Hello readers. Sorry for the delay in posting.
In the past three weeks I have been to Bo and Kenema for a workshop, sat in on two days of the Special Court for Sierra Leone watching former president Tejan Kabbah testify, interviewed about a dozen people on an ongoing story on the social and environmental impact of a mining operation, played volleyball on the beach, attended a few ex-pat parties and got my wallet stolen out of my front pocket while sitting in a taxi.
I've also gained a temporary flatmate, a Torontonian who knows Maggie from the Hidden Cameras. As she prepares to leave Sierra Leone, a steady stream of people have come over to my house for lovely dinner parties and my circle of friends is growing.
I will post a few of the stories I've worked on for your reading pleasure...

Radio & TV Trainer, Journalists for Human Rights
A blog for my stay in West Africa working with Journalists For Human Rights in Takoradi, Ghana at SKYY Radio & Television News and in Freetown, Sierra Leone at the Concord Times newspaper.
Critical Viewpoint
Sara Minogue describes her negative experience working with JHR in this 'tell-all' article. To train or be trained, that is the question - but when everybody's learning, does it really matter?

Journalists for Human Rights
While in Ghana I will be working with Journalists for Human Rights, a Canadian NGO that focuses on harnessing the power of the media to combat human rights abuses. Through building the capacity of the media to report effectively on human rights issues, JHR works to pressure abusers to stop and empower victims to fight back. Check out the website at www.jhr.ca.

A Terrifying Reminder of the Dangers of Rabies
Simon Oczkowski, a 2nd year medical student and class mate of
my girlfriend, shares a fantastic tale of his experience in Kampala, Uganda working in a local hospital. Wonderfully written, Simon's article deftly describes the inherent inequities experienced with a potential rabies exposure in a developing nation.
