So it's finally happening... Qedis have agreed my sabbatical and I'm off to Cameroon and Uganda for 6.5 months to work with a couple of NGOs. I'll be trying to keep blogging regularly - but am not yet certain of how much access I'll have to the web, (and also I'm not good at doing these things) so we'll see how well I do.
So a bit about my plans...
In Cameroon, I will be working with an organisation called PFPF (Partners For Productivity Foundation). They have been around for about 10 years, and currently are involved in agriculture, education, environment, healthcare and livelihoods programmes for locals in the Kupe-Muanenguba Division of the South West Province. They are based in a small town called Bangem - which will be my home for my 12 week stay in Cameroon.
At PFPF, my role will be "Training and Resource Base Project – Planning and Development Officer". From the job description, I will be helping the organisation with the projects they've currently undertaking, and also looking at how the organisation works, in terms of communications, training, staff resources etc. In reality, it will be case of seeing what's going on, and figuring out ways I can be of help!
So I'm departing on the 4th Feb, and will be leaving Cameroon for Uganda on the 28th April. In Uganda, I'll be staying in Kampala, but I'll introduce this further later in the journey... For now, it's back to ticking off my to-do list...
