It’s currently my last week at work and I’ll be finishing up my big school project on the wheelchair basketball program the following week. Most of my work the last month or so has been around […]

October Rain
By Nick Hayman: Hi there, Nick here with some more Swazi shenanigans. It’s been quite a slow past 3 weeks around the office as there have not been too many events scheduled and it has been raining almost all the time. I’d estimate that 2 of every 3 days I’ve been here it rained at […]
Saying Goodbye to Botswana
By: Elizabeth Kujbida Dumela everyone, for the final time! It’s been a little over a month since my internship with the BNOC wrapped up, and three weeks since I’ve been back in Canada so I figured it was probably due time that I wrapped up my final blog too! The last month and a bit […]
All of These Things That I’ve Done
By Nick Hayman: Sawubona and hello; Nick here, or as they now call me in Swati, Sipho (“Seep-Fow”, it means “Gift” in Swati). 2 weeks in and the Swaziland Olympic and Commonwealth Games Association (SOCGA) have thrown me right into the fire with events of many kinds. Let’s dig right in. One of the first […]
Successful Tournament and Lots of Goodbyes

Gonna Take Some Time To Do The Things I Never Have
By Nick Hayman: Sawubona and hello! After a longwinded journey from Toronto to Mbabane which included planes, trains, automobiles and a rather strange part of Frankfurt, Germany (Maybe I should have just stayed in the airport for that layover…), I’ve finally made it. My first 4 days in Swaziland have only involved settling in, as […]
Getting Set for the Beach Volleyball Tournament
By Trevor Teeuwsen: Dumela everybody, As I write this, I have only eight days left in Gaborone now. My internship has been an amazing experience and I am filled with a lot of mixed emotions about having to leave so soon. Botswana has definitely left its mark on me and I hope my stay here […]
TCI: July in Review
By Ryan Sutton: July marked the official start of my Young Flamingos Rugby Summer Camp; an official branding I gave name to in order to generate a little more appeal. Starting a camp is a lot more work than anticipated, especially in a foreign country. In doing so, I had to create registration forms, flyers […]
Lots to tell, but all went well!
By Matt Spina: Hello again everyone! What a crazy, crazy month. I really can’t believe 30 days have passed since my last post. Shortly after our “Canada Day” celebration, the hours became longer and longer until we reached a point where we were spending less time at home per day than the office. This was […]
