NGO Joke of the Day

Today Lee, Ann and I had a meeting with the head of the Tunisian American Association for Management Studies, which is an NGO that's undergone a drastic change over the past two years into a local social action NGO in Borj Louzir - a neighborhood not far from the white mansions of Soukra that is markedly more poor. Hopefully we'll be able to help out the organization.

Anyways, so the director of TAAMS was talking about their work after USAID pulled out of Tunisia in 1995 with the "Executive Service Corps." It's where American executives come over and offer professional insight, etc (I honestly know little about it). Lee gave a chuckle and said, "oh yeah, the 'Paunch Corps.'"

... I laughed.
