First Day at Work

August 23, 2010

I arrived in the morning and immediately got to work after lunch. Met lots of people relevant to my projects to just introduce myself. Participated in a meeting where they were negotiating/asking for funding. Interesting people dynamics. Definitely different than what I’ve experienced before. Now I’m super jet lagged and sleepy. Dar is very different than Kampala. I can’t wait to find out more.

Tiffany in five sentences…

Tiffany prefers to spend her days globetrotting and living out of a backpack. She is deeply intrigued, frustrated, and inspired by international development work, especially in food security, education policy, and citizen agency issues. One day, she hopes to convince the world economic system to work in favour of the marginalized and the environment. One of her identities is being a graduate from the Global Resource Systems program in the Faculty of Land and Food Systems at the University of British Columbia. She aims to write posts that will make her cringe in ten years on this blog.
