Welcome!

From May until August of this year I will be living and working in Northern Malawi as part of the Junior Fellowship in International Development Program (JFID) offered with Engineers Without Borders (EWB). In the world of development anacronyms are pretty commonplace, so I'll try and make sure I use the extended versions at least the first time round, but it its ever unclear as to what the heck I'm talking about, let me know and I'll elaborate.

I have started this blog to share these experiences with you, so please feel free to post any comments or questions, or to email me at marika_marty@hotmail.com. I'm not sure what kind of access I will have to internet over the course of the summer, but I will update my blog as much as possible and reply to any responses as soon as I can.

To the side I've posted some links you can check out, as well as links to other EWB volunteers' blogs.
Enjoy!
