1.7. Services offered by the organization:
Income generation. This is done by identifying a business model, connections with micro-
enterprise credit institutions
Sponsorship: Kabahesi CDC offers a sponsorship position to children. Children here are
sponsored in education and provision of other basic needs of life to improve their well-being.
The main source of funding for Kabahesi CDC kabala cluster is through sponsorship and this
sponsorship is renewed via writing letters.
Health: Kabahesi CDC has continued to work towards better health for both sponsored children
and the neighbouring communities. Kabahesi CDC has improved health in its community
through working on cleaning wells around the community, visiting places most especially
carrying home visitation of its project beneficiaries while trying to check on their health status in
their homes. Project children are gathered and taken to their fellow children’s homes where
urinal places, toilets, kitchens and other places where health should be maintained. Kabahesi
CDC also offers medical treatment to its beneficiaries. Sick children are taken to the nearby
health centers and those with critical illness are offered transfer medical chits to get advanced
treatment. Also, Kabahesi CDC offers dental screening and health screening services to its
beneficiaries every year.
Education: Kabahesi CDC works together with Compassion International to raise the standard of
education for its beneficiaries by enabling children from poor families to access education with
the need to uplift the people's standards of living in the community. The project pays some
amount of money for its beneficiaries to acquire education and caregivers are supposed to pay
some other small part of school fees as top up. It also identifies Classes and certifications
specific to the business, workshops in business management, accounting, and credit management
Agriculture: Kabahesi CDC also supports agriculture to increase the economic status of its
beneficiaries and their well-being. It has brought agricultural trainers to enable its beneficiaries
most especially children’s caregivers gain experience concerning agriculture. Kabahesi CDC
also plays a great role in improving household food production for its beneficiaries by teaching
them how to improve their food production and modern farming techniques such as the use of
fertilizers. The project offers some seed varieties such as avocado seeds, orange seeds, and many
other kinds of fruit seeds. It also offers animal breeds such as goats and he goats. This is done to
improve the economic status of its beneficiaries and enhance their development.
Child protection: Kabahesi CDC does a great service of child protection. This has been
through teaching caregivers the rights of children. The project has tried its level best to bring
trained people to teach caregivers about the need to protect and preserve children’s rights for
example right to education, right to medical treatment, the right to fair treatment and so many
others.
Employment opportunities: People have acquired jobs and these include the overseer, project
director and her co-staff workers, Centre guides, cooks, watchmen and other people who sell
goods and services to the project such as wholesales, those who supply uniforms and shoes and
this has uplifted people’s lives and wellbeing in the
community.

Increased access to clean water: Kabahesi CDC has supported communities in the area to access
clean and safe water for drinking as well as for domestic work, compassion has also organized
workshops for the project children and parents on health issues like hand wash and water
purification for drinking which has enabled them to remain using these methods to fight on
health issues. This has had a great impact on society as it has promoted health among people in
the community.
Offering vocational skills: The project offers skills to its beneficiaries such as knitting, playing
the piano baking chapattis, mandazi wedding cakes, preparing salads, tailoring and carpentry
skills trained personnel are brought by the project to enable its beneficiaries to acquire
developmental skills. The project does this to uplift the lives of its beneficiaries.
Serving children with their basic needs of life: The project also does the service of offering basic
needs of life to the project-assisted children. Such basic needs of life include food, shelter,
clothes such as school uniforms and many others to ensure that their beneficiaries are in good
health.
1.7.1 Target Population
The project is targeting the community around Buhara Sub County and some parts of
Kamuganguzi Sub County and the main emphasis is to improve the children’s well-being. Even
the needy children, child-headed families and people living with HIV/AIDS are also considered.
Kabahesi CDC also targets children who are living in poor conditions to uplift the lives of
children in such families. Children are chosen to be part of the assisted children of CDC when
they are 1year to 5 years
After being put in Compassion, the child is taught, cared for, and supported until he or she
reaches 22 years old and exits the program. After 22 years, the child writes a completion letter to
the sponsor and leaves the program since he or she is thought to have been holistically impacted
that is spiritually, physically, socially and economically. The youth at this time of exit is thought
to be a fulfilled Christian adult and is self-supporting.
1.8. Brief History of Kabahesi CDC
Kabahesi CDC came into existence in 1997 by the church of Uganda under the help of
Compassion International Uganda. This was because by then Kabahesi CDC was composed of
illiterate ungodly people who lived in absolute poverty. Kabahesi CDC has done its level best to
ensure that people have gained skills and knowledge which has improved the living conditions of
the Kabahesi community. These skills and knowledge have been acquired through offering
education both handcraft skills and formal education. Also, the Kabahesi community which was
seen as an ungodly place before the existence of Kabahesi CDC, has now accepted the lordship
of Jesus Christ. Kabahesi CDC started majorly to improve the living conditions of the people of
Kabahesi but after having seen a great change in the Kabahesi community, it now focuses on
recruiting children who are also not among the Kabahesi community meaning that there has been
an improvement hence Kabahesi CDC has been of a benefit to the people around and within
Kabahesi.
1.9 Conclusion.
Kabahesi CDC is anon governmental organization founded by the church of Uganda diocese of
Kigezi under compassion international Uganda and as an agency, it has got the vision, mission
and objectives since its existence is of the reason. It has tried to achieve its objectives as it has
tried to uplift children’s lives and wellbeing and released children from poverty.

