We travel to Wa to help Dorien (new Management Support Officer) and Joanne (new-ish Teacher Support Officer - arrived in February) with next steps on the organisational development of GES in Wa Municipal. I met Dorien (dark T-shirt) in Accra ealier this month. My main contact with Joanne (light T-shirt) was answering some of her 'what to bring ' questions on VSO's online forum in January.The meeting is at the VSO house in Wa where I've stayed in October& November with Haydn and Linda, who came out with us in September 2009 for a 6-month stint and competed the Wa Municipal Organisation AssessmentWe work out what they need to know, which gives us an agenda - that expands a little during the day.Among other things, we work through next steps, and getting access to the OD resources online. This is a good opportunity for them to work together on what they will take into a discussion with the Director.We treat ourselves to a night out at the best hotel in Upper West, the Wa Uplands Motel. Clockwsie from my empty chair it's Laura, Joanne, Greg (short-term Secure Livelihoods volunteer just about to leave), Dorien, Patricia and Charlotte.
