Close eyes, jump


 UN Maldives is a relatively small country office, so people work long and hard and things move fast. I've just finished my second day and my brain is bursting at the seams. 
A new colleague in Peace & Conflict told me he only started a month ago and already he's in the fold like it's been a year. He advised me not to think too hard, just jump in and 'do' - now. 

So here is my schedule of meetings for my first week:
Working on a Resource Mobilization strategy during this very fragile political time poses some serious challenges. Donors apparently have put Maldives on the list of 'watch, wait and see' before committing to much. I perhaps should not discuss the reasoning on a public blog at this time, but let's just say I'll have my work cut out for me here.
