Back to Work

Since the beginning of June its been back to work for me! I signed my new contract with Canada World Youth and am very excited to be back working and keeping myself busy! My first week back was a week of training in Edmonton, after that it was straight to Montreal for a another week of training at the beautiful Jouvence. Then after a great week of training with the other 50 project supervisors coordinating projects like mine, it was straight home to Alberta and then off to my new host community- the small yet exciting town of Camrose!

The host community so far seems to be highly receptive of Canada World Youth and there sounds like there will be a number of cool interesting work projects and fun eco-projects for us to do in and around Camrose. For instance, we have been invited to help with a straw-bale house project, an eco-commune, a tree planting project at someone's cabin, a native tree planting project, etc, etc.... it already seems as though the list is endless.

I have already been in touch with my new counterpart- Marciana and it feels like we are going to work quite well together! She is a past particpant too and did the program as a project supervisor last year!

Each time I drive from Camrose to Edmonton I make a new fun music CD for the drive. Its great as it usually consists of South African and Mozambican music which is getting me super excited for the program!
