Departure Date

I have a departure date! I'll be leaving from Vancouver on November 4...only 10 more days! We packed my bags today and they are full of malaria medicine, vaccination cards, and sunblock.

I'll arrive in Nairobi on November 6 and stay there for a week of training before heading out to my post. I'm not sure what my placement will be like but I'm posting the links to a few videos of other Kenya volunteers under the Volunteer section in the right hand column so you can get a sense of the type of work volunteers are doing there.

If you want a postcard be sure to send me your street address and I'll see what I can do!

  1. Erin,
    I spent a year and a half in Africa; a little less than a month of it in Mombasa and Nairobi. It was both beautiful and horrible all at the same time. I learned a great deal about myself and how addicted we are to material things in the US and around the developed world. Even though you are not a material girl, it will further engrain this into who you are. I wish you luck on your journey. Please keep us all posted. Thank you for taking on such a task... it is a very giving and selfless act. My thoughts are with you. Kevin Weitzel @ Tribe Multisport

  8. Hi there just wanted to give you a quick heads up.
    The words in your article seem to be running off the screen in
    Opera. I'm not sure if this is a format issue or something to do with internet browser compatibility but I figured I'd post to let you know.
    The layout look great though! Hope you get the issue solved soon.
    Thanks

  17. My coder is trying to convince me to move to .net from PHP.

    I have always disliked the idea because of the costs.
    But he's tryiong none the less. I've been using Movable-type on
    a variety of websites for about a year and am concerned about switching
    to another platform. I have heard fantastic things about
    blogengine.net. Is there a way I can import all my
    wordpress content into it? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

  19. Howdy this is kind of of off topic but I was wanting to know if blogs use WYSIWYG
    editors or if you have to manually code with HTML. I'm starting a blog soon but have no coding knowledge so I wanted to get advice from someone with experience. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

  20. I do not write many comments, but i did a few searching and wound up here "Departure Date".
    And I do have 2 questions for you if you do not mind. Is it
    just me or does it look like a few of these responses look like they are left
    by brain dead folks? :-P And, if you are writing on other social sites, I'd like to keep up with everything fresh you have to post. Could you list of every one of your public pages like your linkedin profile, Facebook page or twitter feed?
