On my way

I am writing from the ever so exotic location of..... Ottawa! Ok, so I'm not yet in Tanzania but I have said my goodbyes and packed my stuff and will now spend two weeks in training in Ottawa, Montreal and Toronto before heading overseas September 30th. I will be working at the University of Dar es Salaam to build the capacity of their HIV/AIDS committee as part of a program at U of T's Centre for International Health to increase the role of Universities in combating the AIDS epidemic in Africa. Or something like that... it's all a little vague but soon enough I'm sure it will all be clearer. I have spent the last two weeks quickly pulling together all the necessary fragments for this experience (visa still MIA) and am looking forward to two weeks of relaxing with all the new people I'm meeting. Already regretting the lack of sweaters. Anyway, stay tuned here for updates on what I'm doing, where I'm going and, of course, photos.

Hi Nicole
I hope you are enjoying Ottawa, I did some growing up there and loved it.
Looks like a very exciting adventure you are embarking on...I can't wait for the blogs!
"Working Visa" mine have determined it is an oxymoron, as it actually gets in the way of work,due to expiry dates and waiting for the next one to be issued. Look forward to hearing more as you blog on.
hugs gee

So does this mean you're actually going to be updating this puppy instead of letting it lie dormant?

If you are then "woohoo!"

Oh, and by the by, there's a typo in my blog link on your sidebar (it's theorem, not theorum)...
