On the negative side, our African client has once again disappeared. My professional experience tells me that we NEED input from the client at this stage to pull off a successful project in the short time we have left. This has me feeling pretty discouraged and generally negative at our prospects for success. I guess my thoughts on "community based learning" come down to this: We are trying to build something powerful and useful for the Martin Luther Health Training School. We are investing a lot of time, care and effort, and for those who are traveling there, money as well. But the value of the project is going to hang on the amount of time, care and effort the client is willing/able to put in. We can't do it without them, and if things proceed as they seem to have started, we may well deliver a fine product that is not what they need or want.
I hope I am mistaken.
