Hello
everyone
As
I am about to travel to Uganda, Africa as part of the 2012
WaterCan Study Tour, I am also excited
to share this experience with my family and friends. I consider this a
once in a lifetime opportunity to see what life is like in Africa
and how the efforts of WaterCan, a Canadian charity, are working to improve
basic living conditions for some African people. WaterCan helps African people have access to clean water, basic sanitation and hygiene education.
I am
especially grateful to get the support from my wife, Melanie, to allow me to
take some time away from our family to take part in this unique
opportunity. I am also thankful for the
support I have received from the Rideau Valley Conservation Authority where I have been working to better understand and protect our local drinking water supplies for the last 7 years.
I am
planning to write several blog entries throughout the duration of my trip so I
can document and share my experiences and observations. Before leaving on February 10th, I am also
planning to provide some brief information about WaterCan and Uganda to help ‘set the stage’.
Any comments would be much appreciated. To leave a comment all you have to do is click on the word 'comment' on the homepage of this blog, and then follow the instructions.
Lastly, a big 'Thanks' to Sean Crogie who helped me set up this blog!
Your colleagues at RVCA are very excited about this journey and are looking forward to reading all about your Ugandan experience via your blog site. Great site by the way! - R
