Safe arrival in Bishkek

I landed early this morning in a winter beautiful Bishkek. Minus 15 centigrades and snow. But quite nice with dry air and no wind. Meeting friends and starting planning.

On route

Slowly but surely I'm on my way to Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan. Now a few hours at Istanbul International Airport, moving from one world to another.

Preparing for Kyrgyzstan

I'm fully planning for returning to Kyrgyzstan in late February. It will be nice to come back and meet nice friends. I'm planning for a follow up and to facilitate trainings in the capitol Bishkek and in Osh in Southern Kyrgyzstan. In Bishek I'll will be training community-based psychosocial support for the administrative staff at the ACT Alliance regional office. And in Osh it will be an advanced training for trainers with women and men in important community functions.

I will co-facilitate the trainings with Masha from S:t Petersburg, Russia, and with Anna, from Sweden, as a resource person. Erkingul will be our local assistant in Osh. My deployment is seconded by Church of Sweden.

and a . . .

. . . HAPPY NEW YEAR!

To all my friends

MERRY CHRISTMAS!
