Yesterday was a great day in the office. I met the MSH staff and they are taking very good care of me. After the day in the office I went back to the hotel, ran some errands, ate dinner, and worked out at the hotel gym. It's quite a small gym, so I didn't get treadmill time, but got a bike session in. I planned to get up early today to run, so I went to bed right after 10:30pm for an early wakeup. My plans were thwarted by jet lag, though - I tossed and turned a bit, and when I looked at the clock it was after midnight! I saw the clock again at 1:20am, so decided that I needed to sleep in until it was time to go to the office and forget about running for the morning, which was too bad. Maybe I can get it in tonight.
Later today we'll be heading to the Nkhotakota district to meet with a variety of people - staff, volunteers, etc. which will be a great chance for me to see the program in action a bit more! I am looking forward to getting out and seeing more of the country!
It looks like my scope of work is changing a bit - still doing evaluation work, but with a different focus - so I'm reading up on project reports and trying to devise some new questions and approaches. I'm very happy to have the help and guidance of the team here in this process! Hopefully this trip to Nkhotakota will also help me clarify the pieces I'm working on.
