It took us 4.5 months to start a new NGO from scratch.
The Feed the Children Vice President for International Program joined us from Oklahoma.
This office locates 10 minutes from our home and in a 3 stories building containing other NGO offices. Jim bought a lots of second hand desks and tables for this office and fixed them. The room looks little dark and depressing. Jim asked me to make 6 tapestries and curtains which were enough to make me keep busy last 2 weeks.
More than 10 guests joined us. They work for ministry or other NGOs. They are very nice people and we will work together.
Jim and his boss cut the ribbon. One of my friends KAORU san, she is a nutritionist and helping Jim's project as a volunteiar and her busband who works for JAICA joined us, too.
The beautiful bouquet they brought for us added an extra touch to the ceremony !
Jim starts working in this office officially as a country director. Several people have already stopped by for applying positions.
Now he needs good staff to work with and make a good team.
I pray that "Team Campbell" is getting off the ground and expand in this country!
Me? I just devote myself as Jim's Cheer Leader and a graphic designer!
Conguratulations, Jim san and Tomoko-san!
