Work Updates

Hello everyone!

I realize today as I'm sitting at my desk that I haven't updated you all in a while.

I'm starting to get into the swing of things work wise and have been given a number of different jobs so far working with the projects staff. Right now my main objective is to track proposals that we are working on to ensure that they line up with specific donor wishes and that they stay on schedule. Along with this I have begun to search online and elsewhere for new sources of funding for various projects we'd like to start. So it's good that I have something now to keep me busy and I am hoping to maybe even propose some project ideas of my own assuming sources of funding present themselves. I'm thinking one area I'd really like to look into more is the possibility of starting a project focusing on street populations (health, water, sanitation, etc) both here within Kampala and in other cities where FH is currently working. FH Uganda has placed emphasis on working mainly with rural populations (because that's where funding is) but I would really like to see them expand into the city.

So... if you know of anyone who is thinking about giving a couple hundred g's to an NGO :)

And I'm also looking into the possibility of getting my creative juices flowing and working on some publicity/human interest type stories. This is heavily dependent on how busy I am with other things and if I have the opportunity to visit the field often. But publicity is another area that FH could really use a boost.

Peace,
Matt
