Getting ready for a busy week!

I taught Emanueli and Irene more about the laptops and showed them how to navigate around. I also showed them how to navigate a financial spreadsheet and put Emanueli in charge of the budget for the rest of the summer. We have been practicing how to fill out Excel spreadsheets and they are getting pretty good at it. While I filled out participant observer forms (which will help us document observations about different places in the community), Emanueli and Irene worked together on their laptop to finish translating and refining the scholarship application. Afterwards, we worked together and brainstormed interview questions and selection criteria. We are making some great headway with the Sakina scholars program!

Typical meal: ugali (tasteless white corn and flour mixture that has the consistency of grainy bread), green bean, potato and carrot stew, rice, beans (with coconut sauce yum!), cabbage, ginger chai, bananas. Everything is so delicious!

We are visiting 5 out of the 7 secondary schools that the Sakina Scholars attend, so stay tuned all week for school profiles! I’ll probably post into the weekend to complete all of the profiles.

Vocab word of the day:
Napenda – I like
