I love blogging

blogging is a little strange. dont really know what to write... dont really have a particular direction. I will try for those of you out there who want to know what I am doing!!Right now Im into day two in Toronto. Pretty good stuff! The house has its own beautiful dynamic going on... with 22 people starting a pretty intense chapter of life, who barely know each other crammed into one house with lots of character, how could there not be a beautiful dynamic!I had alot of mixed emotions coming into this.. excited, anxious, insecure, motivated, hopeful. I didnt feel prepared enough to be going to Malawi in a week from getting here. But it is very comforting to know that I am not alone!!! Still feeling a tad surreal, but in fact very real.
Im grateful to have this oppurtunity to be a part of Engineers Without Borders in this way! Thanks to everyone who has been a part of helping to get me here!!
Im not sure what people would like me to blog about... so if you have any questions or things you would like to know more about, please feel free to post and ask away. Or send me off an email! I understand that not everything will interest everybody... From the different people that will be reading this I know that there will definatly be different points of interest for those different people! so..... let me know what you wanna know and I will tackle it the best I can.So I will be living Dwangwa, a village on the east coast of Malawi right on the lake. And I will be working with the Wildlife & Environment Society of Malawi in the water/sanitation sector. Also income generation will be something I will be working on, which I just found out!! I do not know exactly what my job will look like, and I won't know until I get there. (after the 25-30 hour travel from Toronto) So when I have more specifics I will be sure to pass them along!
For now thats about it... because I am exhausted and do really need 7 solid hours of sleep to get me through tomorrow!!
much love!
