Expanding the Family

by sadams2

Once again, I am really sorry for the blog silence as of late. We’ve had lots of long-term strategy meetings, which are crazy interesting, but crazy draining. I love being a part of the vision of IJM Uganda, but man does that require a lot of brain cells. Whew!

Anyway, this week was AWESOME. After years of planning, months of prayer, and one stunning billboard recruitment campaign, we had seven brand new team members join IJM Uganda! We went from 21 staff members to 29 (including a former staff attorney who’s back as our Director of Structural Transformation). That’s huge!

With those 29 staff and our six interns and fellows, we barely fit in our regular conference room. Offices and desks have been shuffled. Everything feels brand new and brimming with excitement. This a truly great time to be present at our little office and I can’t wait for all of the incredible potential in this group to spill out into the Ugandan public justice system.

Is “watch this space” still a thing? Because if so: WATCH THIS SPACE!
