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 […]
Carpe Diem
This past month has been a busy one and I can’t believe that my time here in Turks and Caicos is more than halfway done. Since I have become more comfortable with the layout of the land, I have made it my mission to venture out more and try new things. I have been lost on […]
Olympic Celebrations and Much More!
Dumela, Wow, where does the time go? It’s crazy to think that I have reached the halfway point of my trip already. I’m still getting used to my surroundings but finding my way around a lot easier than before. Every day consists of a new experience or adventure, that keeps me excited and happy to […]
Olympic Day in Gaborone
Dumela! It seems crazy to think that I have been in Botswana for almost two months, time feels like it is flying by as I have started to settle in here in Gaborone. I am getting a feel for the city and the culture, from the food, some Setswana phrases and local slang, I think its […]
