstonia 15km. Before you actually get to Livingstonia there’s this amazing waterfall set back in the forest that drops ove...

Marika in Malawi: Sweetness
http://marikainmalawi.blogspot.com/2007/06/sweetness.html
Monday, June 18, 2007. I’ve been spoiled once again, as one of these 5 meetings happened to take place right on the doorstop of Vwoza Marsh Game Reserve. Doubly so, as CAPS, a member of our team had previously worked with the staff on negotiating peace with the surrounding villagers (I’ll get to that in a minute), and was super tight with them still. What did this neat little equation add up to? Posted by Marika Marty. I miss chewing on it! Turns out, it's now available in many Indian stores in Canada!

Marika in Malawi: Wild Thang
http://marikainmalawi.blogspot.com/2007/06/wild-thang.html
Saturday, June 2, 2007. So the adventure of Nyika….The original plan was to leave Rumphi by 8:30am Thursday morning, after picking up the farmers in 7 different communities and the supplies for meals. The drive was estimated to take about 3-4 hours, so we’d complete the tour Thursday afternoon, stay overnight at the park at the youth hostel camp and head back early Friday morning. Thanks to my training with EWB, I had the additional thought to take advantage of the fact many of them were from different d...
