By: Benjamin Kent Sawubona Readers! Wow, the end of March already! It’s amazing to look back at all of the fun times I have had so far and, since my blog post about my Safari, work has been getting more hectic– but in a fun-filled way! Preparation for the Gold Coast 2018 Commonwealth Games (GC2018) […]

There’s More to See Than Can Ever be Seen (in Swaziland)
By: Benjamin Kent Sawubona Readers! Just another update from here in Swaziland. Work has been pretty hectic as of late, preparing for the Swaziland National Team to depart for the Gold Coast 2018 Commonwealth Games in less than 2 weeks! The preparation has involved me continuing the work of Nick by preparing a referral handbook for […]
When the Weather’s Fine, We go Fishing or go Swimming in (Swaziland)
By: Benjamin Kent Sawubona Readers!! This is the second of two back-to-back posts I have! I felt that there was so much more I could talk about, both in terms of work and an exciting experience I had this past weekend. There was some rain this past weekend, but despite rain’s normal tendency to “rain on […]
How you feeling? (Hot, hot, hot)
By: Benjamin Kent Sawubona from Swaziland! Just as I was surprised how quickly January went by, February did the same! One of the biggest changes I have faced is how hot it is as of late. Since Swaziland is on the opposite side of the equator than Canada, this is actually their Summer! The temperature has […]
You (SOCGA staff) Got a Friend in Me
By: Benjamin Kent Can’t believe it is February already!! What a whirlwind of fun times and learning this has been. This past week the SOCGA staff was busy preparing for the Annual General Meeting I discussed briefly in my last post.

Everybody’s Working for the (Braai this) Weekend
By: Benjamin Kent Sawubona and Hello from Swaziland, What an adventure this has been so far. The experiences have been phenomenal, and the work has been nothing short of amazing, as well. To start, I felt it would be most fitting to introduce you to the office: As you enter you are greeted by this large […]
Hello, is it (Swaziland) you’re looking for.
By: Benjamin Kent Hello and Sawubona from Swaziland!! It has been just over 1 week since I arrived in Manzini and travelled here to Mbabane. I think I just got used to the time change today, the jet lag was more difficult to conquer than I thought it would be. After about 28 hours of travel, […]
Sweetest Goodbye
By Nick Hayman: Sawubona! It’s been a while but Swaziland has offered me many more new and exciting experiences. 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 […]
