So Donkeys… Yeah About That

Today I, Kate learned about what I’ll be doing while in Mahadaga. The long and short of it is that I’ll be breaking down a yearly budget into a monthly budget with more detail to increase efficiency. I’ll also be taking an account at the Center that is kind of a junk account and organizing the information that applies to the Survival Gardens project at the Center.

In the morning the group had a tour of the medical center where we saw the administration buildings, maternity ward, dorms, and testing facilities.  The medical center is staffed completely by African men and women which was really neat to see.  After Flo finished showing us around the medical center Dale showed us around the Center for the Advancement of the Handicapped.  They have grades 1-6 for both blind and deaf students as well as serving those with physical disabilities.  Charlie was able to reconnect with Yempabou, Jerrygou, and Borema (young men he had met in the summer of 2010). 

In the afternoon the KWHR meter team of Kevin, Dave, and Dr. Fish took over our dining room table and claimed it to be their nerd cave; laying out their testing equipment and continuing to work on coding the meters.   Jean and Charlie were able to get two of three battery packs wired and working and will charge the third and final pack in the morning.  The tricycle group also met Etienne today.  He is a seven year old child who will be receiving an electric tricycle on Wednesday, more on him to come.

Good night from us and the Donkeys
