This weekend I am going to Korca to visit a current COD (Community and Organizational Development Facilitator). People here call it C-O-D, but I am trying (not so subtly) to call us "cods". We development workers have a tendency to be rather pretentious with our titles and such. I think "facipulation" (facilitation + manipulation) is a better term for what we are supposed to actually do here. But, I really have no idea yet. This country and experience should be allowed to reveal itself naturally and "avash avash" (slowly).
