c'kemi grupi?

perpara ca ditesh po flisja me nje anetar te ALBSES. Ne muhabet e siper po
diskutonim se si shumica e studenteve aktive ne liste dhe ne aktivitetet
tona jane ne Boston, Massachussetts. Gjithashtu mu sugjerua qe kapituj te
tjere te hapeshin ne qytete/shtete te tjera kur kishte 5 ose me teper
shqiptare. :) (ose nje numer te konsiderueshem) Une mendova qe kjo ishte
nje ide e shkelqyer, por gjithashtu mendova qe studentat shqiptare te
atyre qyteteve duhet te merrnin vete iniciativen dhe te fillonin nje
kapitull.

Shume nga ju rrezik nuk e keni menduar kete opsion, por une do ju
inkurajoja te benit dicka te tille ne qytetet tuaja pasi kapitulli i
Bostonit eshte ende i ri dhe nuk ka pothuajse fare mundesi te organizoje
festa ose evenimente te tjera ne qytete jashte Bostonit.

Me larg akoma ne te ardhmen do ishte fantastike sikur gjithe keto kapituj
ne shtete te ndryshme te mblidheshin nen nje organizate te quajtur ALBSA.
(Ne faktikisht jemi ALBSA - Massachusetts Chapter) por mq. jemi te vetem e
quajme veten thjesht ALBSA.

Sigurisht juve jeni shume te mirepritur te jeni pjese e Massachusetts
Chapter :), por nje perhapje ne qytete te tjera do i jepte shume te teper
fuqi nje organizate studentore shqiptare jo vetem per aktivitete te
ndryshme por edhe si fuqi lobiste ne Amerike per Shqiperine.

Tani po e mbyll. Ju lutem me kontaktoni mua ose anetare te tjere ne Boston
nq. doni te hapni kapituj ne qytetin tuaj dhe keni nevoje per ndihme,
keshilla etj.

gjithe te mirat,
eriola.

Kosova Training Initiative

The Kosova-based team of epc EUROPEAN PROJECT CONSULTANTS has developed
a "Kosova Training Initiative" in order to meet the needs of NGOs
active in reconstruction and development assistance. In the near
future, local staff has to get able to work by itself. Many employees
should get the skills to be trainers themselves.

 Available Training Modules are

 1. Self-Organisation of the Community
 2. Micro-Enterprise Training
 3. SME Training
 4. Management Training for Kosova Corporations
 5. Global Economic Training
 6. Train the Trainer

 We have mobilised our 25 years of experience in business training
around  the world. Especially, Kosova expatriates will be asked to
bring their  theoretical and practical management know-how into the
region. There are  many executive employees, independent business
people, freelance professionals and successful corporate managers who
have yet agreed to  participate as guest speakers, resource persons or
trainers.

Please see our Website http://www.epc-eu.com for more.

Please let us know if we can be of service to your projects by
realising a training soon.

Sincerely yours,

Hans-Gerd Spelleken

RE: USAID position.

BIG TIP:  if you make the first cut and they ask for a phone interview, READ
THE USAID WEB SITE ON JUSTICE AND HUMAN RIGHTS.  All the stuff they want you
to say is on that site and available on the web.  You don't have to live by
it once you get here, but it really helps to know what they are looking for.

There is also a job on the USAID/Honduras running the housing projects.  I am
doing that right now and would be happy to speak to people about this one as
well.
