It’s been now more or less six weeks since I left CICD and some adventures happen on the way.

Hello everyone! :)

I am writing this letter after 2 months in Malawi, Africa. First I want to say that I am really happy to be here. Malawi is amazing country with amazing people. I met a lot of new friends.

It is now almost 13 years since we started College for International Co-operation and Development. More than 700 people from 80 countries have participated in our Development Instructor courses.

As Development Instructors, we have an interest in food ... both in terms of food production, and perhaps more importantly, food security.

Here I am for the fifth time with my monthly report! It will be really short this time! Hard month! Quite tired!

The India that I saw until now I never saw in books or internet, and nobody described me, so when I arrived in India, it was a big cultural chock in different ways.

Now the DI-s at CICD can work towards a Level 5 Diploma in Management and Leadership, with the final work to be finished in Camp Future. Read more from how 3 of our DI-s are experiencing this!

A key part of the education at CICD is being involved in growing and using our own herbs, fruits and vegetables.

Atanas Bakalov, November team 2010, is now soon finishing his 6 month working with the Farmers Club and teachers Training College in Dowa,Malawi.

Hey Guys,
we are writing to You from Mozambique. We are in EPF Nametil - Escola dos Profesores do Futuro – a teachers Training College.

Every single day like this is a great challenge for me. But this is why life here is wonderful; I cannot know what will happen in the next hour or minute. I really enjoy the challenges, the new people, the totally different culture.

During that 1 year that I spent in Malawi I saw many people who were infected by HIV.

At the end of July our March&May team 2011 organised a ten days camp for young people interested in volunteering.

After I came back from Mozambique, my thoughts of the world have changed. I realized that I can not go back to work as I was planning before. I decided that I will continue to work with Humana People to People

On Sunday 15/5/11 I woke up at 6AM, far earlier than I usually do. After having had breakfast everyone was ready and excited to start off.

After finishing my training, I went to work with ADPP Bilibiza in Mozambique two times, for six months each, first as Development Instructor in 2009 and the second time as Senior Development Instructor in 2010.
