Many greetings once again!Here I am, in front of the computer - no, not my favorite place -yet I will try to find the right words to actualize you on my activities during the last weeks.
I had been out of Tegucigalpa for more than one week, on a meeting for all Dutch JuniorExperts working in Latin America. We spent 4 days in Roatán, an extra-ordinary place (um nicht zu sagen, ordinär) to meet for work: a Carribean Island. It was crazy. We worked in an airconditioned conference room from 8 o'clock in the morning till 9 at night - or even longer - with half an hour beach per day, after lunch, with our bellies too much filled. The six ladies of us took the meeting very seriously - I hope ICCO is happy with the final report of 20 pages, full of recommentations and conclusions concerning our work here in the South.
After our trip to the Island, I stayed in San Rafael - the project where I worked 6 years ago: my first experience in Honduras. It was beautiful to be there, as always. The trees in this natural surrounding have grown - just like the boys. Some of them have left the project, lots of new faces to get to know. The educators are mostly the same, old/young people - it felt like coming home. I was very happy on monday night as we celebrated a little party: lots of dancing with desperate boys who live in a home without any girls of their age! :) Ayayay... But dancing between boy and boy was neither a problem! Better, rougher, faster! We had much fun!
On tuesday last week my beloved friend, mate and man finally arrived in San Pedro Sula . Oh - his dog might be happier than me to have him back here. We are now trying to build up our together life in Tegucigalpa... I am pleased to have somebody close to share my private life with again! Content, to be with somebody who understands well the local culture, yet actually speaking my mother language fluently. And I am lucky to feel somebody is supporting me, all dedicated to help me find my way during the upcoming year and a half. Yeah!
Today I will be writing and typing, typing and writing -as my work does not only include artistic or therapeutic activities. For example, I am expected to make an official workplan within a "logical frame." That means, the format of the document exists already - all I have to do is to make personal and professional goals fit into the strict columns and rows -adapting them to the needs of Arte Acción, of course. Uff. It costs quite some time and energy.
