I understand the precautions in lieu of the scale threat COVID-19 might pose in Ethiopia... however, measures of this kind will not do much by ways of keeping Corona at bay... only a very select number will completely quarantine themselves...
We were going to go to the Gerji warehouse location, to both observe, and partcipate in some more activities, had to break it off due to school closure. Trying to understand the motives, fear mongering, and blowing up the issue is not the ICS way... #ICSintern20
The level of activity in a warehouse is (quite obviously) dependent on the amount of orders.
We've had none today.
Effectively managing off time is key within this environment, and not becoming too languid... @SihamCAS@MrDRedmond@ICSAddis@ICSAddisHS#ICSintern20
Now its just a waiting game to see when our first orders arrive, and whether or not the days actvities will center more around warehouse organisation, or actual dispatching... @SihamCAS@MrDRedmond@ICSAddis@ICSAddisHS#Icsintern20
End of day two! Enjoyed some more hands on, practical work aboard our (slightly disconcerting) forklift lift labelling and keeping inventory of the many different items.
Liking the environment!

First glimpse into some bereaucracy: were just able to dispatch our first order for Black Lion Hospital, as well as learning to navigate the various batch, and storage numbers... @MrDRedmond@SihamCAS@ICSAddis@ICSAddisHS#ICSINTERN20
Slightly awkward lunch break photo, after taking some time to explore the compound, and the various wares stacked around 👀 fun fact: United Nations blue (hex #5b92e5) is an actual codexed colour... @SihamCAS@MrDRedmond#ICSINTERN20
