I have been quiet for a few weeks, because my wife Mary came for a short visit and we used the opportunity to relax in a nice resort on the island of Baru just outside of Cartagena. We spent three days at the resort, two days in the old historic city of Cartagena and three days in Bogota.
Now it is back to work again for both of us, for Mary with her real estate business in Niagara and for me with the EFE program here in Colombia. In Cartagena we bought a few "Panama hats" for our son Mark and his three room-mates and Mary dropped the hats off already (Mark is on the right):
During the coming weeks I have meetings with my SENA colleagues and with the local CIDA staff. Lots of planning for the upcoming months of activities. I will also host one of my Canadian college colleagues, Patricia Bowron of College of the Rockies, for a few days of meetings in Bogota. In early May two SENA colleagues will attend a conference in Ottawa on small scale mining combined with a college visit in northern Quebec. In early June I will bring two other SENA colleagues with me to the annual ACCC conference (this year in Penticton, Okanagan Valley, BC), also combined with a few college visits in that province. In late June we have again visits to our project pilot communities in the south of the Bolivar province and the north-east of the Antioquia province scheduled...
More updates and posts in May.
