He never once complained, never once seemed frustrated. I believe the word is unflappable. For example, he hates spicy food and never said so until questioned hours after the dinner of Indian food that even I found spicy. He was probably running to the bathroom all night, granted with a smile on his face.
He and I are working out a proposal to do some training with 2-man teams (I can only assume the two of us) to portions of Africa, such as East Africa. He is based in Nairobi, Kenya, and he mentioned that we could do Nairobi, Dar es Salaam (Tanzania), Zanzibar (Tanzania), Addis Ababa (Ethiopia) and perhaps even Maputo (Mozambique), all in one go, in one two week journey. Those are all cities, by the way.
It would be wonderful from an organizational level. Aluka is a complex tool that we are hoping to increased exposure of and I don’t know of any better outreach program other than direct training. It creates a personal connection with an electronic, ambiguous resource.
On a personal level, while I relish the opportunity to see these places, I immediately asked if this could wait to next year, as it might take that long to convince Jen I would be safe. And I am really tired.
This is all speculation at this point, mind you. Just something I have been thinking about.
