The Importance of Evaluation
Yesterday we met with the government here in Mozambique. We were given very little notice that we would be meeting with them. However, I was not nervous because I had written up an evaluation proposal. I showed them my evaluation proposal. I even tried translating parts of it into Portuguese. The lady we met with really liked it. Our interview with the government official was to show them the evaluation I am doing for Care for Life. Care for Life was hoping that by showing the government what we are doing, they will know how serious Care for Life is and offer more assistance to the program. I think we were successful at doing that. We are gathering some great data and I hope to be able to give them an accurate evaluation of their program so they can continue to help people in Mozambique.

Andrea,
You've been really dedicated about keeping us updated. Thanks girl! It's good so that you're not completely overwhelmed with updating us when you get back.
I know how scary it can be meeting with important people. I hope you remembered the tips from Cathie Black and felt confident and like you knew what you were talking about. These are the moments to have faith in yourself..it will show through to those around you :)
Good job!

p.s. Girl, I am really committed to this blog. I told Ben that I couldn't go to bed until I had commented. It's 12:20 am! Time to go. But I love you, pray for you, and hope that you can accomplish what you set out to do. You are doing a good thing and Heavenly Father will bless you and protect you!
Hope you have a great day today!
