Hey all,
I guess for some of you, this will the first that you have heard of this.....I'm going to Mozambique. My ticket is booked....its official. I'm still slightly in shock, as its been a bit of a whirlwind. I am doing an internship with a Canadian organization called Mines Action Canada. They are a coalition of Canadian NGOs that exist to rid the world of Landmines and other explosive remnants of war. My job specifics are sketchy at best at this point, but rest assured dear reader that I will not be involved in any way with demining. My job will be in the exciting field of data management and some GPS work - mapping out suspected landmine fields. So, basically sitting in front of a computer doing excel.....but in Africa....and for a more noble cause than compiling statistics on snow pack in northern Alberta. If you want to learn more about Mines Action Canada, check out the link....and everybody should sign the cluster munition petition. Thats it for now everybody. I'll post again when I have some more exciting news and full colour photos!
Cheers
Jesse
