Thoughts, experiences and adventures from life in Malawi. This summer I will begin a volunteer African Program Staff position with Engineers Without Borders (EWB) in Malawi working in Water and Sanitation. For me, this is an amazing opportunity for myself, but more importantly a chance to create opportunity for others. You can read more about our work by visiting EWB’s page Water Access in Malawi.

A Perspectives Proposal | Lyss Into Malawi
https://lyssintomalawi.wordpress.com/2011/12/23/a-perspectives-proposal
Thoughts, experiences and adventures from life in Malawi. December 23, 2011. Each year around the holiday time EWB initiates an annual holiday ‘Perspectives’ campaign that is a mixture of fundraising, outreach and awareness. People such as myself share our perspectives on why EWB’s work is important, and in turn ask for contributions to help us deliver on it. You can view my contribution here: https:/ perspectives.ewb.ca/alyssalindsay. Make promises to improve that I may or may not keep? Not too bad, eh?

To a Brilliant Summer | Tasting Palm Oil
https://tastingpalmoil.wordpress.com/2011/05/23/to-a-brilliant-summer
Annie's 2011 summer in Ghana. To a Brilliant Summer. May 23, 2011 in Thoughts and Scribbles. The background for this post is at the very end. It includes the conditions under which I wrote the post and a brief summery of what I’ve been up to during my week long stay in Toronto. I will forgive you if you skip it. The morning was chaotic –. Sights of people running up and down the stairs trying to find all their belongs. Smells of burnt toast and shampoo and dish soap in the sink. Everyone around me laughe...

Hope Floats in a Vote | Lyss Into Malawi
https://lyssintomalawi.wordpress.com/2011/05/04/hope-floats-in-a-vote
Thoughts, experiences and adventures from life in Malawi. Hope Floats in a Vote. May 4, 2011. I’ve always been a strong proponent of voting, and although during this most recent Canadian election, I was physically farther away than during past elections, my belief in the importance of this act was stronger than ever. More importantly, over just the last nine months I’ve seen a very interesting, and somewhat concerning chain of events unfold around me. They are well summed up in this article. May 4, 2011 ...

https://lyssintomalawi.wordpress.com/2011/02/04/days-like-this
Thoughts, experiences and adventures from life in Malawi. February 4, 2011. They told me there would be days like this. Days when you were up sick the whole night before, and your internet access becomes slim to none, and the meeting you were preparing for gets cancelled after you muster all your strength to make it in to the office, and you fall off your bike on the way home. And so you go to sleep with a smile, knowing that despite the highs and the lows, everything is going to be just fine. This was a...

https://lyssintomalawi.wordpress.com/2011/02/09/decisions-decisions-decisions-part-2
Thoughts, experiences and adventures from life in Malawi. Decisions, Decisions, decisions – Part 2. February 9, 2011. A couple of months ago I wrote a post. About the importance of data in decision making for a District Water Office. At that time, I was supporting the district in data collection about village water supply in the district. Well that data is all coming back now, and it’s time to move forward. The trouble is, it’s just not all that easy. Would you be able to answer just like that? To do eac...

Making Friends With Failure | Lyss Into Malawi
https://lyssintomalawi.wordpress.com/2011/01/16/making-friends-with-failure
Thoughts, experiences and adventures from life in Malawi. Making Friends With Failure. January 16, 2011. I’ve been trying, at least as much as my less than desirable internet connection will allow, to follow along with the 2011 EWB National Conference Kumvana. Twitter feed. Seeing as I can’t be there in person this year, hearing the most thought provoking ideas and thoughts through the tweets of others will have to do. And even more importantly, a site, called Admitting Failure. So, in short, I for one a...

Decisions, decisions, decisions | Lyss Into Malawi
https://lyssintomalawi.wordpress.com/2010/11/20/decisions-decisions-decisions
Thoughts, experiences and adventures from life in Malawi. Decisions, decisions, decisions. November 20, 2010. Being one of the most indecisive people I know, I find it somewhat amusing that I’m spending a large part of my time helping the district make better decisions about siting and planning of water infrastructure. It’s possible however, that it makes me just the person for this job. Well, it’s not an easy task. The chicken and the egg. We all get by with a little help from our friends. In your exper...
