Yesterday, Wed, we arrived from N. Kordofan after an 8 or so hours trip. We left the local office in Um Rwuaba at 7:30 am and were entering the Khartoum office at 3:30 or 4:00 pm. I spent the rest of the day answering to emails. Shibby worked on his application of the Peru visa (the issue is solved and he will be able to apply via courrier to the Cairo Consulate). I went to the hotel and worked until the football match of AC Milan vs Liverpool started (what an unfair victory for Milan!!!)
Note for Lucy: Yasir seems to have his visa already pre-approved and his docs will be sent together with Shibby's. Hamdilillah!!!
Today, well... it is the last day in the office (tomorrow, Fri, is holiday). I talked informally with Evans, demistifying the AMAP project; with Lubna (who happened to be in the office these days); with Shadia, the director of the KIS (Knowledge & Information Sharing) about PV; and with Khalid about tribal issues in the hibiscus project and other production-related questions (Mike: I've got stuff for you!).
As usual, leaving this amazing country and great team gets me in a nostalgic mood.
Tomorrow, I will work in the hotel. My plane is scheduled to leave at 3:40 am on Sat.
Hi Lucho
ReplyDeleteJust saw your special note for me! Insh'allah - all will be well and both visas will arrive. THANK YOU for helping chase Yasir's too.
