Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
It is the greatest of struggles, but one who makes peace between his ego and his mission in life can make peace between the world and its purpose of creation, between women and man, between Earth and Heaven.
ABOUT ME
I am currently a NGO Capacity Building Consultant for the United States Peace Corps. I'm in my final year working in Botswana and I have really enjoyed the experiences and challenges that each day brings. Before coming to Botswana I was completing my masters degree in International Conflict Resoultion while working for a refugee resettlement agency and repetraiting former Liberian child soldiers back to Liberia. Backpacking is beginning to become a serious passion and I look forward to the excitement that comes along with it. Who knows how much time I'll have to be a free spirit so its best to get it in while I can.
PHILOSOPHY
Personal satisfaction has as much to do with helping others as it does with assuring personal gratification. Our lives are intertwined in a web so complex, that one can not realize it unless he or she takes the time to truly get to know a stranger.
