I've had the fortune of being at PFD as an intern for about four months now, and I'm happy to say that I'll be staying on as a Project Assistant through the summer. In the time that I have been here, headquarters has hosted two of our Country Program Directors.

My first day on the job I met Anne Johnson, our CPD for Nigeria. She has been working in our Nigeria program from its launch in 2000, and has some amazing insights to offer. My four months at PFD are nothing when compared to her 20 years of field experience! It's amazing to have the opportunity to learn from such seasoned professionals.

This week our CPD from Cambodia, Jonathan Garrett, is spending some time at headquarters. It's really interesting to get up to the minute information about what is going on the field. It's also great to hear all the little stories about our staff members there that I have yet to meet. It's an odd feeling being one of the few staff members who has yet to see our field offices and get to know the field staff, but I'm sure it will happen some day!
