I was born in Hong Kong but somehow ended up in Chicago. I went to college in Grinnell, Iowa, but that somehow lead me to Burundi, the “Heart of Africa” (it really does look like a heart!). If all goes well, I will somehow retire to Japan and have a small tomato garden-robot.

Jefferson,
Do you know of any Kirundi/English interpreters in Chicago area? Needed for refugee medical appointments. I love your writing…very familiar, like the reader already knows you. Thanks. Susan Trillet, email@translationtoday.net
Hello Jefferson,
Until what year did you live in Hong Kong? I’m looking forward to more of your writing on Africa.
Hong Kong. Chicago. Iowa (Clark 3rd). Burundi. Well done Jeff.
