Hello! It has been 3 weeks since I arrived here in Gabs and I can’t believe where time has gone. The 36 hours of travel to get here went well with the exception of a few delays in Toronto and Frankfurt. I came prepared for the heat, but the “cold” 25 degrees I arrived to […]

Getting This Pilot Started
Hey Everyone! I can’t believe that the first month of this pilot project has already come and gone. Everything here in Toronto seems to be going by so fast. It seems like just yesterday I was coming in for my first day at The Spot (Jane and Finch Community Centre) and meeting Obosa and Alicia […]
Farewell Botswana, It’s Been Great
Dumela! It has been a couple of days since I arrived back to Canada and it just does not seem real. I wake up every morning and still think I am back in Gaborone. This has been one of the most rewarding and genuine experiences of my life and I could not be more thankful […]
The End of the Beginning
Wow, am I ever going to miss Botswana. This truly has been one of the most authentic, challenging, beautiful, and rewarding adventures. An experience that has given me both personal and academic benefits. Personally, I’ve become someone who is no longer afraid to be alone, even on the other side of the world. Being away […]
Newcomers Play a New Game
A major highlight for some of our newcomers is seeing a team like the Oilers play in Edmonton, but where can they go and play? The barriers to sport make hockey a sport that they see but can’t or rarely play. This past weekend, most newcomers in the neighborhood came to experience a cultural event […]
So Long, Eswatini
Just like that, three months are in the books. As I organize my things in preparation to continue my journey, the memories I’ve made from my experiences in Eswatini are all flowing back. At this point, I’m just glad I can keep those memories with me and don’t need to make room for them in […]
C’est La Vie
Where do I begin . . . I can’t believe that my time here in The Turks and Caicos Islands is coming to an end. This last month has gone by in a blink of an eye and it has been jammed packed with adventure. July marked the start of rugby day-camps that were held […]
Final Countdown
Dumela, I can’t believe I’m already on blog #3. It’s crazy how slow and fast this experience has been so far. Only 3 weeks left until I am back home, which is both exciting and sad. I have gained a true appreciation for this beautiful country, and can’t wait to come back soon. I want […]
Winding Down to the Home Stretch
Dumela! The countdown is officially on! Another month has gone by here in Gaborone and it definitely felt like the quickest of them all. They say time flies when you are having fun, but I could not imagine it flying by this quickly. With just over 3 weeks left in Gaborone and I am trying […]
Olympic Day Fun and More!
Sawubona readers, Our third Olympic Day is complete! After hosting events in Mbabane and Kukhanyeni two weekends ago, the EOCGA team executed our final edition of the event this past weekend in Siteki. The support we received was overwhelming (in a good way), and this was especially so in the Siteki community. Between the three […]
