Thank You South Africa
How is it that a small town boy from Saskatchewan, Canada end up working on HIV/AIDS in Africa? Easy answer: AIESEC. This organization truley is the platform for individuals to discover and develop their potential.
On August 14th, my time in South Africa came to an end. Over the last four months, I have been excited, challenged, shocked, and enlightened. These things did not happen by chance. They occured because I took a challenge and stepped out of the bubble I was used to.
While in South Africa, I experienced a country that is vastly different from my own and realities that are also vastly different from my own. I had the opportunty to interact with over 30 of the most incredible individuals from all over the world. Each one with a different set of perspectives and experiences to share. I had the opportunity witness the realities of the HIV/AIDS pandemic.
So to everyone, I had the pleasure of meeting or working with in South Africa, I would like to say Thank You! You have truely challenged my world view and changed my life!
Please stay in touch & I hope to see you all again in 2010!
