TimeDesk & de toekomst van werk en inkomen
Door het lanceren van TimeDesk als nieuwe werkvorm doorbreken we de negatieve sentimenten rondom werkloosheid en door de perverse regelgeving die werkloosheid in de hand werkt in plaats van oplost.
Ik opereer als strategisch termiet en kom optimaal tot mijn recht in situaties waar weinig structuur is. Ik maak geen plannen maar heb wel een brede visie hoe op termijn resultaat te behalen. Belangrijkste eigenschap is dat ik situaties creëer die vervolgens hun eigen dynamiek meebrengen en zo verandering tot stand brengen vanuit onbekende hoek. Vastomlijnde plannen passen uiteraard niet in deze avontuurlijke aanpak

Last week I visited the public toilet at the old taxi park and a good-looking woman who did not look like she belonged in such an environment went through Bukedde newspaper. She took her time reading, only taking her eyes off the paper long enough to make sure I dropped the right coin in the bucket on her lap. She handed me change and went back to her reading. The bucket was almost full. A man then handed me a three-sheet green toilet paper and I waited in line for the filthy toilet. The bowls are brown, the floor is wet with tissue and soil making it worse.
Alle Afrikaanse landen groeien dit jaar, terwijl een groot deel van de wereld lijdt onder de crisis’, jubelde de Afrikaanse Ontwikkelingsbank dinsdag. De Amerikaanse minister van Buitenlandse Zaken Hillary Clinton toert momenteel door Afrika (7 landen in 11 dagen) om ‘booming Afrika’ met eigen ogen te aanschouwen.

I have just come back from our partnership project in Uganda. I spent a month there, sorting out a donation for their library (we bought many new useful books) and for the new buildings that now function as dormitories for orphans who board at the school (we are planning to buy new beds and mattresses for them). Also a friend of mine came there with me and spent a month doing IT training with the teachers and pupils. She had successfully obtained funding for bringing two laptop tablets, solar lights and chargers for the project. All in all, this is a great new development for the project!

The Gisu tribe, also known as the Bamasaaba, live in the landslide prone areas on the slopes of Mount Elgon in eastern Uganda. Even after the recent landslide on 25 June, they remain greatly attached to their ancestral land and its fertile soil and resist government efforts to relocate them to…
On another memorable day, the medical students who were here (and who have since departed) and Dr. Lisa traveled to Bunabumali, a nearby village, to perform physicals on the 250 orphans who lived there in the mountains. They set up a physical exam conveyor belt so as to systematically and methodically examine every single child, but soon felt the system clogging as bad as Kampala traffic. Elyssa and I were pulled from our task teaching the proper use of medicine to a group of sixth graders to aid in the examinations. We were given a crash course in vitals, and managed to record the basic health information of every child who was thrown at us. I EVEN got to use a stethoscope. Doctors without Borders, eat your heart out.
