I'm Jan and I'm a rural dweller. I live in the town of Virden, in Manitoba, near the Saskatchewan border. The population is 3500, which is quite large compared to other places I have lived on the prairies, mostly in Saskatchewan. I'm 57 ... my 58th birthday will happen while we're in Guatemala. I began my working life as a social worker in Winnipeg and then studied theology at the University of Toronto. For thirty years I have worked as a minister within the United Church of Canada. When I'm not working, I love to be in the natural world. My favourite activities are wilderness canoeing, camping and swimming. I am very concerned about the health of the planet and I try to do what I can to contribute to its well-being. I read a lot, and I've had many opportunities to travel in Africa, Asia, Europe and Central America, as well as Canada. For a year I lived and worked in Kenya with my life-partner, Ron. In 2007 we participated in a Habitat build in Honduras. I'm looking forward to being part of this build along with Ron and our niece Rebecca.
