Good morning,

I don´t think I qualify for the job you are advertising, but I nevertheless thought it worthwhile to reply. In brief: I have retired early from the Swedish Foreign Service (58) and been involved in developing a culturally sensitive hiv-project in Ethiopia for young people. I am a lawyer by training, took basic medical training (two years) and have been a fellow at CFIA, Harvard (intercultural communication). I am fluent in English, Spanish and French (and know some amharic).

Ever since I was ambassador in Nicaragua (and Panama, Costa Rica) 91-93 I have been longing to go back to the Caribean area. If you think I could fit in somewhere in your project please let me know and I will give it serious consideration.

Kind regards,

Lars Jonsson
