Well, today is my baby sister's 63rd birthday and today she will move to the town where she will be working.
It is inland from the Caspian Sea and is a city called Salyan. It's about 4 hours south of Baku and 3 hours north of Lankaran. It is in the bend of the river Kur which travels from Armenia to the Caspian Sea. She'll be working with Access bank which is a micro finance bank. Her assignment will be organizing corporate social responsibility projects (i.e. opportunities for the branch to support community development activities) She'll also provide basic business and computer training to staff (customer service, sales, marketing,etc.) assist with english language skills through daily contact and conversation clubs and classes, assist the head office in Baku with various assignments including edits to English language documents (press releases and marketing materials) as well as share information on US business practices. This will be a very exciting opportunity to help others improve their skills and grow their future. The city of Salyan is the center of a very large agricultural area. They grow cotton, wheat, melons, vegies, etc. There is a 54373.5 hectre national park in the area.
