This is my first post

This is my first message, now edited…because I’m learning all the tricks that my colleague and friend Sean Yo has taught me about blogging! I took out my original sample photo (from my 2005 China trip) and re-posted this message with some alternate photos.  They give a quick idea about me showing a photo of me as “beadle” at a University of Guelph convocation (I am the University Secretary and my office looks after university governance activities); a photo with my son, Justin, while we were on holiday last summer at the Blue Spruce (near Algonquin Park); and me while on my last international volunteer experience — in July 2007 I went to Japan to volunteer with the Asian Rural Institute (http://www.ari-edu.org/english/whatisari_e.html).
Vicki at Convocations; As University Secretary, as part of support for the University of Guelph's Board of Governors and Senate, I usually help "Beadle" at convocations.

    Hello Vicki,

    This is your French homework to be done from Malawi. Please translate to French the following sentences:

    1- Mu ma pita kuti?
    2- Mu ku funa chiyani?
    3- Ndi ku topa.
    4- Nda kondwa.
    5- Ndi ma chokera.

    Have fun!

    Hélène Fournier
