To start off, I am so excited to be part of the Reach Lesotho Program. My name is Brian Thomsen and I am in grade 11 at John F. Ross C.V.I. I live on a hobby farm where we have miniature donkeys, among other things. My whole family loves animals and I plan on pursuing veterinary medicine as a career. Some of the things I enjoy doing include snowboarding, mountain biking, listening to classic rock, playing guitar, driving RC cars and paintball. I love science and also working with my hands. I am always building some sort of a DIY project. I think our group will do amazing things and I am glad to be a part of it. |
