WHO AM I?

I'm what you would call an idealist and dreamer, but I would say am also completely grounded and an eternal pessimist. I have traveled the world a bit and am now working with an organization called TOCaDI, a local grassroots organization in northern Botswana. I will be working alongside a local staff in community health promotion, specifically for TB and HIV/AIDS.
