Yes, that's right folks; Toby is currently in Southeast Asia. That lucky dog!
We were both presented with the opportunity to attend the Third Global Knowledge Conference in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. However, only one of us could receive the scholarship that included airfare, hotel, and registration to the event. I decided that Toby should go and represent Enlace Quiché, since he has had fewer chances to travel than I have. He will do an excellent job networking, presenting information on a panel, and representing the organization. Hopefully he will make some good contacts and bring back applicable ideas that we can carry out here in Quiché. Maybe he'll even make a few contacts to further his future career as well!
Since Kuala Lumpur is 14 hours ahead of us here in Quiché, Toby is likely mingling right now at the conference and enjoying the various strategic coffee breaks. The Global Knowledge Partnership has organized the event, and thousands from all over the world will be attending. Toby already told me he has chatted with a South African guy, a woman from Sri Lanka, and others. Unfortunately, since this is a business trip, he doesn't have much time to do a lot of site-seeing and take advantage of his time there. However, I think he's going to do his best to see what he can, including the famous Petronas Towers that are near the conference center.
