Days of Gold
Dumela! Another month is almost in the books and somehow March felt like the quickest of them all. I guess that is what being super busy will do to you. I only have two weeks left in Gaborone and I am trying to enjoy each day the best I can. Like I said, March was […]

Brock the World
Time really does fly here in TCI, especially when you are playing host to 23 students and faculty from Brock University! This past month has been primarily dedicated to the Brock University students’ arrival and the two programs that are the focus of their time in Turks and Caicos—the Brock University Achievement Through Sport Initiative […]
