Today was a bit frustrating. Struggling with language barriers. My french has progressed from non-existant to embarassing and my creole is still non-existant. Struggling with waiting for funds to arrive and for goods to get through customs. Struggling to wait for other people to do things that are required before you can move on.
But we'll get there.
On a brighter note I spent some time this afternoon with people from the Humanitarian Logistics Centre at Georgia Tech. They are interested in the registration and scanning system that The Salvation Army have pioneered in this disaster to assist with our distributions to beneficiaries. It is a pioneering system. Good to speak to them, and perhaps it will help many others in the future.
Keep struggling Brad, people are transformed as a result of what you do and who you are. Isn't it fantastic that we always get as much, if not more, out of these IES experiences than we can ever hope to give!
ReplyDeleteSounds to me that in a frustrating day, for others you made it a very productive day with sharing something of a resource available to you - well done mate! Keep up the tremendous work and know you are in our prayers too. Rich blessings to ya!
