Mom Gets a New "Job"

Well I spoke with Mom this weekend. All is still going well. She has been establishing new sites with her 'super crew'. One day last week all of the sites combined vaccinated 75,000 people!

Two days ago her boss came up to her to ask what she was doing. She was about to go out to an area that is supposed to be very beautiful to setup some new sites. All was running well. The person asked 'How long will that take?' and then asked if she could talk to Mom privately. It turns out they were about to let go the person who was handling the fleet of vehicles and managing the 'home office'. Well you can probably guess what happened next...yep Mom is now the new fleet manager and overseer of the home office. That is 78 vehicles plus personnel such as security, cooks, etc. She is flustered a bit since she knows nothing about any of that stuff. She has to make sure all of the drivers have functioning vehicles, they are maintained, they get to the right people at the right time, etc. The previous person had nothing documented...it was all in her head. Mom knows others that have this fleet assignment and thought "Boy I am glad I am not doing that". Well now she is.

She is still in good spirits and having a blast. It appears Uganda is still on so she will go from this to Uganda (as it stands right now). I will let you know more as I know more.
