was walking around town earlier today with my ngo coleague when she mentioned to me how one of the guys she works with wasn't really pulling his weight. i.e. pushing his own responsibilities onto her, facebooking the day away, not giving her credit for work she did, etc. sound familiar? interesting to note that this kind of stuff doesn't just happen in investment banks.
its so interesting to me. never have i been so motivated to get things done in my life. earlier today, walking to the taller or workshop of some artisans i am working with, i realized that 2 years is not a lot of time. i've already been here for a month! 2 years is going to go by like that. i see the work i've done so far and i think there is a lot of potential to get things done. the only thing left to do is get the people i'm working with to be as excited as i am to get stuff done.
on that note, yesterday walking home from the medical post, i stopped by the taller of another artisan i'm working with. the last volunteer here in grocio prado got an artisan fair project going with some of the artisans on the block I live on. she left and the project died more or less. i talked to one of the artisans yesterday and he sounded like he wanted to get it going again. so i told him to talk to some of the arisans that were involved in the project. looks like he did! they ended up forming (or mejor dicho are in the process of forming) a new association. i'm going to try to get them ready for an artisan fair that will be going on for a little more than a week for the fiestas de Chincha in october. wish me luck!
buen fin de semana a todos!
