Status of Organizational Cooperation -updated-
This is the third update on how my cooperation with the organizations I am working 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...
I am going to conduct interviews with more Cell-Life staff, as well as a representative of the Desmond Tutu AIDS Foundation the following week.
tuXlab (more about tuXlab):
Met on Tuesday with part of the tuXlab team and already had a great discussion about the project. Went to a fascinating launch of a new tuXlab in Khayelitsha (see below) and conducted first interviews. 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 and Computers 4 Kids. Also, I will attend a tuXlab event in Johannesburg on June 16.
Africa Drive Project (ADP) (more about ADP):
I am in very good email communication with people that worked or used to work with ADP and I will be in Pretoria, where the headquarters of ADP are, from June 12 to June 23. There, I am going to conduct interviews with ADP stakeholders, including SAP, eDegree, GTZ and some of the involved schools.
