Reflections / Gedanken

Sunday evening blues..

Sunday eve in Fallersleben – and a long travel week draws to a close while another is just beginning. The last three days were intense: the last meeting of the team trying to move the world, not only alone and in 100 days but with many more supporters and with a move, which will be felt for years to come. At the same time, while I am sitting here close to Wolfsburg and trying to get my mind around safety tips for the trip, fundraising concepts and much more, at home in Cape Town we are busy to shortlist the applications for the directors post. The ability to bi-locate, to be at two different places at the same time remains wishful thinking, but would be necessary on such days. Not to forget that the administration of the “Bundesgartenschau” in Koblenz wishes urgently to have the plan for October, when we will have “our day” of AIDS awareness and prevention within the framework of the show. A whole day, the podium is ours and together with the AIDS-Hilfe Koblenz we have to fill the space months in advance.Even being at two places at the same time seems not enough.. 🙂

But moving the world requires multi-tasking – but also requires the support and the network of each and everybody. In the times of the internet this may mean to visit websites:

www.waae.de
www.hopecapetown.com
www. hopegala.de

are three of those close to my heart on this Sunday eve. Where ever you are, reading this, you can be part of a big movement, you can contribute whatever you can – in ideas, in time, in donation, in the one Euro, which we need from 5 000 000 people to make our move becomes a reality. It does not matter where you live – in Germany, in South Africa or somewhere else along the way of our expedition or far away: you have a constant invitation to join in and to spread the message of hope and future and even to be a piece of this hope for others.

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.. 🙂
