Not quite a week in the RMI & the lovely Ali is perusing a magazine on the island of Enecko. Ali arrived and is adapting to life. We took a couple of days this weekend to enjoy the fruits of her first week here by boating over to a nearly uninhabited island for some relaxation. Ali actually quickly got to work with the Marshall Islands Council of NGOs (MICNGOs) - an umbrella organization for the various NGOs here. Ali is the 1st paid Director of the organization, so there's a lot of organizing for her to do, in addition to setting the direction that MICNGOs will take over the next year. But first she has to learn how to understand the European Union grant that made her position possible - so she can get paid!
It's interesting that I'm the one that's always wanted to manage a not-for-profit organization and Ali's always been interested in education. Our roles have reversed! Or maybe we've come closer together and can take on jobs inter-changeably. You can be sure that we'll be enthousiastically giving each other advice and support.
In the next day I'll add a link to her blog - which promises to be amazing. Not only are her photographic abilities really impressive, but she's also a witty writer.
