Currently, Ian is working for Tearfund in London, which is an international development organization (NGO) that specializes in disaster management and poverty eradication. Ian is working in the international human resources department for this organization. Monica, has been tirelessly applying for development jobs internationally. It has been a joy to be living abroad, yet it does bring its own challenges. We have been living in temporary accommodation from month to month, which is a stretch for any person trying to plan ahead. Ahh, life in faith.
We are also preparing to go abroad to Nepal from October 13th until November 4th, where we will both be working with a UK organization (FEBA) that helps set up community development and radio projects in Nepal. Our tasks will be to consult with FEBA and the Nepali people in order to better meet their current needs (eg. health, education, agriculture, etc.) in their communities. We will be backpacking from village to village talking with Nepalis about their most pressing needs in life and recording their comments to be put in a report for FEBA and international donors. We are so grateful to have this opportunity as development consultants in tandem with one another. After we get back from Nepal there are many unknowns. No need to worry.... we do have more than a cardboard box to live in when we return! We actually have a small apartment in London. Come visit us before we are living in a mud hut somewhere else, of course mud huts are amazing too! Also we may have opportunities to continue work with Tearfund or possibly other NGOs, if we get any responses back from other development jobs we have applied for. We will keep you posted. Miss you all.
