Bernard's day job

Hum I was just looking through the list of posts we have made over the past year and noticed I had written up a post about my job but I never posted it for everyone to see, so I guess I will post it now as it tells a bit about where I am working.
I am working with an organization that does community development, capacity building and connecting people together. Now it is not community development work as you would think of in the third world where you would help develop every piece of infrastructure but it is more focused on poverty reduction. NWAF looks at poverty reduction as a community issue, it is not something were individuals alone can be lifted out but the whole community needs to work together. This is really exciting work and it is interesting to be around. Through my work here I will become more knowledgeable about community development and how organizations in the US do it. I really expect this job to help me in the future when we will be working in an international setting, plus it is a great experience.
My actual job is computer related - I am the IT Associate, this means that I keep the computers up and running and fix all the little problems people have with their comptuers. The nice thing about this job is that I am also learning more about running a computer network and servers. This job is a great learning and growing experience for me.

You've done a fantastic job with the renovations - I was mentally taking notes on how I want to copy some of your ideas one day.
