Getting down to work

On Monday of this week, I waved a sad goodbye to the pcH field staff heading back to the communities of Fonbatis and Senmak and settled down in the pcH Port-au-Prince office to start the real work of drafting activity plans, budgets, and result-based management tables for the proposals. The pcH office was very quiet for most of the week. In fact, very few people were in the office on Tuesday and Wednesday because of a city-wide public transit strike (the drivers of painted pickup trucks which act as buses were protesting rising fuel prices) which made it difficult for staff to come to work.
It's definitely a change for me to go from spending 24 hours a day speaking Kreyol in the rural communities to writing English funding proposals and staying at a guest house with other North Americans. I have just over a week left of working on the funding proposals with the pcH staff here in Port-au-Prince before returning to Canada. Unfortunately, working at the office in Port-au-Prince doesn't particularly inspire me to write blog posts. Well, I still haven't been to the community of Brelly/Delis, so maybe I'll get one last adventure in yet.
