FunComm

I'm more confused than ever about the idea of moving now, as last week was my first ordinary week and weekend in Livingstone for a while and life seems particularly nice. I know there have been a few posts about this experience starting to feel like normal life, but I think this is the beginning of me feeling like not every week has to be an adventure.

Having said that, it was quite exciting that for the first time in a while a lot of my colleagues were in the office, planning for a new project in schools starting next month. I've finally managed to get together a Fundraising Committee (affectionately known as FunComm) and to start work on the resource mobilisation strategy that I came here to write. We were also honored by a visit from VSO Zambia's Country Director, who spent a long time meeting with my colleagues and me and helped to see how we could improve the organisation, and then took the Livingstone volunteers out for a very nice dinner.

It was also lovely to have the first Livingstone weekend in a while, a girl-y sleepover at a friend's house was my first chance in a while to watch some movies. And any lifestyle where an ordinary Sunday stroll with friends takes you to the Zimbabwe border bridge and yet another impressive view of Victoria Falls can't be bad!
