One of the new aspects of my work here in Eastern Europe has been proposal writing. Unfortunately each year the schedule has caught me by surprise. Last year the need to write a proposal came unexpectedly and with about one week to write it. Vowing not to let it catch me unprepared again I scheduled a week of strategic planning into this Spring’s calendar. Only this year’s proposal schedule got bumped ahead by one month, and we were right in the middle of planning last week’s conference when we found out. This week was supposed to be our strategic planning week, but instead we’re writing a funding proposal for that yet-to-be-written strategic plan.
Yes, I’m belly-aching. I should be grateful that we are so fortunate to have donors willing to consider large gifts that enable us to do Internet ministry projects across Eastern Europe.
