Unique Training Spaces and Who's Out There?

Well, my week in Costa Rica has come to an end and on Friday I head back to DC. I was here to conduct a workshop for our NGO partners on how to use OFDA's Proposal Guidelines. The workshop was held in a casino that is connected to the boutique hotel that we're staying in. The meeting space was a card/slots room of the casino. At night it's a card playing, liquor drinking, cigarette smoking, slot playing space. During the day the card tables are removed and the slot machines are unplugged to make it a pretty decent meeting space.

Here's a picture of participants hard at work with the slot machines in the background:

The workshop went really well and the participants were active, cooperative, and fun to work with. When the participants are having fun I'm having fun and that definitely makes my job more satisfying!

I'm wondering if anyone is reading this blog - well, except for Oscar and Danielle since they already told me that they are - thanks guys! Oh, and note the new feature to the right - the "My Photos" section. I'll be adding more of my photos over the next couple of weeks.So, if you are reading the blog drop me a line every now and then. Blogs can be interactive you know. :-)

Ok, that's it for now. I have to get the rest of my food channel/HGTV cable fix before I fly back to my cable-free home.

Love, Alisia
