MEDA Orientation

The MEDA orientation for the interships was last week in Waterloo. All of the interns met and spent a week in sessions learning about different aspects of the internships including performing research, cultural issues, health and safety etc. It was really informative and made me even more excited about going to Mozambique!! It was also nice to meet the other interns and discuss issues and concerns we have about the various places we're going to and what exactly we'll be doing. All in all, a successful week. And the food was excellent!!

I'm continuing to work on my Masters project. I'm planning to finish it by the middle of August so I have some time to spend with my family and finish preparations for my internship. Unfortunately I wil not get a chance to go back to Alberta before I go but thankfully my family is coming to Ontario so I will see them before I depart.

I plan to post updates on a fairly regular basis when I get to Mozambique so keep checking back!!
