Today we have reached cruising speed at USAID. I believe we are making excellent progress toward our goal and have been able to get past all the inevitable communication problems of work in another country. Now we simply need to follow through on our commitments.
Both courses are doing well. Some of the presenters are brand new but they are quickly gaining confidence. I have no doubt these courses will be valuable to USAID and they will use it again in the near future.
What amazes me is that the courses are done in English. We have people here from Hungry, Bosnia, Afghanistan, Tanzania, Guinea, India, El Salvador, and so on. Only the South Africans are learning in their native language and none of the presenters are native English speakers. Yet they are able to come together and learn. It has been interesting to hear their stories and try to understand how daily life is for them.
It has been an excellent and unique experience.
