That first charity we interviewed with. The one for who we were insufficiently islamic. Turns out they've decided they do want something from us after all.
They want to spread overseas, including the UK. Which means they want someone to take care of all the confusing, non-quran inspired paperwork in the UK...so they can send three of their people over to run it.
In return for which, they'll give a lump sum equivalent to one half of the running costs of this here refugee camp, for one year.
So basically, my job is to do some google searches, memorise and summarise UK charity law, act as their agent...and find some cheap premises to rent.
After which, their people will need some english lessons. But they haven't thought that far ahead.
Oh, and I'm to advise them on how to get accredited with "OUTSCHA" - a UN run authority that's the Better Business Bureau of charities. Except according to google, there's no such organisation. Another small detail to work out.
Edit: It turns out to be OCHA. And it seems to be easier for some companies to employ another company to employ an english-speaking researcher to read the english-language version of the relavent UN documents and summarise them in english to be translated into arabic...than to do a bit of reading in their own native language.
