Happy New Year everyone!

So I am almost back at my desk after a wonderful holiday with my family in the UK – you maybe heard about the snow – it was amazing and turned everything into a quiet white wonderland – my family’s house is at the top of a hill and so we were stuck at the top for 4 days until we could get the cars out – I loved it but my mum was frustrated as she wanted to do last minute Christmas shopping!

I believe this will be a year of opportunity – in the Gender Leadership Programme we were talking about opportunities – often we have to make our own opportunities, ensure that we look at situations positively, look for the good angles of things that happen to us – have a positive outlook (hard sometimes I know) but it really does open up challenges and choices and we have to decide whether to take them or not.

For me personally, I have some goals for this year – practice my diving (have already done 2 dives this month), run more often and faster (I have done one 10k race in the UK this year and will be in Lumpini Park on Saturday morning running a 10k for Cancer Care) and tackle a half marathon (later in the year), climb Mount Kinabalu in Malaysia, my sister is coming to Cambodia for 2 months to work as a child care assistant and so for once she will be close by (I must make the most of her) and learn to sail – so that’s how my holidays and weekends will be spent!

So what about work – well done everyone for all you achieved over the past year – we have made so much progress – in our programmes and systems. Our priorities continue to be building programme quality and as the Regional Centre we must continue to work hard at supporting country programmes – providing the best quality support we can. I know I can rely on your hard work and commitment.

I expect us to continue to work well together as a team ,support and share and communicate – so remember, I can’t read minds – if there is something you want me to know, please tell me!

Your feedback is always welcome!

All the very best,

Sarah
