While coaching a client in the Washington DC area, I had time to visit the US State Department to talk about Maldives. I'm hopeful that the incoming administration will continue to support media training projects as a way to win the hearts and minds of democracy-loving people all over the world. Topics of discussion: the Maldives Media Training project and other countries in which that type of training might be needed. I also met with a savvy program development officer in the Bureau of International Information programs. It will take some time for the new administration to get settled in and approve budgets, but I am hopeful that some opportunities will develop in the new year.

Maldives was right in the middle of the lineup of world flags, the mostly red one in the center of the picture.
