Humour -essential to keep my sanity.

Frumos, mi-a placut si onestitatea si curajul dar si lectia. Munca cu prejudecatile noastre nu se termina niciodata!
I admire your work
I read your article “Why I quit my NGO” and I just wanted to say; it really struck a cord! I am currently working in an NGO with several offices around the world (I’m from, as well as based in Amman, Jordan). I was wondering whether there is a way for us to discuss these matters further, as I really am at a cross-roads at the moment! A *huge* part of me wants to quit; for several reasons (many of which were listed in your article); but a small, quiet voice is trying to convince me otherwise. While I realize this is an obscenely selfish request; would it be possible for us to chat?
Either way; I admire your work, and your courage! May there be more people as hard-working and honest as you!
write to me at v.nicolae@diplomacy.edu – thanks for reading me

Sunteți un om deosebit și mi-e extrem de greu sa înțeleg ce căutați, mai ales pentru atât de puțin timp, în administratie. Sa va gândiți, va rog, că nu va salvați doar pe dumneavoastră prin umor, ci îi ajutați și pe cei ce au realizat târziu ca și-au irosit viața în sistem (nu mi a picat bine ceea ce ați scris). Și sa mai știți ca lumea vrea sa lucreze cu dumneavoastră. ..Doar ca abordarea dumneavoastră ridica oarecum dificultăți întrucât sunteți un personaj extrem de rar (în sistem) cum am mai spus :)) seara buna!
Multumesc 🙂
Dear Mr. Nicolae,
my name is Carlotta Pervilli, I’m an italian student of journalism at the University of Parma (Italy). I’m working on a docu-film about Roma and Sinti with two other colleagues. We will partecipate at Morrione’s Prize, an important journalist prize in Italy. Would it be possible to have an interview with you about this issue? Thank you four attention.
Best regards,
Carlotta Pervilli

Sigur sunteti unul din oamenii fericiti la finalul zilei.
Nu am spus nicicand ca nu sunt oameni dedicati care lucreaza in ONG-urile rome. Ceea ce spun este ca societatea civila roma ( si nu numai) are probleme serioase care trebuiesc discutate.
Poate va treziti la realitate: http://teoria001.blogspot.ro/2015/11/baza-teoretica.html
