The past three days

I am trying to get pictures up. I will eventually but the internet is a little spotty. The picture above is outside my room.

Robin's girls are bundles of energy and don't really ever stop. Robin and I talked about my role and what I feel comfortable doing. The most important agenda item is to make chages to the program written for class, AcaciaTree Education and Community Outreach Program. She has moved toward the model outlined in the program but hasn't fully implemented it. It is a struggle to get people to adhere to a program when they sometimes are not mentally or financially able to provide food for their babies. So a lot of my job will be to work with Blessed and decide how the program needs to change to be more culturally competent as well as attainable. I will get to see how these goals can be reached when I go with Blessed to do home visits in the village.

Secondly, I need to help Robin get organized. An excel spreadsheet as well as scanning all paperwork into the computer will give her a backup system when she can't find a document when the probation officer is waiting.

Third, I think that I will be helping her with the becoming a Ugandan NGO. She has non-profit status in the U.S. not in Uganda.

Fourth, I play with babies and change them. I will follow the process of one baby for eight weeks. This will also give Robin a way to track progress. I will make a feeding chart and a way to track feeding times for each baby.

That is it in a nutshell.
