Back at VSO BF offices at 9h00 and presentation on Organisational Development i.e. what our role is as a volunteer towards our employers – we are facilitators and not experts and they explained the fine line between the two concepts. Will tell you more once I try to put it in practice but we basically “coach” our employer on how they can accomplish things but do not do it for them so it has a lasting “durable” effect – easier said than done as they also have expectations on our capacities as “doers”.
Today’s session again was a half day so some of us decided to visit the Bangr Weoogo park which is near the centre of Ouaga – a tourist attraction for sure and really nothing too fantastic, at least at this time of year (probably a lot nicer when the rains start and a little greener with flowers) – but this sign should make you laugh (translation = your piss is worth gold so use the toilets).
We took the bus to get to our destination and the cost for a one way trip is a grand 150 CFA = $0.35 to travel across the city – and surprisingly enough the bus was not overcrowded and rather comfortable so to date my preferred method of travelling in city although the wait is unpredictable – as most things are here.
We are supposed to move in to our assigned quarters on Friday – can’t wait.
