Charlotte in Africa: Going back to Africa
http://charlotte-in-africa.blogspot.com/2008/05/going-back-to-africa.html
Wednesday, May 21, 2008. Going back to Africa. It's been exactly a year, and i'm going back to Africa, so it made sense to use this blog again. The last few weeks have been crazy, trying to finish exams, and plan things for the trip. I also, with the help of a wonderful boyfriend and friends, planned a couple of fundraising events. It's now 1am, and i'm thinking about packing. I have to head to the airport in 4 hours. Ouch. AceSoftech is a Kolkata based leading web designing. Shopping is such website whi...

Charlotte in Africa: April 2007
http://charlotte-in-africa.blogspot.com/2007_04_01_archive.html
Thursday, April 26, 2007. I'm in Maputo doing some work for ICEIDA, drafting their annual and biannual reports. My decision to come here was partly financial, but also was a way to prevent insanity. I didn't know how i would cope being in Maganja without Stebba, and thought breaking up the last couple of months would ensure i would have something to look forward to if it was difficult. I've been in Maputo for over 10 days and still haven't begun on the reports as no one in the office has started their se...

Charlotte in Africa: November 2006
http://charlotte-in-africa.blogspot.com/2006_11_01_archive.html
Saturday, November 18, 2006. Life and Death in Maganja. The cockerels Adelson bought were subsequently left closed in an outhouse for a week 'to accustom them to their new surroundings' and a few days ago were killed, having never been let out. They are now in the freezer. You know I'm not precious about animals, but i did feel that this was a bit unfair. We're in the process of buying a house and we're writing a proposal for a new women's project in the district(more about that next time). Even though w...

Charlotte in Africa: May 2008
http://charlotte-in-africa.blogspot.com/2008_05_01_archive.html
Thursday, May 29, 2008. Alfred and Agnes Memorial Orphanage. I arrived in Liberia on Monday afternoon after a long and uncomfortable flight via Kenya and Ghana. It's very tropical here, beautiful, green and humid in the countryside and Monrovia, the capital, is in poor condition - dirty, chaotic with destroyed buildings, serving as a stark reminder that this country is only just out of a long and brutal civil war. They are a dedicated trio and deserve all the help they can get. Wednesday, May 21, 2008.

Charlotte in Africa: September 2006
http://charlotte-in-africa.blogspot.com/2006_09_01_archive.html
Friday, September 29, 2006. My immediate impression of Dubai was that it was very much like Houston, probably due to the climate, huge cars and modernity. Although the summer is over, it was still 40 degrees and very humid (85% humidity the day before I arrived). In Dubai you are constantly in an airconditioned bubble, cars/malls/etc, and i don't think i spent more than 30 seconds out of doors. Of course resulting in a sore throat within 20 minutes of arriving. Wednesday, September 27, 2006. Collapse: Ho...

Charlotte in Africa: October 2006
http://charlotte-in-africa.blogspot.com/2006_10_01_archive.html
Tuesday, October 31, 2006. We're still waiting to hear when we can leave for the provinces. Slowly getting used to the pace of things in Mozambique. I'm functioning at half speed because of the heat so it makes sense that everyone else does too. Monday, October 30, 2006. Had more drinks afterwards with Margeir and Franklin, and then stayed up until 4am packing. Not fun. If you're really lucky i'll bring back a selection of the music for your listening pleasure. Thursday, October 26, 2006. We spent the fi...
