Status of Organizational Cooperation -updated-
This is to give an update on how my cooperation with the organizations I want to work with is going:
Cell-Life (more about Cell-Life):
Very helpful and forthcoming team so far. I visited their office a couple of times and were told to come in whenever I want to. Already conducted interviews with Cell-Life staff and with counsilors of the Hannan Crusaid Treatment Centre in Guguletu who use the Cell-Life technology to make Anti-Retro-Viral Treatment more effective. There, I had very interesting discussions, also besides the interviews, with the women who both get treatment and counsil other clients...
Other interviews with Cell-Life staff, as well as with the Desmond Tutu AIDS Foundation will be arranged for this and next week.
tuXlab (more about tuXlab):
Met on Tuesday with part of the tuXlab team and already had a great discussion about the project. Will go to a tuXlab and visit their office on Friday to conduct the first interviews. Also, I am going to talk to some of their partners, including co-ordinators of some of the tuXlabs in schools in the Western Cape Province. If possible, I will be able to attend a tuXlab event in Johannesburg on June 16.
Africa Drive Project (ADP) (more about ADP):
In touch with the project coordinator in Germany. I will travel to Pretoria to visit the project in mid-June to interview the stakeholder involved.
