Today we finally heard back from a grant that I applied for a few weeks back (actually, submission date was the day Julian left Kalisizo), and we received full funding! If you are interested in checking out the grant, which incidentally would provide you with a rough sketch of the work I'll be doing for the next four weeks (I realized that today looking on a calendar I have exactly four weeks left until I fly out of Entebbe International Airport. Time is disappearing.), then you can go to the Project Documents page and see the budget, workplan and application I submitted. Our response letter can be found here:
The grant is through the Foundation for Sustainable Development, and is only available to people who were placed with host organizations/host families for work by that organization. It, as it's name suggests, targets sustainable development projects that aim to increase the long-term ability of an organization to deliver a service. It cannot be used for capital investments (specifically noted on no-nos were computers, which was upsetting, because scoring a high-capital investment like a computer, a router, etc. would have made our job a lot easier), so the work plan that will use the grant funds is focused on the teaching/experimenting aspect of our project.
