Addis Ababa - OK the story so far …

OK the story so far … three weeks in Addis Ababa Ethiopia (probably) February of ’17 CESO https://www.ceso-saco.com/ https://www.saco-ceso.com/ is sending me to work with the Addis Ababa Chamber of Commerce & Sectoral Associations http://www.addischamber.com
The client has confirmed and given his go-ahead  "...Sincere congratulations! I am very pleased to inform you that our client the AACCSA, has accepted your candidature for the above assignment and is expecting you as per your proposal. [...] We have to remind you that our Client may cancel an assignment even after our VA has been accepted and CESO does not have control over such situation. This is not at all frequent, but we prefer to advise you accordingly." Anna-Maria F. Dumont Recruiter, Montreal, CESO-SACO

Anticipated Outcomes
