Strømme foundation

Today my class visited Strømme foundation's (SF) office in Kristiansand. The staff there had many inspiring presentations. I was very fascinated of how SF cooperates with Norwegian industrial companies. It surprised me to hear about all the benefits for a company who supports SF's engagement for education and microfinance in development countries. Read more about Strømme foundation at http://strommestiftelsen.no/ . It becomes more and more important for companies to show that they are engaged in world solidarity. That is positive both for marketing and for being an attractive employer. Engaged people who care about global questions want an employer that also cares. When I apply for jobs in the future, I hope the moral and engagement of the employer will play an important role for me.

Welcome to my blog!

In October i go to Arusha, Tanzania together with Lasse (www.lasseiafrika.blogspot.com). We are students at Hald International Centre, and the internship in Tanzania is part of the programme ActNow. This blog is mainly for writing about my stay in Arusha, but I will write some posts before I go. I will write in english, because many of my friends at school are international. I am going to work with CHRISC Tanzania at the national office in Arusha. I also want the people there to be able to read my blog.

I hope to make a more african look when I go to Arusha, but for now I use Norwegian pictures because I want to use my own pictures:  Background picture: Ulvesund lighthouse in Måløy.
First picture: Me and Hera, my family's dog on Storhornet mountain.
I will appreciate comments, and questions I will appreciate even more.
