IT'S BEEN A QUIET WEEK...
in my little corner of the world. At work, I am making good progress on the NGO Management Basics workshop and getting ideas of who we could partner with to present to those that would benefit.
I went to Pretoria during the week for a meeting, and had a chance to visit with the interim (4 days) country director, who is the acting country director in Swaziland. A very impressive man. Our new CD will be arriving in about 3 weeks but there needs to be at least one American management person on the post at all times, so he came to fill in briefly. I also had a chance to lunch and visit with my friend Jonelle who I met the first week here. Sure wished we lived closer so we could see each other more often. It's lonely in this big city.
Sad news...my friend Vicky is leaving a month earlier than expected due to an accident at the refinery. She is okay and will be flying out tomorrow. I am sad to see her go; it was fun to have her visit and travel with a bit.
Exciting news! I will be leading a Habitat for Humanity Global Village build in Guatemala March 21-29, 2015. I will be able to interview the needed 12-16 team members by Skype on evenings/weekends. I am tentatively planning to go two weeks early to do a Spanish immersion course, and to hike a volcano.
For now, I am putting together a travel schedule and plans for 9 friends who are coming in October for two weeks. Good thing I have internet in my house!
