From Touchdown to Today! Time is just flying on an amazing experience!!

Apologies for my delay in this blog! It's all thanks to a dibble of malaria and 5 million lost blogs in one dodgy internet cafe!!

A Nigerian Whirlwind: Crazy, Laid Back, Busy, Rich, Poor, Challenging, Fun

I made great friends in Nigeria and had a really good experience. It’s a country with a rich culture, full of friendly people. The work made me a lot more aware of important issues, both at home and abroad. Since returning I’ve begun volunteering with an organisation working with HIV/AIDS in Ireland. The experience also showed me the positive impact that organisations such as EIL can have, so I’ve become more involved with EIL as well. I’d recommend it to anyone.
