Happy New Year. This first blog this year of 2013 written in Cambodia (but posted in Thailand) is about working with the local people, from our hearts. There are many types of cooperation but 2 are:
Type A. Handling over the work after a few years, when they have learned the job.
Type B. Supporting the local people from the beginning. There are key people who already have ideas, "ownership" and responsibility. They are already on a small scale, "Man of Peace", leaders or ordinary people with “a going” yes.... with a zeal to do something. It is better we help/facilitate them than they help/facilitate us.
Why I believe in Type B? Well:
1) I have once again seen it working best here in Cambodia.
2) A large part of our world now running wild after globalization and they seek everything from everyone. I can see that the east is being contextualized to the west, faster than I can be contextualized to the east.
I have seen that there are, with God`s help, possible to meet and work together even when: “I want to be like the east and they wants to be like the west”.
The good thing about cooperating and trusting each other from our hearts is that it works good between all people everywhere. Not only in Cambodia but also in Sweden and yes ....... everywhere. Cooperation from our hearts has no distances.
I saw again in Cambodia that cooperation is a Heart-matter. Ingvar
