Since the New Year started I have been stuck in writing too many proposals. I wonder if I still have enough English left to construct a convincing and appealing proposal to the Donor. It makes it harder because it is not my forte. I believe it’s easier to convince a person face to face than in writing but then as Sri Lankan always say, “What to do?” I am the only person in the organization who can speak and write English fluently aside from the fact that I can write proposals, so there it is. Write as I could. After a looooong and tedious discussion with the team as to the kind of project they wish to implement, we finally settled and agreed to focus on one big project instead of too many small projects. Finally, after 4 drafts and 5 singlish (combination of sinhala and English discussion), (boring?) and lengthy discussions, I finished the proposal and submitted it yesterday. I think I’ve done 3 proposals in a row already. Whatta a work! Huh! Sigh…at last I am free.
Ooopsss, it seems like not yet. There is another call for proposals coming and an information conference is set. And not only that, I am to attend the said conference, huh! It seems like my role shifted without my knowledge much more my consent. I think I need some rescue here.
My Programme Manager came for a visit as part of his induction program and at the same time to get to know AKASA and assess the progress of the placement. Over all it was positive and heart warming since AKASA are all praise and pleased with VSO work. I have pointed out that a shift of my role happened and much as I am willing to do it, I also cannot ignore that our activities has been postponed indefinitely as a result of that. So before the end of the meeting, we all had an agreement that somebody will be called to take over the writing and I can evaluate and sit down for finalization. I am very happy and pleased. I slept soundly for the first time in three weeks.

i agree kapatid, i think kailangan i revise ang description ng placement to fit me rather than the other way around. hahahaha
