Happy Birthday/New Year

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 [...]

Girl Power

Girl Power

November 2nd, 2011

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

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 [...]

Asking Questions

Asking Questions

October 29th, 2011

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 [...]

On The Road

On The Road

October 28th, 2011

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 [...]

African Daydreams

African Daydreams

October 27th, 2011

With all of this on my mind I began to ask myself a lot of questions. The leading question was a simple but very important one: why does this keep happening? There’s no easy conversation to have here because it is actually a very complicated answer. I looked forward to discussing the possibilities. While we’re [...]
