Mongolia - Diary of a field worker / Day 4

In Mongolia ASIA is carrying out a project with Mongolian veterinarians to counter the various diseases affecting livestock and a methodology suited to dzud resilience. ASIA's Project Manager is Anna, a 35-year-old veterinarian who has been in Mongolia since the start of the project and, through her account, describes what happens in the field.

Day 4
And now how to sum up so much information, so many opinions, often so different? I ask the Director of the Agriculture Department for help again. It is really not easy to draw conclusions, perhaps even for a determined person like her, but I receive some suggestions that may help me and, above all, I receive the assurance that ASIA will continue to have the Department’s support for the whole duration of the project.

Day 5
It is time to return, balanced on a stone warming myself like a lizard in the first morning sun, I wait for the coach to start, breathing the fresh, clean air of an early summer in the provinces. A thousand thoughts crowd in about the work of these days. I try to translate them and I think again about thewelcome I received, so warm as to be almost embarrassing: it makes their expectations of what the project (and I) can do for them seem so great that I know that in any case it will never be enough to repay it. What is certain is that I will try.
