We have come to Gulu with an agenda on our hands. Our notebooks are filled with lists for the days’ tasks; for things that must be done before we go because we’re unsure of when we’ll return. In our time here we have made room on the long list for one more thing. We are making time to commit to our mentors. We work together to distribute the work, to rely on their knowledge and to allow people to take an active role in reforming their local community.
Delegation is good: it’s the only way to grow- but this task seems different. In this relationship, we exist as the impetus, we come with the agenda, but the work is facilitating our mentors. Peter and Christine have the heart for their community, they have passion and vision and now we have their back.
