I should have told you before but I simply did not have time. It all went so quick.

Since 3 weeks I am in Amman, Jordan. And I will, as it looks like now, be here until the end of the year. I am working in relation to the situation in Syria and am taking care of Syrian refugees in camps in Jordan.

When I left Liberia at the end of June, I was braced for a period of rest and calm. It was wonderful to attend during two weeks the Montreux Jazz Festival early July, the first time I able to do so since seven years. Then (as I told you in my previous post) I got a message from an ex-colleague of mine who is working for the Syrian crisis in Jordan and telling me that people are needed. She asked for permission to mention me to her boss. Without being specific if he might want me to come. He did want me to come and so I am here.

I have been overwhelmed by Jordan and its people. An extraordinary place. I will write about. A new world has opened to me. A great world.
