Exit Stage Left | Rebuilding Foundations
https://rebuildingfoundationsblog.wordpress.com/2014/12/07/exit-stage-left
An exploration of international development work in Africa. It might be awhile before I return to Africa and/or blogging. I hope you enjoyed reading my thoughts and ideas over the past few months. Maybe some things from my Ways to Help from Home. List struck a chord or now you want to visit Ghana yourself. Regarding international development, I still don’t think money is the best answer. If you want to donate, however, I recommend Engineers Without Borders. Ways to help from home. Enter your comment here.

‘Cause my heart has found its home | Rebuilding Foundations
https://rebuildingfoundationsblog.wordpress.com/2014/12/05/cause-my-heart-has-found-its-home
An exploration of international development work in Africa. 8216;Cause my heart has found its home. In the past, when I thought of traveling I listened to Dido’s song Sand in my Shoes. I’ve still got sand in my shoes. And I can’t shake the thought of you. Now, though, I find myself listening to Dido’s Look No Further. I might have been a singer. Who sailed around the world. A gambler who wins millions. And spent it all on girls. I might have been a poet. Who walked upon the moon. I might have loved a king.

4/4: Thank You | Rebuilding Foundations

The worry would have been too awful for my family and friends. Even if none of these were real, they saved me. So did my colleague, H. I don’t know how I would have managed without her. Even though I couldn’t tell you at the time, your love still carried me through everything. Newer Entry →. 2 thoughts on “ 4/4: Thank You. UBC geography pr...

An exploration of international development work in Africa. Ways to Help from Home. I love getting mail! Nowadays, though, a full email and/or Facebook inbox is the equivalent of real mail. Lately there has been a common subject among my messages: what are my thoughts about international development? Some of the past EWB Junior Fellows are now back in school and trying to put their experiences in context with what they’re learning. Ways to Help from Home. Support access to cheap medical drugs. My sassy f...

Failure Report | Rebuilding Foundations
https://rebuildingfoundationsblog.wordpress.com/2014/12/06/failure-report
An exploration of international development work in Africa. EWB is a unique organization for a variety of reasons, one of which is their annual Failure Report. Every year, different EWBers writes about their struggles, challenges, and fiascoes. In the international development world, no one wants to admit that their projects don’t work. They’ve taken money from donors and implemented a new idea on the ground; afterwards they need convince everyone why it was worth the money. Sick 1/3 of the time (typhoid...
