Homeward bound [2014-06-07]
I’m not sure how it snuck up on us, but after 4-1/2 months in Compostela we are heading back to America. The long-planned 2014 Philippines projects have been finished (or at least as much as any computer projects are ever “finished”). We will spend the next few weeks wrapping up loose ends, capturing lessons learned, and preparing a summary of the data that we captured during school evaluation visits. It is a bittersweet feeling: the joy of fulfilling Reneal IEO objectives, the anticipation of seeing home and family and friends, great hope for the use of the systems we have just installed, but all mixed with the sadness of leaving loved ones in the Philippines.
