Leave of absence update
I found out from my employer this week that they will only allow me to be away from work for 6 weeks instead of the 12 weeks I originally requested without jeopardizing my job. I am going to take the 6 weeks - it's certainly better than nothing and I'm sure I'll be able to accomplish a great deal for Double Harvest during that time period. And if I need to return at a later date for a week or two, that is an option as well.
As I mentioned, my employer was initially only going to allow me to take 4 weeks but through some discussions with different parts of my organization, they are achieving the additional weeks via a combo-utilization of an existing project manager and a business analyst to cover my job responsibilities. Yes, that was an answered prayer request! Thank you to all who continue to remember me in prayer.
I should have some info about my ability to collect support soon too - and with a shorter trip, I'll have less to raise! Stay tuned.
In the meantime, here's a photo of me from my weekend visit to Haiti in June. If you look closely at my shirt, you'll see that I am not wearing an Izod - that's a baby lizard I caught inside the Spalding's house. I think it liked me.
