Silly minger cont...

Ive decided I cant be bothered to go throught a day by day update, so will tell u about my work and a couple of other things...
At WUZDA (the NGO i work at) ive been doing a few things this week. Ive had a basic orientation into what they do as an organisation and been presented with their problems, chiefly a lack of money. From what i can see now my main role in assisting them will be to fundraise for them so they can continue the good work they have been doing. Ive started getting in contact with possible donors and filling out funbdraising proposal forms, so we'll see if anything comes of it, though there's lots more to do.. Ive also built them a basic website, which u can see at www.wuzda.moonfruit.com which still needs a little tweaking and i need to teach the guys in the office how to keep it updated. In terms of future work plans there is a group of development workers from Malawi, Uganda and the UK coming to Tamale for three days next week, on tuesday my ngo has a meeting with them which should be interesting and on wednesday we're going out into the rural areas to show them the work we do. Its my first time seeing the projects as well, so pretty excited! One guy at work (Alhassan) wants to study development at a UK university so im going to try and look for a scholarship for him to study. Thats enough about work for now but will keep u updated.

In terms of transport I now have my own motorbike! For any parents reading don't get worried, I have a helmet and had an intense training course (on a disused runway).

I could write lots of other stuff but they're are three other people blogging at the moment and cant be bothered to repeat what they're gonna be writing!

Thanks for reading xxx
