Research Project Underway!

"A major research project begins on May 1st at Layibi and Unyama camps where ChildVoice and Action For Children are serving about 300 child mothers and their children. Two interns with ChildVoice, Brittany Brendsel from Messiah College and Rebekah Cushing from Alaska Pacific University, will conduct home visits and field surveys to collect valuable demographic and psychosocial information on each girl. Three other interns, Tae Kurosu from Boston University, Jennifer Quiroa and Kevin “Miller” Hui from Brown University, will join Brittany and Rebekah in June to complete this survey research.

This survey data will help ChildVoice to make the difficult selection decisions about who will be accepted into the program as well as provide critical data that will help us develop program services that better meet their needs."


Brittany and I leave tomorrow morning for Gulu by bus. The new Project Manager for the renovation work at the Lukoti site (you can learn more about this on the blogsite), Richard Kitarinyeba, will escort the two of us by bus up to Gulu. Yesterday Brittany and I met with Richard in preperation for our trip north. Richard is an incredibly friendly and fun fella and I am very much looking forwards to working with him this summer. Richard will remain in Gulu with Brittany and I throughout our time in Gulu and will be one of our point contact men. You can learn more about Richard as well by reading the UgandanHope blog, the address which is posted above.
