My Journey to Toronto and beyond

Coming to Toronto was exciting, my first plane trip ever. From Montreal I took the Boeing 777, it was huge. Training was fun, I feel a little prepared, especially with the practical exercise we did today, interviewing mock Zambian farmers interested in growing Sorghum. We leave tomorrow and fly through Milan, an eight hour stop over. When I get to Accra it will be very late and we will stay in Accra before leaving for Tamale in the morning. I am excited, this is a whole day bus ride! After a week of in country training I will head to Buipe where I will spend the next 4 months cruzing around on the back of a motor cycle. I am excited!

Pre-departure 'Learning'

Definately doing a lot of learning. Toronto is awsome, I rode sweet Boeing 777 plane to get here from Montreal. I will be going through Milan to get to Ghana next sunday. My second homework assignment this week: do a crazy presentation on Monitoring and Evaluation: identifying relative factors.... It will be good. Talk to you later.
