So there’s this board in the office. And whenever you leave on overseas missions, they put your name up there. I’ve been staring at it, willing my name to get on it, because it’s some kind of awesome to read it and see all the people coming and leaving the delegation to all sorts of fascinating places. Afghanistan, Suva, Bangladesh, Hong Kong, Geneva, Zurich and much more.
And I’m on there! Finally! I head to Bangkok today, for the first time in almost three years for an ICRC integration course. To think that I was watching that movie on DV428 about being “Lost in Liberia” and had no inkling whatsoever that one day, I’d be doing the same course. Except mine is pretty awesome and in BKK and not some woods in Ecogia, Geneva. Haha! And being in Bangkok again! I’m so excited I could scream. :D
I also got confirmed as a permanent ICRC staff and I got a cool new bag! Tee hee. For the first time in a long time, work wise, there are such good times in my heart.
Grateful, as always. Alhamdullilah.
