Hello everybody,

Today we are halfway through the course here on Global Platform in Nepal, which means that we have only two weeks left. Two weeks to do everything and learn everything and then leave this platform transformed into an experienced, creative, open, fun and cool volunteer. I think those of us who will not stay here in Nepal also really wants to see, hear, smell and feel every bit of this country before leaving. That is hard to do in two weeks. This weekend we will go to Pokhara and I am looking forward.

Anyway. Today’s “theme” was project-management. Using a case we had to choose a problem and create a project. We were divided into groups consisting of those who will travel to the same country after the platform. It was great working like this and knowing that it will be these people and probably also similar projects for the next three months. Through different methods like “SWOT-analysis”, “Scope Statement” and by making an action plan we ended up feeling quite prepared for making a change. Or at least try to.

It is great with tasks like these that you can bring with you and use when standing with a problem in for instance Mutur in Sri Lanka. That is where I am standing two weeks.

The electricity here in Nepal is teasing me so I am going to get up stairs and scream into my pillow, now.

Thanks for reading my thoughts

Andrea
