What We'll be Doing in Arusha

There are two software applications, an accounting system and a medical records system, that Dr Mark Jacobson is trying to implement in the original Selian Hospital as well as the new hospital in downtom Arusha. In a volunteer capacity I will be assisting their technical staff to help implement these systems. What that probably means is that I will be:

• Working underneath Mr Mungure and Mr Moye, who both work with technology at the hospital, to help them accomplish their goals
• Assistance in documenting your entire technology environment
• Providing networking and server assistance with new and old hospitals
• Assistance with implementing your Care2x and WEB ERP software programs
• Assisting in the process of building training materials for software and system usage
• Helping to setup a reliable environment that, if and when it breaks, we will have documentation and processes in place to ensure that it continues to work smoothly
• Meeting as many people as I can in the hospital and making strong relationships as I try to understand the needs of everyone
• Prioritizing my time to best accomplish their biggest goals as I learn about them
• Having lots and lots of fun!
  
  My family will also be volunteering for AfricAid (http://www.africaid.com/ ) which will entail visiting the schools and sharing donated school supplies from Wilmot Elementary where Mackie and Zoe go to school and supplies from Evergreen Country Day School with Jessica and Stephen go to school.
