The person who made all this possible

At the risk of being accused of being too emotional, I want to thank the one person who made all this possible. Who has allowed me to cut down on domestic obligations, who every year has made vacation on her own together with our children because I was in Vietnam in the small vacations like Easter and Fall vacation, and in some periods during the summer vacations also. Her understanding and support for this engagement is priceless, and that is why I always say, that the work I have contributed with is actually a mutual contribution from both my lovely wife, Else and I.

We started out in 2003 when the children were only 5 and 4 years old, with a one week trip, the week before Christmas. Coming home most of the Christmas time was used for writing an application to Danida for the 1st of January deadline. I am not complaining, because this work has given especially me so many good experiences and new friends, but that was how everything started. Well and the application was rejected. But with positive comments and a recommendation to talk to our partner in order to redesign the project and send in a new application. 3 persons from the project group did that during the summer vacation in 2014 on a 3 week trip, having talks with our partner and formulating the new application.

Thank you so much "darling" for your support and understanding, that this is what I need to do. For those who dont know us that well: I am not being mushy when using the word "darling". Actually I often refer to her as "darling". So my dear spouse for life, I linked to this  this song that might cover a little for some of my bad consciousness through the years: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R7f189Z0v0Y    .
