The Countdown Begins ...

Thank you for the warm welcome to the blogging world. I will do my best to update with stories of my adventures in Ghana.

Quick Backgrounder:

Although Vancouver has been very good to me, I'm leaving (for now). I'm going to work with the West Africa AIDS Foundation as an Accounting Trainer for 5 months. I am being sent by Canadian Crossroads International and sponsored by NetCorps. The position requires that I work on the organizations financial management systems (I don't know quite when I became a techie) and help a women's support group with income-generating activities. I'm staying with a host family in Accra (the capital).

You'll have a blast. Except for the part about the training. (But you can be drinking for that, maybe?) I can't wait to hear more, and I can't wait to see you in Toronto before you go!
