So, Monday was my first official day at the UN World Food Programme Headquarters. Laura rode the train with me to help me find my way and to be there to capture every Kodak moment.
Note: Do not try to take a picture outside of HQ at the WFP sign. Security will stop you and it will be embarrasing!
After that fiasco, I finally made it to my desk. Yes, that's right, my very own desk with a telephone that says my name and a computer that, well, kind of works. Apparently my computer has a history of not working properly and taking days to sort out. Due to the technical difficulty I spent most of my first day sitting and staring at blank, blue screen, alternating with the lovely view of McDonald's that is right outside my window.
Day 2: Still no working computer, but excited nonetheless to be a member of the WFP Youth Outreach Team, currently consisting only of myself and Graham, the Youth Outreach Coordinator. Computer or not, I was busy working on lots of projects to meet our Friday deadline to have all the content for the new version of the "Students & Teachers" section of the WFP website.
By the third day I am finally in the swing of things and fully functioning with a working computer!
I absolutely LOVE my job!
