Functioning

2011-10-24T19:49:00.000-07:00

Ive been thinking a lot about how education and the world seems to accept that different people function differently. That makes sense. I think everyone gets it. Some are good in Math, some struggle with processing, some have physical challenges, Autism, there is a plethora of disabilities, and initials that people can have: ADD, ODD, etc, etc, etc. As teachers in schools, we have been told

Sometimes you gotta take the bad with the good... or is it the good with the bad? I'm not sure how the saying goes but it seems that when things really start to roll another challenge or two sneak in there to keep things real. I read a great book the other day called The Alchemist - it talks of this young man who had taken a chance and chose a profession that was against the grain. He was very

The last post on this blog was June 2010... um yeah, a lot has changed since then. Napanda- means to climb... and that is how I define life. We always move forward, not every step is perfect and sometimes you even fall a bit ... just stop, get your balance and keep on climbing. This blog is dedicated to all the climbers out there -

Than do the same thing, another 44 hours of honest work, never be late for another month and receive the equivalency of $20 USD. Than do the same

It is going to be dry, very dry, moderate temperatures low 80s as the high and the nights will drop into the 50s.

There are so many players that I would wager I cannot even list everyone that is impacted. To be realistic I am fully aware that not all of the impact will be positive...

Here is an example of what a "dream stock" might look like. I am figuring something around 11x17 that would like sweet in a frame. I have no art talent...but quickly laid something out for people to look at. Let me know what you think.

What would the "Trip" look like?

With our email list growing I have been fielding some questions in regards to traveling to Africa in the Summer of 2009. While I currently have...um...yes...I have exactly 0...zero answers; I can add some insight with experience from our previous trips.Caveat: This is all speculation and I cannot make any promises in this regard, this is meant to be a dream building process to get people thinking

Hello PhillI hope you are doing well. I printed out the sketch plan of the IV-Hopewell from your blog site and now the whole picture is crystal clear in our mind. The local project team is as good as made up and has Alice and James, both former Hopewellians and myself. James is already setting an appointment for the project team to discus land acquisition with two potential land owners. They own

Fundraising…The Big Question?Here are some thoughts on Fundraising…as many of us know fundraising for anything is often tedious and a lot of work. In my mind that is why we need to follow the rule of SIBKIS (See it Big Keep it Simple).Large amounts of fundraising dollars are a challenge to get as people will initially get excited and than the excitement will fade. At WTW we have been very blessed

Nyama Choma

I thought I would find and share a picture of Nyama Choma today. Notice the meat in the picture...Nyama Choma can be from many different animals...however, this is most likely from a goat. When we were in Kenya the Nyama Choma was excellent...you just have to try it!

Labor: Obviously we will need people to work at the IV-Hopewell to keep things fresh and running. I will guess at some positions and someone from Kenya can give me an idea of what each of these positions should get paid to do this work.Manager-This person must be trained first in people skills and secondly in all things hospitality. While this is by no means intended to be a posh experience, we

Details!Building- Strong and safe, doesn't need to be fancy, one window and door per room. Rooms should open into hallway and not outside. Floors need to be solid! One of the things I remember from seeing some of the older classrooms at Hopewell was the cement floors falling apart within I think it was only 2 years! A floor covering such as tiling should be examined. Rooms can be semi private

Here are some initial drawings of an idea for a project for the WTW Summer 2009 Africa trip.You can see one is done completely by hand and the other has been modified in photoshop.While this is a completely new idea and one that needs to be researched extensively. There are some uique thoughts on why this would be a good idea.To build a "green" International Village (IV) in the area of Hopewell
