volunteering!
Thursday, October 13, 2005
just spent 2 days in milan, my job in indonesia is sorted out! i have signed a contract, been scared to death, warned about all the dangers i will encounter, etc. etc. i am inbetween being completely terrified and super excited.
too much stuff and i'm not quite sure i should go into details... but basically i'll be in the pidie district, northen sumatra, indonesia for 6-8 weeks starting in mid november and being basically the press officer (under the project manager's supervision) for the NGO with both the indonesian and international press, plus groups of people from the UN and the italian ministry of foreign affairs. it sounds like a lot of work but extremely interesting and if it all works out fine it will be an absolutely amazing experience...
other than that, i've met up with two ex classmates and cat, which was all a lot of fun, and am now with my aunt in turin, waiting to go back to paris tomorrow or the day after.
stuff is coming together. it's scary but good. and then next week... paris, and my english mister, and my friends. mmmh. life is sweet. :)
p.s. thanks to everybody who left a comment! it's nice to get comments. XD
Hi V, Haven't read your site in ages and ages, so just thought I would say hello. I might be in Indonesia in December, actually - if I can get the time off work and a cheapish flight from Beijing. Tom
