At the time of her fellowship she was pursuing her master’s degree in International Affairs at The Graduate Institute, Geneva. After her fellowship, Laura wrote: “I'm more comfortable in my skin now, and after a couple of years of wondering where I belong, I'm now sure that it's overseas in the development world. I love Burundi and I'm desperate to go back.”

And here’s DJ, the dog I live with. Photos of Nana and Brian to come, but I have my priorities straight!

And in other news, I really hate mosquitos. Especially the one that got into my sheet last night and bit me EVERYWHERE. Tonight, going crazy with the doom – mosquito genocide time!

See if you can get some skeeter guard. If you can’t find it in Burundi get it from Uchumi pharmacy in Garden City if you can get up to Kampala(or ask Emma to get it for you and drop it off next time they visit Bujumbura. It’s brilliant stuff.
