I can feel “failure” closing in around me. Ok…maybe that’s a little overly dramatic, but
I am frustrated nonetheless.
I’m leaving Swaziland
first thing in the morning and I don’t feel like I’ve accomplished much of
anything with the purse project. I
thought I had a breakthrough a few days ago.
I met a guy that I think if I had met him a month ago I’d already be
exporting purses back to the States by now.
I packaged 100 purses yesterday and spent most of the day
trying to get them to the shipping company to be weighed and measured in order
to finally get a real Export Shipping quote.
Well, that was yesterday.
And here I sit waiting for a phone call or an email with that all-important
information- perhaps the final piece of the puzzle that will let me know if this
project (at least the part I’ve been working on), is feasible.
On top of that, in spite of the fact that our amazing Media Team
has been here for over a month, I waited too late to use them fully in getting some
specific footage to make a promotional piece for the purse project. Now I’m out of time for that too.
I hate the idea of leaving here with all these loose ends. Pray about all this for me. If I don’t hear anything in the next 3 hours then
I’m finished with it. Hopefully I will have
left good information that Julie and her staff can use. Hopefully the shipping solution will work out at
a price that is practical. Hopefully we
will have enough other footage to piece something together. But right now it’s looking like I won’t be a part
of making it work.
