Downtown Oslo....

We have now finished the preparation course with the Fredskorpset. I have two days left to think about what I will do on monday, and where I will be going. I am exited and happy, but also nervious. Fortunately for me, I know where I will go, and I know who I will be working with. I know what awaits me. Still I am still in some kind of denial and I will probably not realise it before standing at the Oslo airport(Gardemoen).

Back to this week....
We have talked about different things and had interesting and not so interesting lectures. We have had the pleasure of meeting a psycologist(to talk about mental health vrs culture shock), a doctor(to talk about scary bugs, scary flies, diarea(shitty subject), sexual transmitted diseases and that these things will only kill you in 1% of the cases, and going into a car without safety belts will probably be a bigger risk) a media responsable from bistandsnemda(who did a really good job actually managing to kep my motivation up a wednesday morning), the BOSS of fredskorpset and other interesting people.
We have also discussed a lot, learned about development, about fredskorpset and more.

I have also recieved news from the office in Betlehem. They have done a good job informing us and keeping in touch with us. I now know more or less what my tasks will be like.I will help with the campaigns they organize, write raports and webpublish from these campaigns, help to create the calender, activities with the children and also assist at the office. I am very pleased with these tasks, and I think I will gain much experience.

At the fredskorpset course they also encouraged us to write to the media about our "story" so maybe we will do that as well.
