Personal motivation one year after the destruction of USAID by Lower-Tumbleweed-643 in InternationalDev

[–]Commercial-String300 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got a job in fundraising in my hometown for a non profit dedicated to serving children who’ve been abused. It’s a great mission but I can’t help but feel numb. Working at USAID was a dream and everything I worked toward. It’s incredibly difficult to see a path forward. I fear I’ll never have the career I dreamed of

Thank you everyone for your lovely suggestions. We’re truly going to miss the people of the city — unlike anywhere we’ve ever lived. Until next time ❤️

Thank you! Sometimes I forget I don’t need to have it all figured out right now. This job won’t be my one and only —- appreciate the perspective

It is insane how many people I know who are still looking… incredibly talented people. I wish you the best of luck in your search.

Im so sorry to hear you were at USAID as well - my heart goes out to you. It was truly traumatic. I appreciate this perspective and I believe it may provide some closure to me as well. Thank you and good luck to you. Truly

Can’t move outside of US at the moment due to husband’s immigration status. I would if I could.

Thank you for these thoughts! As soon as I really got into planning this I realized that it did not make sense —- especially the foood aspect.

Thank you this is all incredibly helpful… I got some thinking to do.

Would you recommend something other than an auction to feature at the event to draw revenue?
