blue_lotus13I've been sitting and waiting for this news all week and it's nearly driven me INSANE.
Here's the good news- I'm going on a two week trip to the Philippines.
How- CCA, the organization that hired me as an intern, runs an annual study tour each year. This year's trip will consist of exploring rural cooperatives. The group usually takes about 10 people, plus a journalist and a CCA staff member.
When I heard about this, I immediately emailed my old boss, John, and asked him if there were any journalists applying for the position. He told me that the regular journalist had backed out and that I should apply.
So I had been waiting to hear for about a month. This week, the trip leader called me and told me that she really wanted to hire me and take me along on the trip, but there were certain pressures that required them to hire internally. However, today, she called me back and told me that I have been accepted.
I will fly to Vancouver on January 26 and will spend 2 days there before heading to Manila. From Manila, I will travel to the north islands where I will tour various coops including a deep sea fishing coop, a seed coop and various rural coops. My background in rural development, writing and overseas travel made me an ideal candidate, I think.
As part of my role, I'm expected to freelance as many pieces as possible.
The whole trip is paid for, except for my shots.
I will return to Canada on February 11.
