I know not everyone feels that way, so I wanted to offer some last minute Halloween inspiration. If you’re the only one without a costume, don’t worry. Here are a few last minute suggestions that [...]

    Happy Birthday/New Year

    November 4th, 2011

    By chance we happened to be in Ethiopia on the Ethiopian New Year, which also coincidentally happened to be my birthday! How crazy is that? So during my time in Africa the whole country was preparing to celebrate with decorations, music and of course the best thing at any good party, food! On the evening [...]

    What Donation Dollars Look Like

    What Donation Dollars Look Like

    November 3rd, 2011

    They say seeing is believing. We wanted to travel to Ethiopia to show where donation dollars are actually spent and in doing so motivate continued support from young Canadians. After hearing so many stories about complications with food donations and general desensitization about assistance, it was important to see donations and resources going directly to [...]

    I was a little shocked that it actually rained several times on our visit to Ethiopia. However, as we discussed with Rosemary, the rains had come too late and were not nearly heavy enough to solve the very serious problems the country faces. From my privileged position, I began to put myself in the shoes [...]

    Falling in Love with Ethiopia: The Arsi Zone

    November 1st, 2011

    We traveled south from Addis Ababa to an even more remote region called the Arsi Zone. The landscape became rocky and hilly yet still green, but very different from what we had seen in the Shebedino District. I noticed the people we passed were so striking that I couldn’t help taking pictures from the car [...]

    During our drive Rosemary explained how she achieved her current position at Plan and described her first trip to Africa 20 years ago. She left her position as a lawyer to concentrate fully on international development when she was a young woman. I think since I’ve met her I’ve asked her at least a million [...]

    Did I mention I’m the worst flyer I’ve ever met? The irony is I travel as much as I can and usually prefer destinations located across oceans. This generally means that for me travel is basically a religious experience. Thankfully I had movies for the two flights and fourteen hours it takes to get from [...]
