The end of work

8/11/2012

 
Unfortunately with the cookbook project, craziness around the workshop with Nane Nane approaching, and finishing up other random things, we didn't get to go out and test our new addition to the maize sheller. Not the prettiest of solutions, but if GCS is able to test it and see that no jamming occurs with it on, it could solve the problems they've been having and start putting them back on the market. Since the company is so new, I'm hoping some of the things we did and the reports we wrote will become a solid foundation for any future volunteers/engineers that  work there. Overall it was definitely a great learning experience and I hope all of their business model plans and sales rep training proves successful, since that was the company's main focus this summer. 

As for Twende, I was able to help write two grants for Jim and his current project, the animal powered generator. One of the grant applications required a "story" submission on their website HCD connect. Our posting can be found  HERE. Jim will also continue to work with World Vision and Global Service Corps since the project report we submitted about Ngage village was able to create enough interest in the project and  they are now planning on fixing the problem! I hope to stay updated and hopefully see a solution in the near future :D
