For the first time in a long time, I'm looking at my schedule for the next week and realizing I'll be fairly busy (with work stuff, not just fun stuff). Here's what I've managed to find to keep my schedule busy.
Teaching
Starting tomorrow I will be teaching at Sipala Friends Boys High School (Sipala High). I will be teaching business studies to Form 2 and 3 students. That's the equivalent to Sophomores and Juniors at a high school in the states. Although age wise, it can vary greatly from the US depending on when the students started school, or if they ever had to stop (say because they didn't have money to pay school fees one year).
Business studies is an interesting heading for which a variety of topics fall under. It includes what we know as: Economics, accounting, business, and a few other things tossed in there. There is a fairly specific syllabus to follow. So tomorrow I'll be explaining to Form 2s how and what a partnership is (they are going through business types like sole proprietorship, cooperative, etc) and later in the week I'll be getting to into Supply and Demand with the Form 3s.
Training
On Saturday I'm meeting with two young guys who work as teachers at the Webuye Youth Empowerment Center doing computer skills training. I'm gonna be working with them to teach them the basics of web design and building websites.
Grad SchoolFor those of you who don't know, I'm back in school in more than one way. Teaching high school and working on my MS in Negotiation and Dispute Resolution online through Creighton University. Timing should work out I wrap up this as I'm wrapping up my service here.
Proposal Writing
I'm working on a funding proposal to build a computer lab at Sipala high. I'll share more details on that down the road.
So yeah, that's what I'm up to. On top of this stuff I'm still working with my CBO on the various projects they have going on, its just not all that time consuming.
