Message From Thailand! I’m finally away and in Thailand! I’ve been at my school in Mae Sai for over a week now, so I guess its time for an update. On flying into Bangkok the heat that hit us was almost overwhelming, but what struck me more was how dark it was at only 6 o’clock: no long evenings for us over here I suppose. After two days in the capital, my project partner, Katie, and I were bussed up North to what is now […]

One of the hardest things about leaving this place will […]

Leaving My Comfort Zone by Sally Greenwood
Home Sweet Home. I have been home from Ghana, where I spent four months, for two weeks today!
