Shimmer

Last tuesday I had my end of mission presentation in Norwegian Red Cross, and it’s in a way a finalisation of my misson in Armenia. To those of you who weren’t there I have now uploaded the slides so you can hava a look at them. Be aware that this is only the slides, and it does not give you a very good impression of how my stay was. But it might be enjoyable to look at the pictures in my presentation.

I hope you enjoy it.

Youth Delegate, final presentation

This will be my last post from Armenia. I am now clearing my desk on my last day in Armenian Red Cross Youth. Everyone else has already left the office, I’m sitting alone, dreading to shut down the computer and put it in my backpack – that’s the only thing left before I’m officially finished working in Armenia. The power button.

It’s a strange feeling. I’m feeling sad. I’d like to stay longer but at the same time there are a lot of exciting projects waiting for me at home, and I’m looking forward to getting started.

Armenia has given me a lot through the last nine months, a lot of great experiences and memories. I have gotten fantastic friends, who I know I always can rely on – I have gotten a family in a way.

Things will change now, this blog will also change in the next month, it needs a new title. Even though I’m leaving Hayastan, I will still follow Armenian Red Cross closely and the Armenian society. In other words: This is not my last post about Armenia.

I like Armenia, it’s people, the mood – I’ve even come to like the traffic – which is a scary though. I have a suspicion that it’ll be a bit hard to readjust to the Norwegian systematical society. Time will show.

I will miss you Armenia – so long, and thanks for all the fish.

This is just a short clip I shot on our way to Tatev this weekend. It was a fantastic trip and we had a very good hitchhiking experience. Here is a clip from one of the trucks we rode with.
