Constantly improving

As we sit here waiting for the phone call that will change our lives forever, we read news from Armenia daily. Most of it is good: tax reforms; corrupt police being questioned, or fired; big business developments by international Armenian businessmen, in Armenia; public voicing their opinions etc.

Today I came across this article and thought it is such great news.

From memory, Orange Armenia received some bad reviews in the past for slow internet/bad coverage. But perhaps with improvements they now have the formula right.

With their investment in Armenia reaching US30 million by the end of 2011, I assume they are planning to stay.

This computer room they recently helped set up in Tavush village is an awesome initiative. Tavush village is in Tavush marz (state) in the North-Eastern corner of Armenia. Tavush marz is known for its mountain and forest scenery sprinkled with beautifully sited historic monasteries (ie absolutely beautiful). 

Two thumbs up for this project – a great way to connect villagers to the rest of the world.

Faith and patience

Today, as we come close to ‘sealing the deal’, we reflected on wether we will remember the journey when we get to the destination. It’s been seven years since the dream was born, six years since the first attempt. Five years since the second attempt.

Five years of living a ‘normal’ day to day life, with a dream coursing through our veins as we rack our brains trying to think of ways to make it happen.

Five years of wondering if the dream will ever happen, while having the faith and patience to continue to dream.   

Seven years of listening to doubters around us, of being called selfish for pursuing something we’re passionate about, something we believe in. (we also have family and close friends who have shown nothing but support).

When the belief is so strong, you just know it’s all going to fall into place sometime, and you live every day not knowing when that ‘sometime’ will eventuate. But you just continue to go about doing what you need to do, trying different options, working on your plans, because you know soon everything will pay off because you have faith that it will.

So, now we are coming towards the end of waiting. Soon our life will change, and our children’s lives too, for the better. Soon we will be doing what we feel we were put on this earth to do.
