Blog Attempt #2

So I previously began a blog on a different site, thinking my decision a good one. I was severely mistaken. Not only could I not load photos (for some unknown reason), but after writing a few posts, I soon began experiencing difficulties simply creating posts or referencing past ones - Firefox would completely shutdown. So, I am now starting afresh. Hopefully, I will be able to salvage those past posts and repost them here.

Quick update - this is a summer in Africa. I began in Ghana, where I went on a faculty-led mini-term with a small group from my university in order to study the role on Ghanaian women in national development. The program was about three weeks and packed with fun and informative excursions. Next, I alone headed to Kigali, Rwanda, to work with Urwego Opportunity Bank, a partner bank of Opportunity International - a microfinance institution. Here I have been since late May and will remain until the end of July.

I hope to use this blog while here as a way to update those concerned and interested on my activities and experiences and later simply as a way to disclose some of my thoughts. I hope you enjoy following me on my journey.
