As of today, I am officially going to Ghana with Engineers Without Borders starting this upcoming March. It is quite late now, and I am very tired but hopeful and energetic as I start a new chapter in my life doing something that I have always wanted to explore: international development work.
After two failed attempts at writing blogs, this is a foray into unexplored territory for me and while I am a bit anxious, I am also excited to learn more about blogging as I go along. To start, I have decided to write a post on the first day of my pre-departure preparations with the intention of posting regularly hereafter. Perhaps, the layout of the blog will change a bit, but I make a commitment here and now to focus more on the content than the design.
The next few days will be filled with getting everything packed up in my apartment and going through all the administrative and logistical exercises to make sure that all my affairs are properly taken care of here in Canada before I leave.
I hope that by blogging, I will be able to allow many people to share in the experiences I will have throughout this upcoming year. I look forward to reading all your comments, and just want to encourage you to speak (write) your mind freely.
Let's have a great journey together!

Hey Reynoldo!
ReplyDeleteWe are so excited at UWO to follow your experiences through your telling. I know how difficult it is to start blogging out of the blue, especially not knowing who is reading! But we're interested, I am interested! Perhaps we can send you ideas about questions we're asking about life in Ghana. I know a few of our chapter are actually going to Ghana this summer (a JF and a civil ID program student) and they're thinking about where and how they'll find a place to live at the moment. Anyways, not the most insightful comment, but we're so lucky to have another thoughtful UWO-er resource overseas ;).
Take care
Annette
