Welcome to my blog!
You will find here throughout the summer news and updates about my placement. Don't hesitate to leave comments or questions, I will be more than happy to reply. For me, this blog is a way to communicate and share my experience overseas. I would like to apologize right away to English speakers as my posts will first be posted in French (French version website). As you probably all know, French is the official language in Burkina and it will therefore be easier for me to write first in French. I will translate the posts as fast as possible.
And now, a bit of background about Engineers Without Borders (EWB). EWB was created in 2000 by Parker Mitchell and George Roter. After 9 years, the organization now has 35,000 members over Canada and sent over 300 volunteers overseas! EWB believes that poverty is not about weakness. Poverty is an absence of opportunity.
