The Meeting

" In our effort to present as many voices as possible, we also take into consideration voices we may not have heard before –like our film from Greenland or our film on immigration and its impact on the African Diaspora."

Qanorooq? What's she saying? Hvá siger ho?

Ruth is in Uummannaq speaking "broken Greenlandic" with anyone who will talk to her. People are talking, correcting and most of all respecting my attempts. Thank you Uummannaq!

Ruth is making food and cleaning at a wonderful children's home in Uummannaq . If you would like to know more, please check out: http://www.bhjumq.com/UK/index.htm...

Ruth is learning new words, listening to sledgedogs howl and taking short walks. This picture was taken two days ago as on the way home. That is Uummannaq mountain in the background. Uummannaq means "something that looks like a heart"

Ruth misses her husband, her sons, her family members and friends.

Ruth is very happy and is enjoying every day, hour and minute of her stay. Home is where the heart is and Uummannaq is the home of many good and beautiful "hearts"

TRAVEL PLANS 2010

Dear All,
2010 is a new year in more ways than one! The 1st of January, I started as the Research Manager on a project on sexual health in Greenland. The project is funded by the National Science Foundation of Greenland and is a collaboration between the University of Greenland, Montana State University and Toronto University.

The project is the first of its kind in Greenland and I am truly excited about leading this projekct and making a difference in Greenland.

One of the exciting happenings is the fact that I will be travelling in and around Greenland the next 2-3 years! My first trips will be to Uummannaq and Sisimiut in February. I am looking forward to working with the wonderful people of Greenland on this project!
