Here is my little cubicle in the international sector of the SENA headquarters, Around me are colleagues who work with partner organizations in different parts of the world. Below is an overview of the entire group of 15 staff in SENA International Relations:
The colleague with whom I will work mostly is Sandra and below you can see her having a short break in one of the local Juan Valdez coffee stores (the equivalent of the Canadian Tim Hortons):
This week Sandra and I started going in detail through our work-plan for the April 2013 to March 2014 budget year, as well as starting to organize logistics for field visits in the south of the Bolivar province and for a regional EFE/EPE program meeting in Lima (with colleagues of the EFE/EPE programs in Peru and Bolivia). Sandra is a lawyer and works at SENA since July 2012. Before that she worked 7 years at Colombia's Ministry of Foreign Affairs. In the SENA International Relations team she maintains all the partnerships of SENA with organizations in Canada and the USA.
One correction of an earlier blog entry: I mentioned that Bogota is at about 2,000 meters altitude. In fact, I just learned today that it is actually 2,600 meters! Just to give you an idea of what that would mean in Canada: Graham, a colleague of College of the Rockies in BC, sent me the photo below of a trip he made into the local mountains. The photo is at about 2,000 meters altitude....
Ahhh.... no snow here in Bogota though... :-)
Sorry for those of you in the cold in Canada and northern Europe... could not resist that one.
Be good all of you!
Hasta la proxima.
