Bit by bit - finding work (update)

So how is the work-seeking project going? I know, it looks like I've been trying to avoid the topic, distracting with pictures of rivers and pagodas. But actually, it's been going quite well. Nothing is moving fast, nothing is a sealed-deal, nothing is clear, but still, there's progress. After 2 weeks in Myanmar, and thanks to a really nice Australian guy I got to know here, yesterday I met with a local organization who's doing great work across the country, working with local communities and organizations to improve livelihoods; improving agricultural practices, encouraging small businesses, driving informal education and training, and everything else that's good. I hope to start working (voluntarily) with them very soon, on defining a very interesting (and broad!) 5-year project proposal, which should then be sponsored by a UN agency. At the same time, I'm getting a small income from some private-sector work I'm doing (we can call it "consulting"). Having some interesting work, a small income, and increasing contacts, I'd say I'm better off than I expected to be at this point.
