What has Jeanette been up to?

I have been working with the two ladies who are coming to Australia to share about the work of Symbiosis. I have shown them lots of photos of both Australia and Bangladesh. Apart from the phone tower and the solar panel, which were both in Bangladesh but easily could have been Australia, they had no trouble sorting them into two groups! The differences are amazing!

On my second day they were obviously very nervous and apprehensive about all they had to learn and what they were having to face. I reassured them that I felt very much the same coming here . I said they have such beautiful hearts and a passion for Symbiosis and Bangladesh and that even if their sentences were not prefect they would get the message across. I also reassured them that slower was better so that people could understand their accents. The really imporatant things like family and faith are the same in both countries!

By day 3 of working together we were hitting the keyboard big time to get our power point written. Gratefully there is someone on staff who speaks good English, knows power point well and also know lots about what symbiosis does AND is available to help tidy up all the rough edges in the power point. His English is not prefect (whose is ?) so I will still need to do some editing.
