Off to Botswana
Posted by Jeff Large on January 18th, 2010
Hi,
My name is Jeff Large, and I’ve almost completed my management degree from the University of Lethbridge, and will graduate upon my return from Botswana. I’ve traveled outside of Canada, to New Zealand and Australia, and I’m very excited to be going to Africa.
I currently volunteer with Big Brothers, and have done so for the past 2 years. I’ve enjoyed working with the kids on various projects, and hope to continue this work in Botswana with the youth programs. I’m majoring in Human Resources and Labor Relations, and this opportunity will be a great way to learn and experience global issues. It will also be a great way to apply some of the skills I have learned and developed in the classroom. I enjoy hiking and most outdoor activities, so I hope I have the chance to explore while working at the predator reserve. Another interest of mine is cooking, and I can’t wait to try some of the local foods.
I chose to apply for the position in Botswana because it will be such a different living and work setting from anything I will experience here in Canada. I’m excited to meet all the other volunteers, and get started with work.
