This class makes my head spin. There is just so much I want to do that I can not juggle it all when I sit in this class. They talk about how to lead and govern successfull non profit enterprises. And I know I should have done this course last semester so that I would have had time to implement the ideas I have during class. Resources, building capacity, measuring your performance, aligning your goals with your strategy. And my head spins... I do charts, I take notes. Totally unrelated with the case but typically arising from it. Do I build a business plan, ask fundraising to build capacity and then hire people. Or should I hire first, and then fundraise? Can I afford to loose 6 months of my attention with so many urgent projects on the ground needing my attention? When will I find someone that can replicate half my passion, my time and my ideas? My mum is strained on Admin stuff, I am in School, the Nuns are over stretched by life in general and claim there are no good people to help them out. How do I get those people, how do I pay them, where do I find them, what should I do? And my head still spins...
Yesterday the internet in Argentina did not cooperate so no update. The day in Mendoza was great, with the nice and small family Vineyard of Altos de Hormigas being one of my favourites. They were very nice and the Malbec reserva the one that finally convinced me to like Malbec! We still had one more vineyard to go, Familia Zucatti, where we had a great lunch but the tours was already too much, we prefered to walk around on our own. But again, very different and very worth it! Today, we added Tevia to the group (after she came in my room at 5am) and repeated the Cemeterio since Tev and Shilps had not seen it, and then Malba. Surprise, surprise. Buenos Aires is not a small city but we still managed to run into Nitin and Ted in the Museum! We had a nice lunch with them and went for some more sightseeing in the afternoon. We went to Plaza de Mayo where the Casa Rosa is, walked down Calle Florida, the shopping street and up to Plaza San Martn for an excellent night view of the city. No
