EWB - what do you plan to do with them? I tried getting involved with EWB, but there didn't seem to be very much for EE's outside of fund raising, and I wanted a more hands on interaction with them.
I really really want to go to Red Square!

I have been on the EWB mailing list for about 5 years now and have been to a couple of meet and greets. There is one on January 6th actually.
I am going to meet some people that have done the Africa gig for the first time on the 6th actually so I will have more information. I just think it will be a good experience for me and it will be a good way to put things in perspective and so I could finally see how good we have it here in Canada and the United States. I can pass on more info after the 6th if you would like?

The 4 months off work might be tough but the window of opportunity for me doing something like this is closing.
