standy by

so i am off to burkina faso, africa on monday, may 14th. just thought i would give a little background info so you know what i'm going to be up to this summer. i will be travelling with 3 other queen's students on behalf of queen's project on international development. the four of us are going to be volunteering there for 3 months. kristin will be my partner in a village called sapone, which is just an hour south of the capital ouagadougu, which is where the other 2 kids will be (anthony and kat). kristin and i will be working on an a preliminary agriculture community development project. i'll let you know more about the details when i get them. we're working with an ngo called la fondation pour le developpement communautaire. it's all french there as well as the traditional language, more [mor-ai]. so things are going to be pretty different this summer as there is no electricity, or internet, or running water and stuff. i'm so excited! we'll be going into the city every couple weeks so i'll be able to update my blog then. that just means that i might not be able to email everyone back all of the time but please email me with your summer news! looking forward to have crazy stories and hearing from you. peace.
