It might be a bit confusing what this blog is (or rather will be). Aid In Meeting, Lions, Terje Boklund and all sorts of stuff is written all over it.

That's why I thought it'd be a good idea to show you a little film of what this whole thing is about.

But before we get there..... In 2007, yours truly, Terje Boklund, and four other wonderful students traveled to Uganda and back again. Now, we didn't exactly know what we were thrown into, but we ended up visiting a lot of Lions Clubs, learning what they were up to, and various ways in which to do aid work. Some good, some not so good. And so we returned to Norway filled with high hopes and ideas, and to do a long story short, Aid In Meeting was born in 2008. Based on our experiences from the previous summer and collaborators within Lions Club, LC Bergen Student has conjured up Aid In Meeting as a cultural exchange program for students in Norway, where Cultural Understanding, Integration, Self-development and Aid where the main elements.

Now we embark on a third journey, this time around focusing even more on the aid work. We will contribute with volunteer work in different institutions and help them carry out projects the locals themselves want to see fulfilled. We think it is vital to not only understand what is needed in development countries, but to be able to do something valuable you have to work together - to work together with those who ultimately will benefit from these projects and to make sure they are part of it, to ensure the project's long term survival.

But these are things that can be focused on in later posts, what I wanted to show you initially was this:
