I will try to be as forward in this bog as possible as I like to keep things to myself.

friends and family and they would like to know what is going on with me when
I am abroad. This is the main reason why this blog is being created. They do
not like the surprise emails that I send to them, especially when things happen.

an international INGO's. My previous works has mainly been in Africa. I have
had the opportunity to be in West, East, and Southern Africa. I love all of those
countries and the people. I met great people and have enjoyed my experiences,
both the good and the bad. Those experiences have made me the person that I
am today and I am very grateful for them. God has also looked after me and that
I am also very grateful.

This is my first time working in Asia and it is also my first visit. I am a bit nervous

to a new continent. I agree that this experience would be interesting for me to
document and also for my friends a family to read about. So here goes...
