"The people of Namibia taught me about life" - how Brian describes his time in Namibia. As a teacher in rural Africa, Brian learned about the struggles of impoverished people in the poorest, 'rich' country on earth. These days he teaches First Nations people in a small town in Labrador. Hear about Brian's love of the Namibian people, their culture and values - something that moves him to tears and will impact anyone who listens.

After graduating from the University of Prince Edward Island I volunteered with CUSO in Nigeria. In the 80s I worked with Oxfam Canada in Halifax as a development educator working across the Maritime region. In 1994 I began to work with CUSO in the Atlantic region and enjoy my current work with Cuso International.
