I am currently working for a cotton company based in Zambézia province, Mozambique. I have been living in Mozambique since 2005, during which time I have worked primarily with NGOs and companies in rural agricultural projects.
I have posted photos of my work with Mozaic Upliftment Trust from the past months on my flickr.com page.

I have posted an article on different technologies that I make use of in Mozambique. This information is targeted at incoming Peace Corps Volunteers, but may be useful for others working here.
This article replaces a long-neglected PCV packing list that this site once hosted. I have swapped out most of the original items I packed, and there is such variance in PCVs’ needs and preferences that I no longer feel that my recommendations outside of the area of IT are particularly pertinent.

I have just begun my third year with Peace Corps/Mozambique and am now living in Manjacaze, a town in Gaza province. I am now working with Mozaic, a South African faith-based organization, to build the capacity of Mozambican CBOs to improve community health and food security.
I have now concluded my involvement in the JOMA Project, an HIV-prevention project promoting positive behavior change in young Mozambican men, and with Africare/Mozambique.
