On the road....

After South Sudan, after Jordan, I took on a new challenge... Not only professionally, but this time personal.

Since I started working with MSF my life has changed. There are many good things that have come from this change and things that have also, been less easy to deal with.

They say your 20's are the years in which you shape yourself.. My 20's are confused, upside down, different people, squares trying to fit into a circle and back into a square again.

These are my words since I start my journey with MSF and the biggest, most challenging steps I have taken in my life...

Enjoy...

And so it beings..

Hi all,

Well the time has finally come to leave Paris.. I head off tomorrow...

I collected all the mail and all bits and bobs this afternoon.. I fly to Uganda tomorrow and stay there one night (hopefully - this depends on how quickly they process my visa) then onto Juba (capital of South Sudan) then onto Awiel...

Given I go via Brussels this means that in 2 weeks I will have done several countries and several planes.. From what I hear they get smaller each step...

Thanks for the emails and sorry I haven`t had time to reply to them all.. It is great to hear from you though so keep them coming..

NOTe - I`ve lost quite a few mail address so please email me so I have them again.. I think the zombiness in the days prior to my departure saw me loosing my senses and I got to happy with the delete key..

Paris has been lovely.. The weather is great and thanks to the World Cup I`ve had people to talk to over beers (finally I`ve discovered where the bars live in this city)..

My days with MSF have been very interesting... My predecssor is back in Paris, hence my 7 days here, to hand over with her... I`ve taken a LOT of info about the project and my role so feel I`ve a bit better an understanding and an idea of what I`ve gotten myself into..

The project doesn`t sound easy but I believe it will be very rewarding.. I`m definitely ready to be there now.. Which is a good thing...

I think my net access will be quite limited so if you don`t get a blog or an email for the next 6 weeks don`t worry.. Just means I can`t access in the field and that I`ll have to share my pics when I take a long weekend back in the capital...

Hope all is well back hime.. Given it`s only been a week I doubt much has changed..

Lots of love

Danii xxxx
