Though perhaps not the most charismatic or gadget-enhanced lecture on ted.com, this lecture by Paul Awuah is among the most compelling talks I've sen.

Very interesting and encouraging. I think most countries could benefit from teaching people to be conscientious, responsible members of society. Maybe we should do community service as part of all our degrees here in Canada..
The point of this blog is to share my experiences and perspectives on my experiences as an OVS, the politics of my world, the wonders and tragedies of my communities, and anything else that finds its way into my average little head. Keyword: "my." The opinions expressed on this blog represent my own and not those of my employer or any organization I may be affiliated with. In addition, my thoughts and opinions change from time to time. I consider this a necessary consequence of having an open mind and a natural result of the experiences that this blog chronicles. Furthermore, I enjoy reading other peoples' blogs, and commenting on them from time to time. If you run across such comments, the opinions expressed therein also represent my own and not those of my employer or any organization I may be affiliated with, nor should you expect the views in those comments to remain static for all time. Feel free to draw your own conclusions about my formal political leanings and affiliations from the slant of those blogs, with the understanding that those conclusions are probably wrong.

Why Feu Continu?
Do you know what creation is? It is feu continu (uninterrupted fire). You simply keep on going, taking up each day from where you ceased.
Once upon a time, I graduated from the University of Alberta with a Bachelor of Arts in Political Science and Middle Eastern and African Studies. I took a student-government filled route to that BA, and then went to Africa to work for EWB Canada. I'm back in Edmonton now, fighting the good fight and writing about my thoughts on life, or something like it.
