New blog
I made it! I came back to Ghana in January 2007 and started working in April for the West Africa Trade Hub, a USAID-funded project. As I continue my journey from country to country in West Africa, follow me on my new blog Around West Africa.
I'm of Belgian origin. I studied a first degree in Information and Communication, specialisation written and audiovisual Journalism at the Free University of Brussels. Before I finished my masters in International Development at Bristol University (2005), I searched for months a professional experience in Africa. I was lucky to obtain a almost-one-year internship as Communication and Media Volunteer with Oxfam Great Britain in Ghana (NdlR I already volunteered in an Oxfam bookshop).
I'm based in Accra.
My objective is to get practical experience in pro-poor trade and business. I wish to to get more involved with the people.
