‘Ntate Katiso ‘Mota has been through a number of moves already in his time with G.R.O. Lesotho so we tracked him down to gather his thoughts on another day of moving furniture into an office larger than the last.

1) The G.R.O. Lesotho Staff recently moved into a new office - Congratulations! How was the move?

Moving to the new offices has always been what we have been expecting ever since from May, and so it was really good that we finally made it. However, it was one of the very tiring situations since only two GRO staff members were there (Me Rethabile and myself) to move all the GRO office items. We moved on a Friday and the other members had gone to an EXPO. As for the Artisans, all of them were there to share moving amongst themselves. We finally managed with the help of ‘Ntate Poka whom ‘Me Mapalesa (GRO Executive Treasurer) found for us to help with his truck to move some of the heavy staff.

2) This is not the first time G.R.O. has had to grow! How many times hasG.R.O. moved over the past year? G.R.O. Lesotho has moved three times due to growth?

G.R.O Lesotho moved from a one roomed office space to two in the past year and recently moved to a three roomed office space due to extension of programs and increase in the number of staff member. A few days after we welcomed a new Volunteer from the US Peace Corps so our expansion is nowhere near over.

3) Now that you are all moved in how does it feel? Tell us how the officeswork with Bo ‘Me (the G.R.O. Artisans) beside you now?

Being closer to everyone is one of the most exciting things. There is that spirit of oneness and working towards the same goals and objectives. ‘Bo ‘Me are feeling so good and supported while at the same time we are able to monitor one another towards pursuing good things all the time. The general feeling is really so tremendous and we can see GRO moving higher and higher.?
