My Assignment in Nelspruit
I spent four weeks working with a non-profit in Nelspruit, the capital of Mpumalanga Province. This section focuses on my assignment and team activities.

I took a weekend safari to two amazing &Beyond properties in the Sabi Sands: Exeter Leadwood and Kirkman's Kamp.

In 2009 I was selected to participate in IBM's Corporate Service Corps, a program that is designed to help develop leadership skills while addressing socio-economic challenges in emerging markets.

After three months of pre-work where my team of 12 IBMers from 9 different countries learned to work as a team, learned more about our assignment, and took care of logistics, we finally met in person for the first time in Johannesburg in April.
