dear friends,
i hope all of you are doing just fine.
almost nine eventful months in the northern west bank are coming to an end - a job which one delegate is reported to have called "babysitter between the israelis and the palstinians" (jokingly). well, they are difficult babies to sit on. at least it's a compensation for having no children so far! and rarely babysitting is so intellecutally challenging like it is here...
destiny has found a white spot on the world's map for my next mission. this is what rumour has about it: it's in the desert. it's 45 degrees in summer. field trips take 8-10 days and include overnight in tents. there is no beer to be found. the fact is that it is a sub-delegation in abeche, eastern chad, on the border with sudan's darfur region. is there maybe some regret that I asked my personal manager in geneva for an operational context, adding that "living conditions are secondary"? noooo........
anyway, here is the plan for the next few weeks:
27.10. Return to Geneva, weekend in Geneva
1.11.-4.11. Course near Geneva
5.11.-4.1.05. Holidays, mainly in Switzerland
5.1.05. Departure to Chad
hope to see you soon - and if you have wondered why you have not written me for more than a year: THIS IS THE MOMENT TO DO IT :-)
