Back from Durban

I just arrived home in Dar from Durban and I already miss the beautiful beaches with waves that could knock you over in a second. Durban (and maybe South Africa in general) is such a paradoxical place; so many sides that some how co-exists. I’m sure, however, that if I were able to stay longer, even more sides would emerge to fill the missing puzzle pieces.

The peer exchange was an amazing experience: lots of insights to how different governments work, of how context specific public service provision has to be, of how much I would love to continue working with my current organization, of how much work in this sector fascinates and frustrates me….. (and how that was really too long of a run-on sentence).

I will try to write as much as I remember in the next few days while I attempt to sort my life out.
