TFF (The First Friday)

The first week in Mumbai passed so fast. Our client MMC (Mumbai Mobile Creches) is located nearby the gateway of India, it is a little far away from our hotel. We took 45 hour from our hotel to our client office and 1 hour from client office to hotel by taxi. Recently we found a fix taxi driver to pick up us. I still remembered we met a bad driver who want to cheat us with different taxi pay rate on Tuesday. Luckily Shruti just accompany with us and told us how to handle this case. Sometimes it happened in Shanghai as well, even you are local passenger.
The office of our client is in an old building, it is not big for about 20 staff, but you can see the sea and hear the birdsong from balcony. There is no air condition, so it is a little hot afternoon.
We have met lots stakeholders in this week. We had meeting with CEO of MMC to discuss her expectation about our program. She is wonderful talking person, the staff believe she can convince the world. All staff are pretty emotional because they believe and love what they are doing.
We visited teachers and children in one daily care center at construction side. The environment of construction side is really tough to live for workers. But MMC really provide a safety place for all children from 0 to 14 years old. They take care of the nutrition and education of children as well. The teachers really did amazing job to take care of all children, to prepare the food, to teach them, to make toys etc. I can't image how the way those children will live without MMC daily center. I hope we can simply the process to reduce the burden on teachers.
We talked to program coordinator and research officer to figure out what are their current solution and process. They had trying to find the way to improve their process, sometimes what they did is beyond what I expected. But they still haven't got expected result. I think the reason is the structure of data module is not correct, that will be the key to improve their process, also that is what we are focus on.
We will enjoy our time to find solution to help so much lovely children and amazing teachers.

To be continue...
