As of the beginning of March I am assigned to the SUSTAIN GP Partnership. Normally, specialist assignments are carried out in Africa or other far-away places of this world, this assignment is a bit different. Until now my main tasks have been in the United States and from the head office in Hoofddorp.

The SUSTAIN GP project is a Partnership with a number of NGO’s (Non- Governmental Organisations), Logistics providers and Consultancy firms. This partnership is dedicated to providing a supply chain platform for efficient delivery of humanitarian aid and development support.

That's almost a week since we returned from our trip to Gambia and my emotions are still very rooted in my mind.

I can still us see off the plane when we arrived, we wondered what we would all live like experiences during this week. While waiting for our luggage, a man came to me and he wonder if this was my first trip to Gambia, I said yes and he said his African accent "welcome in The Gambia, once you set foot in Gambia Never again you will be able to leave, your soul will always be here, "I think he is right, one week I went back home and I'm still there in Gambia.

Before the departure I promised you all that I would keep you posted via this blog about my experiences in The Gambia. Obviously I failed to do so, there are several reasons why I didn’t blog in The Gambia, the internet connection was from time to time quite dodgy, the day program was fairly busy, but the main reason was the intensity of the trip, not that I’m complaining, but rather working on my blog in the evening I choose to talk to my fellow field trippers or the amazing crew of The Roc Height Lodge, like Jerry, Landing, Marco, Lani or Ballad.

An amazing time we had in The Gambia

I’m aware this may sound like an Academy Award acceptance speech, but I would like to thank a couple of people (don’t worry I won’t get too religious, sentimental, etc), in random order:

What to expect, what to prepare, what.... So many questions floating through my head before the big departure to The Gambia.  How was I to know that this country was going to give me a once in a lifetime experience on so much levels. 

Arriving at the airport it was allready clear to me that my feelings were simular to those of my fellow travellers.  We talked about our expectations, our concerns and so much more. No doubt, this great bunch of people were about to become friends for life.
