Since college, i have been traveling back and forth in between north-america and the world.. mostly West Africa. Highest interest in intercultural cooperation, north-south relationaships, and the developement of African Nations. Can't really stand being in the same place for more than 6 months except maybe in Africa. Love doing photo/film documentaries. I was now offered the incredible opportunity to run CLCWA for TIG and i am so very greatful, such an experience! I have never loved my situation as i love the one i have right now, living and working in West Africa, with all my friends and an awesome, very challenging project. I live and coordinate from Mali. Still trying to figure out exactly what really motivates me to do what i do, and what i am trying to obtain by doing it. Not an easy question to ask yourself but i think it is of the highest importance in pursuing your life purpose. Only when you think you have pinpointed that reasons is when you realize its pretty superficial and often sad. I think not enough people actually stop and think about why they do what they do, the real cause, because they are so brainwashed by what society wants them to be, and so busy living the lie. *The futur will be green, or not at all. This truth lies at the heart of human kind's most pressing challenge: to learn to live in harmony with the Earth on a genuinely sustainable basis* -Sir Jonathan Porrit ***Belief without action is the ruin of the soul*** -Edward Abbey
