Dumela, Dumela, Dumela!
Dumela (Hi) from Gaborone, Botswana, where everyone says hi and greets one another with smiles and laughter on the streets. It is crazy to think that Paul and I arrived here in Gaborone only 3 weeks ago, the little time we have spent here has really flown by. At first, we were both nervous but […]
The adventures of Jabu and Busi begin
Along with keeping busy at work for the past few weeks, we have packed our weekends full of activities (when the weather allows us to). Our first weekend here Janice (our landlord) invited us to join her family at church! It was a great service with lots of singing. After service we socialized with some […]

Thank you to SportWORKS, Brock University, QESI, and the TCIRFU for providing me with the experience of a lifetime. This internship has given me a new perspective about the power that sport […]
Bringing Home the Swazi Spirit
Hi Everyone! I can’t believe that the month of November, my last full month in Swaziland, has come to a close. Very soon I’ll be swapping the African sun for Canadian snow!

Time flies when you’re having fun
The month of October has come to an end quicker than I could have ever imagined, the adage “time flies when your having fun” has held true throughout my time in the Turks and Caicos. It’s the halfway point of my internship and it has been one of the most valuable and memorable experiences of […]
