Goals for Africa
7th September 2006
It is always good to have goals. Here are my goals for my time
here in Uganda.
A Car for Travis
Travis, the head of MACRO,
is forever organising transport for himself and volunteers. Our village
trips are inevitably delayed as Travis frantically tries to arrange
a car for us. Sometimes he manages to hire one. Sometimes he
manages to borrow one. Sometimes we have to settle for public
transport.
MACRO needs a car. No two ways about
it. Leslie suggested several
organisations to me that are in the business of donating cars. I
will do my best to get Travis one before I go.
It it interesting to note how this goal
compares to this saga.
Let's apply my Best Practice Volunteerism
questions to this goal.
- Would this of happened if I wasn't here?
It might have, but it's doubtful. My being here for six
months makes attaining this goal a real possibility.
- Will this continue to happen when I am gone?
Yep. If I get the car, then MACRO will get years after
years of good use from it.
Goals should always be specific and measurable. So, if I am to achieve
this goal by the time I leave, then the following needs to be in place:
- MACRO has a car
Pretty simple really. If MACRO does not have a goal by the
time I leave then I would of not obtained my goal.

This project is a big 'un and gets its own page.
Other goals may be added at a
future date.
