Mini project report

We finished our four day mini community project yesterday and I felt that it went well. Truth be told, it went real well. The goal was for us to acquire a taste of interacting and collaborate/work with people in Namibia. With only four days to do it, it did give us a taste, but when we get to our sites the process will be a more prolonged one. Despite the compactness of the exercise we were able to accomplish some meaningful work. As mentioned in prior articles my group was assigned to the Okahandja Home Based Care facility. We helped improve the computer and grant writing skills of the secretary. Also, we worked revitalizing their vegetable garden (in photo). A priority for persons with HIV/AIDS, is that of good nutrition. There is an emphasis on eating well to help the immune system as much as possible. This garden will support the facilities kitchen and serve as a demonstration garden. But when all is said and done, it was positive experience for both parties involved.
