Notes of a development worker in Central Asia and beyond. I no longer live in Central Asia, but am sure I will be back there in due time, and meanwhile will continue observing from a new state-side vantage point. I can be reached via e-mail (rgong[at]post.harvard.edu), and now that I finally have access to blogs, the comment section of this page or any of my posts. June 24, 2011 at 9:15 PM. March 31, 2012 at 2:05 AM. Good morning how are you? For all this I would ask you one small favour:. I am working o...

POTUS visit to Tanzania! | Nomadic Development
https://beccazsky.wordpress.com/2013/06/10/potus-visit-obama-and-power-africa
Notes of a development worker in Central Asia and beyond. Travel Guide – Shymkent/SKO. Weekend in Zanzibar →. POTUS visit to Tanzania! June 10, 2013. So, as I was gearing up for this summer internship, I was told that a “VIP visitor” would be coming and that embassy resources/cars/etc. would consequently be usurped. Turns out, that VIP visitor is POTUS (that is, President of the United States)! Obama is taking what is only his second presidential trip to Sub-Saharan Africa to launch an initiative. I̵...

https://beccazsky.wordpress.com/2013/06/30/weekend-in-zanzibar
Notes of a development worker in Central Asia and beyond. POTUS visit to Tanzania! To the Border and Back →. June 30, 2013. Last weekend, a group of friends and I went to explore Tanzania’s famous semi-autonomous region: the beautiful island of Zanzibar. Was unveiled suggesting a three-tiered government with separate Presidents and parliaments for the mainland, Zanzibar, and the union. More on modern Tanzanian history later! I cannot recommend it enough — will let photos do the rest of the talking. To th...

Swaziland) and of course Kazakh. Error...

Notes of a development worker in Central Asia and beyond. Peace Corps Language Materials →. To the Border and Back. July 17, 2013. My internship at MCC this summer has been really incredible so far. First of all, my job description has followed the Terms of Reference to a tee (when does that ever happen? To give you a taste of what types of issues we deal with at work, this post is about a trip I took at the beginning of the month to Tanga. Roadside enterprise and driver surveys]. Our interviews went ver...
