July 1, 2008, Tuesday

7:30AM Jessica and I headed south to Nacaomi.

9:30AM At Fernando’s house finishing up info to go with GPS map locations.

11:00AM Meeting with Roxana. Discussed her projects:
• Evaluate average grades prior to L4L and see if trends are developing.
• Work with Principals to write a monthly letter.
We talked till 12:30, Roxana understands what I want and seems enthusiastic; we’ll see.

2:00PM Drove out to look at school kitchen progress at Rincon.

3:00PM Need phone minutes so drove to Sal Lucas. Had dinner at my favorite fish restaurant. I took this opportunity to explain to Fernando and Jessica that we are very pleased with the way they are managing things and they should continue with every confidence that we are satisfied with their management. I asked if they had any questions/comments. Positive discussion for next 1.5 hours. During the discussion Fernando stated that he was very happy working with L4L, it is what he wants to do; however he doesn’t know anything about the financial strength of L4L as it relates to the long term security of the program. I assured him that we are in it for the long term; I expect we will stay the same size for a while then slowly grow; there is no reason for him (Fernando) to be looking for replacement employment.

6:30PM At motel, end of day.
