The placement

More information has been provided regarding EWB's involvement in OICI.

Myself, along with Marka Jansen, of McMaster University, and Kristy Minor, of the University of Waterloo will be working on a vast array of projects throughout northern Ghana, including, but not limited to agriculture, water & sanitation, HIV/AIDS awareness and education, micro-entreprise development, etc.

While Marka and myself will only be in Tamale until August, Kristy, who will be joining us in early July, will be involved in the project until June 2007.

Specifically, here are some of the projects we might get involved in:

Kyle: Micro-entreprise and general agricultural development

Marka: Sanitation and hygiene promotion

Kristy: Micro-irrigation promotion, micro-credit, post harvest technologies,
marketing, etc.

Stay tuned! I will continue to give everyone updates as we approach final pre-departure training in Toronto. I arrive in Tamale on May 9th, 2006.

Kyle

I'm going to miss you Kyle. =( You won't be around for the week-o-Justine, or our portaging, or our many Cedar Point trips (though we'll make a special welcome-back-Spruce trip when you get back, and before I leave). Who's going to give me random nicknames during the summer, or sneak out of soils labs with me (and avoid the wrath of the crotchety GAs?)
