After two exciting years working for Katimavik, I am officially done. I stepped off the bus in Kirkland Lake yesterday at 8:40am after spending four great days with my colleagues for the last time. After handing in my office equipment and meeting with various managers at our Regional Office in Ottawa, I spent the rest of my day with Brigitte, whom I had done the Katimavik program with as a volunteer in 2005/2006. I found it appropriate to finish my Katimavik journey with someone I had started with.
These last couple of months with Katimavik were very long as we were busy shutting down four communities in North Eastern Ontario. Now that my contract is over I can start to focus on getting ready for next big adventure, my trip to South Africa. With this being my first time travelling overseas I feel a little overwhelmed right now and keep thinking that there is a lot that I'm forgetting to do/pack/research/etc. I'm sure once I start packing it will all fall into place. Just three weeks from today until I arrive in Cape Town!
I also want to say a big thank you to everyone who has supported me so far, both financially and personally. This volunteer trip would simply not be possible without you!!!
