Customer: Hope Children's Foundation
Start date: 5.4.2013
End date: 31.5.2013
Key accomplishments: school term 1 completed, boarding students' holiday period feeding funded (pic1), children's trust and friendship gained
Ongoing activities: study reviews and extracurriculars (handcrafts, IT) for primary 6&7 classes, farming (pic2), volunteers' home visits, office work for fundraising, volunteer requiting and visibility (pic3)
Drawbacks: loss of vehicle, resulting in usage of matatus & bodabodas to transport volunteers between home and school (total travel time ~4hrs/day)
Work load: in the beginning 10-hour days four times a week at school, now mainly office work at home and occasional visits at school
Take aways: create more effective ways of fundraising, memorize all children's names
Overall atmosphere: increasingly chill out
Other remarks: visits at Net Vocational Training Institute to meet school dropouts and teenage mothers studying hair dressing, knitting, sewing, shoe making and electrical wiring (pic4)
BONUS: If you think these beanies made by Net Institute students are cool (pic5), you can order them in different colors and designs. The price of 15000USH (4.3€) helps to fund their practical training. Interested? Send me an email.
