Week 1: INTRODUCTION

 Hi Journal,

This week is the first class for the Media Project, met my tutor whose name is Chanda Mfula. He gave an overview of the module. At a point in time, I was dazzled by the change of events and asked if we would still be provided with clients. He said he would get back to the class. 

Fingers crossed...

We got a mail from Chanda that the University has got two clients and we were to chose who we would like to work with and also form a group. I had always wanted to work on the Act for Change project so I quickly sent a mail that I would be interested in the project. It was not difficult to find team members who were also interested. So, we have a group!

A Whatsapp group for Act for Change was created. This will ease the flow of communication. We also agreed to have our first meeting on Saturday, 29th January, 2022 at 11a.m. 

We had our first meeting as a group. Sooraj did not show up and that was very disappointing. Swetha and I were able to come up with some ideas. It was agreed that a mail should be sent by Swetha to Act for Change to express our interest in working with them for our media project. We also agreed to do some research about other mental health charities and a background study on Act for Change.

Later in the day, Swetha sent in the draft of the mail. A little correction was made and the mail was sent to Act for Change. We hope to get back a response very soon.
