The Plan

*Note: many of the places are described in greater detail in this post.
My meeting with Abdullah last Friday about the plan for what to do with Worldwide Mobility in the next few weeks was great. Here's the flexible schedule (subject to changes & rearrangements):
Monday - work at KASI, make website to fill in the form, make Word Document version. Abdullah will be out, so it's a perfect day to catch up on email and do the web side of the plan.
Tuesday - meet/work with one of the wheelchair technicians at Kilimanjaro Christian Medical Center (KCMC), Albert.
Wednesday - Two home visits of current wheelchair users, both in good quality, locally made chairs
Thursday - Work at KCMC, meet with Albert again, the orthopedics department, and the Motivation office
Friday - go to CCBR with Abdullah, after work, go to the KASI Finance Committee meeting.

Monday - travel to Arusha to see Mobility Care, learn their system, etc
Tuesday - visit Njoro workshop
Wednesday - home visit of a current wheelchair user in an unfitted, externally donated chair from the states
Thursday - assessment at CCBR
Friday - meeting with local PAWA people

So there's the rough sketch. I think it's an appropriate mixture of seeing each of the aspects over here and all parts of it are things I definitely would not be able to do from MIT. I'm looking forward to meeting and working with everybody, especially talking with the current wheelchair users. I think it will be very enlightening to compare the experiences of the users in locally fitted vs externally non-fitted wheelchairs.
