| 6th February 2008 The Open Road | In spain... - From: Football Fever at football games, everyone pays 50 euro for tickets and smokes cigarette after cigarette until the game is over. At half time, 70,000 people take out bocadillos (snadwhiches) from home and eat them. They also don't sell alcohol at the game, but every single peson has a non alcoholic beer in hand. Thanks for the stories. I enjoy them thoroughly. |

| 16th December 2007 The Open Road | Greetings from Spain - From: Community Focused Media Hey Nichole, I finally discovered that you have a blog. I am excited to read about your work and adventures. Sounds like the work you are doing is important and I am sure you are learning lots. You are amazing. Life in Spain is pretty good, though I am very busy teaching. I am actually teaching a highschool journalism class along with my Drama and English classes. Spanish kids are loud, but fairly harmless. When I get more time I will sit down and properly catch up on your blogs as I am addicted to reading travel blogs. Much love to you and Sean. Merry Christmas! |

| 18th November 2007 Pat Ribey | thanks for article on Kayayoo - From: Ending Kayayoo in the North Hi Thanks for hearing my question re how do girls/women live in Ghana. I am working with some women to build confidence/ empower women here in rural Sask. We have internalized the core beleifs of society so much that we beleive them to be true. I wonder if this would also be true for women in Ghana? E.g promoting virgin power but not encouraging the women to use their own power to ask for what they need-even as I write this I cam imagine the resistance to this from women. I was pleased to hear about women helping women- this is key here too. Often women put other women down rather than encourage. Thanks. is there any way we could help these centres that teach skills to the girls known as Kayayoo??? |
| 14th November 2007 Vicki | - From: The Answer my Friend is blowin' in the wind. Wow Nichole. Your photos are gorgeous. Keep sending updates. Tales of hot and dry are much needed. The malaria not so much. Glad to hear Shawn recovered. Peace and papaya-o-laterns, Vicki |
