We had a ‘Farewell Party’ for two of our colleagues from Canada, who are finishing their contracts by the end of next week. Tom Coyle and Nolan Bentley are part of a group called ‘Planning Alliance’ based in Canada and were seconded to Care for its operations in Indonesia. They worked with Care in Aceh for about an year and are going back to Canada on 14th December.
Tom Coyle is an elderly and experienced engineer and my house mate. I think, he has three grown up children in Canada. Nolan also lives near by in House 12 and I also met his girl friend Hyda, when she visited him last month. Nolan wants to work for some consultancy firms in Ontario after going back to Canada.
In Banda Aceh, we live in ‘Team Houses’ consisting of 3- 4 people in each house. Each house is equipped with round the clock Security, a maid to clean and cook. The maintenance of the house will be done by the administration department of CARE. I live in ‘House 15’ with Tom from Canada and Mishael from Ruwanda. We have 4 rooms in our house, and we use one room as a guest room. Mishael brought two female puppies- Imelda and Gloria, who are little grown up now.
Some people are afraid of the dogs, and we wanted to shift them into another house near by. We brought a rope and tied it to one dog, and started taking it to the nearby house 300 meters away. Since its scared and dragging, we had to forcefully pull her till the next house. On seeing this, the other dog ran off, and never came near to us, in spite of Tom offering different varieties of food.
Before beginning of the Party, I said that the first guest will get a Chocolate. At 7:00 PM, Amos, the Construction Manager arrived with Nolan, and he got a Chocolate. There were around 50 people who came for the party, mostly from CARE. There was a small stupid fight at the end of the party at 2:30 AM, and the last contingent left at 3:00 AM.
