I’ve been at the new job for 2.5 days now and my eyeballs feel like they are burning a hole in the back of my head. So many databases to learn! So many emails! But I love it, I really do! Little by little I am learning more about the job and being assigned more and more responsibilities. So here they are…
Manage, expand, and document the Micro Health Insurance Program keeping in mind the goal of one day publishing a book about it; Help manage the budget for the Central American region (El Salvador, Costa Rica & Nicaragua) and Peru; Maintain active working relationships with 12 volunteer chapters and coordinate donations of medical supplies to the clinics; Help coordinate the Ambassador program; Travel throughout the Central American region to support the staff of the various clinics during peak volunteer season.
This may not make sense to anyone and I would direct you all to the Foundation’s website except that it is in pretty bad shape right now. We are getting ready to launch a new website so I’ll let you know when it’s up.
The exciting news is that after sending me to El Salvador on the 27th, a few weeks later they are sending me to Nicaragua to help with a volunteer mission there! Managua, linda Managua!
In the meantime, I am enjoying Philadelphia and Fish Town, where Dorothy, our VERY hospitable administrative assistant is letting me stay in the garret of her row house for the next couple of weeks. Here are some interesting pictures from this unique neighborhood.
Sounds like the adventure has begun already! Love the photos. Keep them coming! My computer has been down for the past few days, but the photos you have been asking for will be up before your departure on the 27th.
