got back from srinagar a few days ago. feels strange to have so little to do! And i wasn't such a small cog in the whole task after all.... did manage to make some use of my skills in the end! Now all those forms are back, and as simple as they were, there are still scores of mistakes, can't even imagine what would have happened if they had not been simplified...
But i'm not happy about the way things are moving... or rather that they are not moving... time is slowly spilling into winter, and we still are not spelling out stratigies to be there at a time when the most help will be required. In all actuality our team has done exactly what we said other organisations would do..... pack up and leave in a few months. the whole point was to stay through the winter, and build up stratigies, and training amterial till feb end.... don't seem to get even a whiff of that....
and then there is the pessimism that is this a fight worth fighting.... at the end what are we really asking for? it is a natural disaster... it is a time people need to to build themselves back... is it really worth it to fight on small points?
wish i had more time.... wish i did not have to choose... wish i did not have to leave....
