In May 2006, I partook in a one month trip to Peru and Ecuador, called Solidarity in Action, which is a programme run by the Campus Ministries of my school, Brock University. The objective of this trip was to learn about social justice and culture in Latin America. I went to Lima, Peru, and Guayaquil, Ecuador, along with 50 other people and the campus chaplain, where we volunteered for charity organisations. This was not a conventional holiday.

I am currently working on making a web site with pictures from my experience. I believe I promised it would be launched within the end of October – make that the end of November. I’ve spent far more time working on the design and stucture of this website than content.

Meanwhile, to learn more about Solidarity in Action, visit

Pictures from my experience are coming soon!

I’ve become a quite avid photographer since I acquired my Nikon D70 DSLR. Ask Jenna: on our roadtrip through Norway this summer, there were times we stopped every couple of kilometres because I wanted to take pictures. Believe me, there was some amazing nature there, but I think maybe I was overdoing it. My girlfriend certainly thought so, although she was too nice to say so :P The pictures I got are awesome though. Sigh, that’s another project… Eventually, and before xmas, I’ll get them onto the web.
