			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>As you may remember, one of my major projects at MamaMikes was putting together the Social Outreach Program. We teamed up with Mama Fatuma children&#8217;s home and created a system by which anybody in the world can select packages ranging from toiletries, books, food, bedding, school uniforms, etc. and have them delivered to the home.</p>
<p>I was very happy to see a recent blog post on the MamaMike&#8217;s site with these great photos from a trip that the team took to deliver donations that had come through! Check it out!</p>
<p>Also, there are more photos on the MamaMikes Facebook Group.</p>

<p>So one of my pet-projects this semester has been integrating the needs of community based organizations and the global reach through e-commerce that MamaMikes.com has developed over time. I established the MamaMikes Social Outreach program to create a new medium by which non-profit organizations in Kenya can gain access to a new donor base, ease the ability for donations to be made, and do so in an organized manner. The program is starting off with a partnership with Mama Fatuma Children&#8217;s Home. I&#8217;ve developed a series of packages that can be purchased on MamaMikes to not only help Mama Fatuma through the direct benefit of the goods received, but will also assist in alleviating funds that can elsewhere be invested. The store can be found from the <a href="http://www.mamamikes.com" target="_blank">MamaMikes Homepage</a>, click the &#8220;Social Outreach&#8221; button at the top of the page, and then there will be a link to Mama Fatuma Children&#8217;s Home. Hopefully this will be a successful venture and the program can be expanded over time to other organizations throughout Kenya.</p>
<p>Also, here is a link to the MamaMikes blog entry about the new partnership:  <a href="http://www.mamamikes.com/blog/?p=14" target="_blank">Click Here</a>.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I realized it has been a long time since I&#8217;ve posted. I&#8217;ve been caught up in a great deal of stress rooting from USIU, program work, and day-to-day life in Nairobi. The below post was delayed, in part so I could have some time to think about it and ensure it wasn&#8217;t posted too close to the event so as to respect his memory.</p>
<p>I don&#8217;t think I&#8217;ve shared much about the work I&#8217;m doing at MamaMikes. I invite you all to check out the project I completed not too long ago: the <a href="http://www.mamamikes.com/blog">MamaMikes Blog</a>. It&#8217;s a good place for customers to keep up to date on new updates and new or special services offered. Martin and I worked closely on this project and are proud of the end-result. Now it is primarily getting everybody on the same page regarding the purpose of the blog and getting regular posts going.</p>
<p>I&#8217;ve been working hard on putting together the MamaMikes Social Outreach Program that I created. It&#8217;s been a bigger task than I expected! We teamed up with Mama Fatumas Children&#8217;s Home in Eastleigh and hopefully this service will be up within the next week. I&#8217;ll be sure to post something so you can check it out!</p>
<p>Also, I&#8217;m working on a &#8220;Mystery Project&#8221; that I&#8217;m keeping confidential until it&#8217;s up and running, but it&#8217;s been an exciting and adventurous ride and I can&#8217;t wait until the wheels are in motion! Right now I&#8217;m working on getting our start-up funding. Once it&#8217;s established I&#8217;ll fill you all in!</p>
