21ST. JULY 2010 UN, "HANDCRAFTING JUSTICE" AND ALBANIA.
We have just completed three busy days at UN. All the countries are finished now and most people will return home at the weekend. Albania has a lunchtime meeting tomorrow after Papua New Guinea completes their work. On Friday the Committee of experts has a closed Meeting all day so we are free.
Today, I took time out in the morning to visit Sister Maureen McGowan's great project - "Handcrafting Justice". I only wished all the group could have seen the work of the women from 22 countries. Maureen very kindly met me at the Metro and as we reached the project asked me - "Would you mind doing an 'Up close and personal' with the volunteers for about 20 minutes"? I had never heard the expression, so Maureen explained and thank God it went well. The volunteers were most interested in hearing about Albania and what is happening at the UN too. Maureen sent greetings to those she had met, mentioning Daniela especially.
Now that there is a gap this weekend I hope to finalize plans for a retreat. I'll be back on Sunday as Albania is "on" all day on Monday!
Have a good weekend!
