So there isn't much to update on b/c I still haven't gotten started on a project at TASO. Its always one thing after the other. It's our third week here and either people aren't at their offices to meet us (b/c they're "out in the field", at "outreach" or "on lunch), we don't get feedack on the next steps we're supposed to take, or someone forgot to tell us a crucial step in getting a certain task and we have more work to do. Don't get me wrong. People here at TASO are very sweet and super helpful. But everyone has so much on their plate that they aren't making enough time to get us started on our project. We are trying to review files of clients to identify instances of gender based violence to compile a report and hopefully help TASO tailor their HIV/AIDS programming more to this issue. BUT, we have have issue after issue after issue and still haven't been able to get any files to start looking through them! Grrrr....its frustrating sometimes. But honestly, I am just gonna go with the flow and if they don't help me help them there's not much else I can do.
The TASO Mbale Building where I work each day!Yesterday was pretty fun bc we played volley ball with the BC girls and TASO staff...that was fun and definitely a stress reliever. I haven;t played volleyball since I was in High School! But I Still got it!
Other than that I'm trying to keep my spirits up and not think too much about all the things I miss. I have however started a mental list of all the foods I will be pigging out on once I get back. They are as follows:
1. Gladys Kinight's Chicken and Waffles (Specifically a "Midnight Train" with an "Uptown"...and scrambled eggs with cheese...look it up! lol)
2. Red Lobster Cheddar Bay Biscuits
3. Bottom of the Sea (in Philly)- King Crab Legs with Broccoli, Baked Potato, and Corn on the Cob with lots of garlic butter and Old Bay Seasoning
4. Chipotle Burritto (Baracoa, Black Beans, Rice, Mild Salsa, Corn, Lots of Cheese, Lettuce , and Guacamole)
5. My Homemade Spagetti with Spinach, Zucchini, Onions, Garlic, a touch of sugar, and lots of Cheese on it
There is more to come.....stay tuned...lol
