June in review

Wow, another month whips past. I am totally shell-shocked. I've stayed in Mozamboique to help the national office review their logistics policies and implement a training. So, I spent the month of June meeting everyone, everywhere, and learning about problems, difficulties, misunderstandings, etc. Then, more meetings to put together a training program, which culminated this week with a three day retreat and training.

It was a lot of fun, as the logistics staff from across the country got to know each other, laughed and joked together, as well as taught each other and motivated each other. The proof is, however, in the proverbial pudding, so the next month will be spent "tasting" the logistics pudding to see what recipe changes will need to be modified. As well, I am working to develop some future relief projects for the flood victims, who are still in need, even though the scope of our projects is completed. This means the next two weeks will be spent summarizing, reporting and typing excessively. Then, some travel, brainstorming and more reporting before taking off.

All this while trying to pursue a "normal" life, going out after work with my colleagues, taking time to catch a concert or cultural event if possible (there's a masked theater on this weekend), and most importantly finding time to spend with my girlfriend at the other end of a 12 hour bus ride.

In other news, I have posted a pile of pictures to Picasa, which will be my official web photo site, and I'll try to merge all other locations to there (except Friendster for all you Friendster friends). The website is http://picasaweb.google.com/csheach Enjoy the photos and I want to hear comments!!!
