When it rains it pours!

It's funny as for awhile I didnt know where or what I would be doing after Eritrea, or even if I would stay longer, as in fact I was offered to stay and continue working with NUEW. While keeping my options open I applied to different jobs and even to grad school. Then this week, yesterday, I got both a contract offer with CWY(Canada World Youth) and the official acceptance letter into the grad program I applied for. Since I figured school will always be around, but good jobs are often hard to come by, I took the offer to work with Canada World Youth in the capacity of Project Supervisor. It's very exciting as it's an Tri-lateral Eco-Leadership Program, with participants from Naimbia, Mozambique and Canada. For June through to November I'll be in Revelstoke,BC and then December through March I'll be working in Naimbia. I am very excited, and happy to start my first "salary" job! I am expecting it'll be a challenging, rewarding and highly educational experience!

In the meantime, before my contract starts in June I still plan to travel to Russia to visit Vadim, but will shorten my stay as to be home, in Edmonton, 2 weeks before the contract begins!

The next few weeks are going to be fun and busy, I have a zillion and one things to do here before I leave Eritrea and then off to Russia for a quick vistit with Vadim. Over the next while I am not sure how much access I will have to the internet, so I may or may not be able to give too many updates, till I am back home.
