A Red Cross and Red Crescent Life
The days fly by like a comet through space. Infinite fast. 
We now have the Plans of Action and it is time to make that plan happen. I come to work 09:30 and right away we have morning meeting with the SRCS state director, our contact person. Thereby we rush to office to answer communications over mail and go on to plan or execute activities. Current activities under planning and execution can be seen in the activity plan I posted in the last blog. We are driven around over an area as big as a country to meet, greet, learn, present and engage people and activities. And this is only between 0930 and 1800 Sunday to Thursday. On my own time I have Arabic training, Shotokan fighting and a constantly growing social life. And let us not forget mosquito bites, flies in the thousands and damp, damp, hot climate which makes a Norwegian quite uncomfortable all day through. 

This is my Red Cross life in Sudan. Ever since I realized how great the Red Cross/ Red Crescent  cause is I have struggled equally hard to maintain a private life in self development. When your mind and heart is caught up in a strong engaging cause or work it is easy to forget yourself. It is even easy to forget the simplest thing: Eating. So I have to really work to remember to train my body, read to replenish my mind, and spend a calm minute everyday to feel myself and have a focused and tranquil mind (And keeping a calm tranquil mind in all the suffering among the faiths around us is a challenge also). 

But do not get me wrong. LIFE IS GREAT!
