Today we had our strategy meeting for the next three years, which gave me a new perspective on CWS East Africa. They had never had a strategic meeting before, mainly since there were only three people in the office three years ago: Dan, the director, Andrew, for driving and logistics, and Ester, to handle all the office work. Now we have eleven full-time employees: Dan as director; Jane as assistant director; Ester for secretary work; Andrew for driving/logistics; Kiragu & Sammy for Emergency Response and Disaster Management Training; Sarah for School Safe Zones; Mary as Project Coordinator; Nancy as head Administrator; Beatrice as an Assistant Administrator; and Peter for finances. I can honestly say I’ve been impressed with all my coworkers in their capacity and devotion to their work. Praise God for an incredible expansion in our capacity to serve and empower the people in the East Africa region!
Our main thematic focus is Water, HIV/AIDS, Hunger & Poverty Alleviation, Peacebuilding & Conflict Resolution, and Durable Solutions for the Displaced. I’m excited at the overall approach we’ve taken, although we may be somewhat over ambitious in our goals. Considering we’ll probably only receive half the funding we think we need to accomplish our proposed projects, however, and I think there will still be plenty of work to do.
May God’s Kingdom Come, and may we be a part of that process.
