Four weeks of our assignment have flown at an unexpected pace. As #ibmcsc Chile 5 teams make final presentations to the client (after 2 days of nation wide Tsunami alerts), it was filled with mixed feeling, one of being at a logical point along with a feeling that its over this soon.
On Friday, all client teams were together and so were the teams for closure meeting.for one last time. Yes all will be in touch, including our clients, but not doing the same work. All of us head back to our day jobs, with new experiences and yearning to apply these. Teams would in parallel be eager to track progress on projects each of us were involved in to see how far they go.
As we move on, towards the fag end of our stay in Puerto Montt, am reminder of set of footsteps we saw in the first week, conveying a story of their own. We now head our way, leaving a little behind, which we hope will make some difference.
Back to the business of the day, Final presentations were done and then Mr Aldo (President of Sinergias) took us for a nice Peruvian Lunch. He has been a great support to two of the teams on this assignment all through the four weeks, even staying with us till late along with Marcia when the first Tsunami alert was there. He has a grand vision and passion to get things moving. Sure, he gets all the right support to make a difference not just to Puerto Montt, but to Chile, region and world at large.
Back to lunch, it was a nice Peruvian restaurant, and true to his way Aldo was helping us with Menu and recommending items. Food was very nice.
This was followed by part of the team heading for a boat ride, while other for shopping etc. Zuzana's birthday is tomorrow and as folks will be leaving out starting in morning, team celebrations kicked off too.
As team retreated with Good Byes, it was time to start our return to bases, some of us will definitely be able to meet with each other, but given the geographical disbursement of team, may not be possible, but will remain connected. Some folks are awaiting to head home tomorrow, while others are on their way to a short vacation. Am heading to Santiago for 5 more days and then back to base. Will update with events in Santiago as well.
