Great Story!
Hi Kristy! I just wanted to quickly say, it was AWESOME to see you in Waterloo and to get caught up. I also really enjoy reading your blog... In fact, tonight I went and heard from a SYDE 03 grad who went with CIDA to Tanzania for 2 years, and turned a year's worth of blog posts into a book, which he was selling to raise money for the org he worked for. Pretty cool idea, if you're so inclined... Looking forward to getting you more involved with the chapter next term. Have a good summer!

great blog kristy! i LOVE the way you challenged the other development workers, but not in an "i'm-right-you're-wrong" kind of way, but a "what can we both be doing better" kind of way. beautifully written entry! can't wait to see you in a couple weeks! :)

Wow!
Hey Kristy. Hearing your story makes me feel proud to be a part of EWB, and it makes me proud to have a friend like you. And you looked soo pretty in your clothes! Enjoy the rest of your stay in Ghana!

Incredible blog!
Really interesting observation about motivations to attend schools, illustrates just how interconnected the fronts of development are...I can feel this one will resonate in me for a while trying to wrap my head around it. Thanks for sharing your stories, they're amazing to read!

keep up the good work
I accidentally came across your blog when I was searching for something to read about kumasi. I am a Ghanaian living outside of Ghana and I appreciate the way people like you are living the everyday life of Ghanaians. You are the best ambassadors of our nation. I travelled the whole length of Ghana last summer. It was really great. We are proud to have ambassadors like you.

Hey Kristy, I haven't had a chance to read all of your entries, but I love the pictures. Life in Malawi has been treating Jason and I well. I hope you are enjoying life in Ghana as much as Jason did. I think he misses it. Take care and all the best. Erin
