Cliché, yes, but true nonetheless, time does pass by so very quickly. I’ve only 8 weeks left to go! I continue to enjoy my work with PATH and the camaraderie with my colleagues here, and I revel in the fact that I am learning every day, especially about myself. So what have I learned about […]

They are collecting water from one neighbor for the primary necessities only. This institution supports 38 […]

The Nigeria I saw
posted by manishburman
What comes to mind when you hear Nigeria? Lagos? Oil? Crime? Corruption? Well, that’s not surprising. However, allow me to introduce you to the Nigeria I saw. Before I do that though, I will shamefully admit that until I experienced and explored Nigeria, the things that would have come to my mind would’ve been Boko […]

This picture was taken at Oudong where had been ex-capital city in Cambodia from 1618 to 1866 (older history than Angkor Wat). When you stand on this point, you can feel that you could see all over the Cambodia. I stood there and felt like “this city saw all of Cambodia.” By the way, some […]

Organizing Sales Challenge with Teams!
posted by adelbarre
Our team faced drops in sales last month. Morale in rural areas is quite low: communities do not have a lot of money due to an unfruitful harvest.

The melody of emptiness
posted by manishburman
I wanted to write another blog with personal reflection, as a follow up to ‘where is home’. I sat down almost every evening for the last 4 weeks to put something interesting together. Thousands, if not more, of different and intermixed emotions flashed by but the page still remained blank. I couldn’t work out why […]

Open heart … A coeur ouvert…
posted by Caroline Lefebvre-Desjardins
Three weeks ago I was in France for a one-week short break with my family. I really enjoyed every moment spent with all of them. I REALLY enjoyed all that I have. I also realized that, before going in Nigeria, I did not take advantage of life as I should. I enjoyed during this break […]
