new director post

HOPE Cape Town is still advertising the director’s post till the 15.2. and it is amazing to see, how many applications are in already – more than 50 and still counting. I guess it is then the art to go through all the applications, see their merits and matching points with the requirement of our organisation and then to start to shortcut and finally go into interviews. A lengthy process and done with lots of interest into details. Then at the end the organisation and it’s director must be a perfect match – so that both can together strive for excellence, good service delivery and employees who are identifying completely with the aims, the structure and the functioning of HOPE Cape Town. I press my thumb already now that we find the right match after lots of work still in front of us.

A day at the office…

A day at the office – sometimes it is important just to spend a whole day behind the desk and trying to clean up all the papers and to see virtually how the pile of papers is getting less and less on the desk. Preparation for the services next Sunday, booking accommodation and car rental for the next trip in 4 weeks time, preparing papers for the accountant, seeing that the visit of friends go well next weekend and the week after, several phone calls and not to mention all the emails – sometimes I wonder what people did before computer, email and internet were invented…  Maybe more time for sitting in the sun and enjoying the garden, the sun and the sea? Definitely less hectic and less multi-tasking.

Also on the program is finishing off work from yesterday, the senior staff meeting of HOPE Cape Town, the two AGM’s last Friday and other meetings which normally end with you having to do this and that..  Whatever the day brings to you – enjoy the little bits and pieces which make a day a great day.. 🙂

Starting packing…

Normally I start packing earliest a day before I leave the country – but this time is different. The World AIDS Awareness Expedition is only starting mid April but already today I started to collect my stuff and to try to pack it nicely. Space is an issue and this morning I tried out to pack parts of the new cloths I organised for the tour to vacuum pack – interesting, funny, but working. It reduces the space quite a bit.. good so.. Last week I went for all the necessary vaccinations – from hepatitis to yellow fever and cholera – I have it all now and lets hope that it works for me and protect my body from becoming sick. I also decided not to take Malaria prophylaxis – it does not make sense to take it for weeks. But I got a test kit to test immediately if I feel I might be bitten by a mosquito and some emergency medication to keep it at bay. The clock is ticking.. in 3 months we are already 4 days on the run…
Move the world – by watching the blog, which will be hopefully updated during my journey every day – so you can follow and be part of this expedition. And maybe the fundraising effort. We are looking for 5 000 000 people donating each 1 Euro – the money is not for supporting the expedition but projects on the 5 continents dealing with HIV/AIDS like HOPE Cape Town. So if you want to be support, information how to do it is coming soon on this blog.

Be part of a great worldwide experience – and help to move the world…
