I’m not good at expressing how I feel about people. I love many people, and I hate when any are gone for a long period of time. That’s about as far as I go with expressing myself.

Imagine my dismay upon learning that one of my favourite people in the world, Andrea Liew, was going to be spending a year in Guyana. Seriously, a whole year.

I am not a patient man. A year is forever.

My own selfish feelings (and silly post intros) aside, Andrea is going away for a year to help indigenous women in Guyana improve their agriculture and craft-making businesses with accounting, finance, marketing and product development. In other words, she’s making the world a better place.

Andrea is going as a volunteer of Cuso International, and we should all show her our support: Donate to Andrea & Cuso International!

She’ll be gone for a while, and my blog will be counting the days that she has spent making the world a better place.

Safe travels, Andrea. I love you, I’ll miss you, and I am tremendously proud of what you are doing.

So long (for now), and thanks for all the fish.
