About Me

I am a 21 year old university student at Glendon College, York U in Toronto. I'm currently in my 3rd year of French Studies.
My passion is Africa, and it has been since I was about 8. I am of Greek-French Canadian-Native American heritage, but the first language I learned on my own initiative was Zulu. (!!)
I became fascinated with the culture, language, music, religion and hsitory of Benin many years ago, and saved up for a trip there. This took me a good 3 1/2 years, but I did it! I spent 1 month in Benin in December 2004 and I fell in love with the people and the country. I have quite a good command of Fon, the local language of the south, and I plan to move to Cotonou once I get my teaching degree and find a job in which I can encourage Beninese youth to have faith and pride in themselves. I think a lot of Western organizations give the impression that Africa is helpless and incapable of doing anything on its own, and I want to help change that.
