Expecting the unexpected

Today was an interesting day. Nothing went as planned, but all went well in the end. All in all we all learned alot. The teamwork was awesome. We flexed with unplanned meetings, and constant changes - and still came out on top. We also learned alot on how to approach our projects. Nothing here in Tanzania is how it would be in any of our countries, and frankly the dream is so huge here for Tanzania that we just need to jump in and make things happen - while balancing dreams with reality in a way that continue to be visionary. It is actually incredibly exciting to be a part of a pioneering and visionary growth plan. Four weeks first seems long, and then not even a blink of an eye when I think of all we could be part of.

Today was a simple work day with complex challenges, that ..if we focus on rolling with it ...worked out just fine. Lesson learned!

Missing my friends and family - but totally thrilled to be on this personal and professional adventure

  1. I am wondering about how this will permanently impact how you do business back at home. Can't imagine it won't change your perspective.

  2. I'm fascinated reading about your experiences. Back here at home folks are worried about a new "swine flu" that started in Mexico and has already spread to several US states. Surgical masks are now "in", especially for travelers. So, you're probably safer healthwise in Africa than back home ;-) Wishing you a continued excellent adventure! Debra MF
