It's 9:00 am. Sammy Muraya and Ann Mikia have just arrived with a draft script for their weekly HIV/AIDS radio program, “A Stitch in Time.” It's broadcast at 11 am, on the same day. We analyze the script and prepare questions for the live guests.

At 9:45 am, Eudias Kigai from Waumini FM arrives. I help her to write a framework for a program focusing on children and HIV. Thereafter, Ben Owiti from Inooro FM arrives with a script about discordant couples dealing with HIV. We simplify the story and shorten the sentences.

At 11:30 am, I meet with Lucy Kimani, our senior administrative assistant. We go through the receipts and books for the month. They need to be approved and sent to Washington D.C. Lunch time arrives. But there's no time for that.

Our sound technician and I listen to Owiti's edited package and make changes. Then, I rush to a meeting with a local AIDS NGO. We assist them with a media strategy. By 3:30 pm, I return to the office to help yet another journalist. Then I rush home to write a quarterly report.

By 6 pm Kenya time, I participate in a conference call with my US colleagues. We discuss a strategy for our expansion to television. By 7 pm, I begin to prepare the agenda for a weeklong training for radio journalists that starts the next Monday and answer emails that have piled up through the day.

Round about 10 pm, I finish everything off. My husband asks, ‘Do you ever stop thinking about Internews?’ I say, ‘No, it goes like this everyday.’
