100 days are up…

…but news from the field will continue!

If you understand Swedish and want to keep following these seconded World Service workers, please check the Church of Sweden’s Web site for future news and Tweets.

Thanks again to our bloggers for their insights and comments!

Things take time...

Hi there,

Seems as if I'm the first one to take the step from micro blogging to macro blogging... I'm Samuel, and in Tweets from the field to the right I'm known as larssonsam. 

As you might have noticed from the tweets I'm one of the bloggers who haven't manage to get started yet. Hence, my first experience from this assignment is that of waiting. And the current bid is that I will have to wait another six month before I can settle down in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. 

Why so? Well, visa applications take time, and in my case new Ethiopian legislation further confuses and delays that process. So I don't know when my work permit will come, but I know that LWFs and Church of Sweden’s people is working on the case day and night!

Anyway, in the mean time I'm happy to try to answer possible questions here in the blog. Or if we just can pass time here together chatting about big and small...

Bye for now,

Samuel

We want your comments!

One of the main points of this blog is to enable a dialogue between our five colleagues in the field and you, readers of this blog. Hence the comments.

The thing is, we want to have relevant comments. "Hello, nice going!" is a relevant comment; ads for "little blue helper" pills, dating services or bootleg software are not. Hence the registration.

Yes, you need to register to comment. Sorry about the nuisance, but it's about the only way to keep the spam to a minimum.

You can register using one of your existing online ID from OpenID (Yahoo!), Google account, Wordpress, LiveJournal, etc. If you already have such an account, select it from the drop-down menu in the comments page

If you do not already have an account, please pick one link and use it to register first: it's easy and it's free!

We look forward to your contributions!
