TRAVEL BLOG AND ITINERARY

Jan and I are leaving to Ouagadougou for 5 months with Oxfam. We're both doing a development project in informatics. Jan is doing a database of the country's food supplies, while I will be doing one of all the NGO's in the country. We will also be teaching the people we will work with how to use the databases, as well as word, excel, and whatever else they might need. We're not too sure what we're getting ourselves into, but it'll definitely be a wonderful experience. Hope you'll like reading about our trip, and please leave comments! :D Marge.
