a.       Summary

-          There was always never looking good for “waiting” on something we don’t know when it happen to make a move. That is what we had now. But eric always said “everythings slow in here (maybe about MoU) so just wait and keep the momentum so if there “the time” come, we can go as quick as we can”. So everyday (normal workday) all project staff come and waiting on the news. Eric had make a good plan “after” MoU be sign and take a person to responsible at that job. It’s a good plan so we can use it when MoU been sign. Latino give us advise to make our waiting time “life”. He suggest us to make a training to Fr’s because theres always have a difficult way to make a communication with farmers, communication with leader (English and Indonesian language), input data and some knowledge about our project will do in farmers/field. So we had make a schedule training and this training had been doing now.

-          After eric leave, DG had come to us (27May2016) and tell about the MoU still in the ministeriu and still been check at there. DG didn’t know to what make it so long till now. Was it because the trilateral or another rules had been change? (there not only MAF but ministry of Foreign Affairs and ministerio dos Negocio Estrangeinos too to make MoU been sign). So DG just said to keep wait and its good to had a training at waiting time.
