Day 4 - Meet my employer

Today I met my employer Lordes Mutola Foundation. The foundation was founded from Maria Mutola (http://www.mariamutola.com/) who is arguably the most famous Mozambiquen. She is ranked as the greatest female 800m runner of all-time due in part to her incredible consistency. In total she has won 9 world 800m titles including both indoor and outdoor championships. Her greatest moment, though, came at the Sydney Olympics in 2000, when Mutola finally won Olympic gold. She returned to Mozambique after her Olympic victory, huge crowds came to cheer her and a road was named after her in Maputo.

The people are all wonderful and I anticipate an enjoyable three months. In fact, they love reggae music so I'm sure we will get along ;)
