So, as many of you know, I am no longer in Africa. However, if you only know me through this blog (or, worse yet, know me but I haven't kept in touch), you might not be aware of that. Yes, I am horrendous at keeping people up to date. I think I put too much pressure on myself to be witty and fun and end up just not finishing anything for fear of being seen as terribly boring.
All this being said, my plan has been for two months now to finish off this blog and start a new one (name to be revealed soon -- after all, I can't really say "the Real Africa" because where I am now is nothing like the Real Africa). So for the next week, I'll be posting Zambia photos with a little bit of info for those of you that are interested, and then starting by next Saturday, I will have a whole new blog with new adventures for you all to read.
And I'm going to post more... I promise.
(And for those of you who haven't heard why I'm not in Zambia any more, here's the skinny:
For the four months I was in Zambia, mypart in the work of my organization there was an evolving process. I was spending some time working on legal issues, but for the most part, I have been involved with other random matters in the office, including filling in as the acting accountant for three weeks, developing newfound skills as the IT person, and just generally serving as a file clerk / administrator (along with Mason, who is infinitely better at this than I am). As much as I enjoyed being with the people at the office, I was becoming discouraged because I felt I wasn’t using my legal skills to help the organization. So after speaking with our office director and the director of the fellowship program, we decided together that it would be best if I moved to an office that more needed the legal skills I can offer. So, I left in February, spent a month at home, and moved on to a busier, more frenetic location...)
