Tweaked

I have tweaked my case studies to include the possibilities of an HIV/AIDS Response Project in Mozambique, or Indigenous Peoples Development Project in Bolivia.  I want to get the group's opinion on which one I should do as a solo.

Dim Sum, Share Some

Over my first dim sum meal, I met with my International Project Analysis group to discuss our future.  We discussed projects and case studies we found to be interesting while munching on veggies with spicy garlic sauce, and got to know one another a little.

I proposed the case study of the kibbutz system in Israel. It's an interesting case study of gender, agriculture, and family and group dynamics. The other project I was interested in was land tenure in Thailand, since land is typically passed down in a matrilineal line, and one must live in Thailand for at least 3 years before being able to own land.
