It was suggested by a friend that I document our African Expedition in not only photos but writing as well. So, I decided to start a new blog. For those that haven’t kept up with my facebook posts, I started a new International Assignment with Ford based in Pretoria South Africa back in July 2013. The whole family moved to a home in the Dainfern Golf Estates loca
ted in Johannesburg, South Africa’s largest city, in early August. So far, so good. The kids have are attending the American International School in Johannesburg, and enjoying it very much. Belinda has built up a strong network of friends (I’m sure no one doubted she would quickly) and is also doing volunteer work at the school and a local pre-school for disadvantaged children. I’ve been working a lot of hours trying to get up to speed on my new assignment, and learn how the Ford business is done on a Global basis. It’s been fascinating! Initially, we have committed to a 3 year assignment. From a family point of view, our goal while here is simple. Explore as much of Africa as we can, experiencing its rich cultures and diversity. From a professional point of view, the goal is to grow the Ford Business in Sub Sahara Africa, unlocking some of its huge potential for Ford. (Easy to write, harder to do!)
