An ordinary week



Wednesday 11/3 spent three hours with Thembi and TK discussing a change management plan for their Program. Helped them draft a letter for the Board to approve as well as the actual plan for them to present to tomorrow’s board meeting.

Thursday – email from Rosalie about an Australian student wanting to do a two week placement in a school in KZN. Left a voice message for this woman and a text message asking her to email. Spoke to Bongi who is interested in pursuing this so will visit there tomorrow. Car door handle is broken. To Al’s repairs just out of town. He will order a new handle and let me know when it is in. The car has been useful and an ideal asset for volunteer use.
Board meting went well. Monika is trying to instill financial discipline in staff and other Board members.

Friday to Intumbane. Discussed possible placement with Bongi and Clement the deputy principal. Bongi drafted a reply while I went for a walk around the school. The gardens have been planted out with winter veges. Bongi and kids were in there at 6am this morning doing this! Rest of the day a bit of a write off. I am tired and just wanted to go home and crash. Office was frantic after lunch. Lots of pressure. Spent time with JK to help him with ideas about fundraising overseas and using contacts he has. Contacted GGA as no response to email sent early in week about workshop next week.
