We're finally back in business!
After an exciting summer in Uganda, we have all had time to get back to our real lives in Norway. But it is now time to start planning AIM 2011!
Our plan so far is to start recruitment in January, after christmas break. This year, our main focus will be on following up on some of our already existing projects. This is to make sure that we finish what we have already started.
As of now, the plan is to send 8 people to Uganda who will stay there for four weeks. These eight will work on projects and/or get internships relevant to their field of study.
In addition to the 8, we intend on sending down 2 people who have already completed the AIM program. These 2 people will be responsible for following up on AIM projects.They will stay in Uganda for about 2 weeks. The reason we have decided on sending 2 people who have already been a part of AIM is because they know which projects have been done, and they understand the Ugandan culture. In this way, they do not need time to get used to the culture, and our project partners do not have to get to know new people every summer. We think this will lead to a more efficient follow-up of our projects.
More information about AIM 2011 will be sent out thoughout the year.