CHAPTER TWO

2.3 Activities participated in during the internship:

In the course of internship training, I worked as an intern in the and learning FINANCE
Department and reported to the Project officer
During my internship, I was allowed to participate in a variety of activities at the field
workplace.
Filing: During my internship period, I did the role of filing office documents,
report form records, health screening forms, and caregivers consent forms, personal
dental screening forms, Child Development Program Reports, birth certificates, child
health cards and many others.
Offering medical referral chits; during my internship, I also did the role of
offering medical chits to the registered children to enable them to receive medical
treatment. Registered children who were sick were given medical transfer chits to
Rugarama Hospital.
Teaching; during my internship, I was given a class of 12-14, and the lesson(s)
was all about cognitive and socio-emotional. Cognitive is all about how to use their
cognitions like thinking, what should be done in the time of facing a challenge, where to
run for help, who can help, who is bad, who is good and what to do or how to act. For
example in case of child abuse like a father asking for sex from a child, he /she should
run to chairperson Lc’s or project director for help. How to control and understand
people’s emotions and help in the shortest time possibly take a situation where one is in
periods or is feeling severe abdominal pain should see or be helped to visit CDO health
for help.
Record keeping; during my internship period, I was able to record all the
necessary given information to me. I helped in keeping records like reports forms filing,
compiling all sorts of reports, filling updated sending and receiving information
especially in emergency times writing and keeping proposals for funding.
Recording project documents; while doing my field work practice, I did the
role of recording office documents for example I recorded report form records, recorded
caregivers’ names into their register book in case they had a meeting at the project.
Receiving local fund; during my field work practice, I did an activity of
receiving local fund from children’s caregivers and making receipts for them. This helped
the project to run its activities such as building classrooms, and many other project
activities thus ensuring the smooth running of the project activities.
  Others include but not limited to;
 Seek tasks from my supervisors’ subordinate in case of absence.
 Attend Team building sessions.
 Attending staff meetings.
 Make a weekly record of activity in my log book.
 Any other duty assigned.

2.4 Supervision levels and relationship with supervisor

While at Kabahesi CDC, I worked under minimum supervision of my supervisor on several

counts as indicated in my log book and many a time I worked with barely any supervision but
had to make do with personal responsibility to accomplish tasks.
My relationship with my supervisor was cordial, fostered and this made bonding easy and
seeking council, help, advice come easy too in time of requisite.
I was also granted identical treatment as any other staff; I was granted access to all necessary
services accessed by other staff. I had access to departmental offices and chattels like computers,
photocopier, printers, and document store among others. My powers and actions were limited to
those stipulated by the Compassion International Internship policy.

2.5 Conclusion:
Kabahesi CDC has been of great impact as a Business student since I have been able to
perform a variety of activities which have improved on my professional knowledge,
values and skills. Ranging from management, finance, accounting and marketing.

CHAPTER THREE
APPLICATION OF PROFESSIONAL KNOWLEDGE IN THE FIELD
WORK PRACTICE.
3.0 Introduction
In this chapter there is professional knowledge which I applied in the field work activities, case
studies that was done, some of the professional knowledge applied/skills include; planning,
observation, listening skills, effective communication, editing, writing and reading skills,
confidentiality, guidance and counselling, delegating, directing, supervising and teaching among
others.
3.1 Level of accomplishment of duties and responsibilities assigned.
The level of accomplishment of duties and responsibilities was done in accordance with the
assignments given and attached duration of activity by my Agency supervisor at Kabahesi CDC
3.1.1 The Project Finance manager/Director
She plays majorly, three roles which are;
 Planning
A project manager is responsible for formulating a project plan to meet the project’s objectives
while adhering to an approved budget and timeline.
 Budgeting

The Project manager devise a budget for a project and stick to it as closely as possible. If certain
parts of the project end up costing more (or, in a perfect world, less) than anticipated, She has to
moderate the spending and reallocate funds when necessary.
 Execution
The project manager participates in and supervises the successful execution of each stage of the
project. Again, this requires frequent, open communication with the project team members in this
case, the CPC members, CDO’s and the P.F.

3.2 Professional knowledge applied by a student

Planning, delegating and observation.
I applied planning and observation. Before doing any work at the agency I could first observe
how things were done and after getting clearly how things are done, I could use the same
procedure to do the same work. In addition, planning was also put in account for efficiency some
workload couldn’t be done alone and yet it could be needed urgently, this forced me to delegate
some of the support staff to help me do the work in a short period.
Listening and effective communication.
In this case listening is the important step in making effective communication. Without listening
there is no effective communication because in most cases it is not easy to make communication
effective take an example it’s very hard to teach a noisy class than peaceful one, the peaceful
class will understand better than the noisy and disorganized one. Effective communication also
needs someone to have that self confidence in delivering the message.
Writing, editing and reading skills.
Writing preferably here it was purposely the short hand of the agency, like the CDO finance,
CDO health, PD, CDC, these short terms could ease communication since they are always
specific and clear for example short note informing teachers about day ongoing program from
CDO finance, CDO health, PD, instead of using names among others, editing more especially
letters of children’s and morning glory lessons as well as distribution lists of HVC, in
distribution of items like soap, food stuffs and maize flour, eggs, reading skills was essential for
both caregivers and children to hear and do the needful. This could ease the daily activities in
daily life.
Confidentiality.
All these needed my confidentiality to maintain not only good name in the agency but to build
trust between clients and staff. It was also a requirement which was to be followed ethically as,
so far so good clients trusted enough and they opened up, shared experience with me and in
community they could refer others to me for guidance and counseling of their children’s conduct
and behaviors. Help in compiling health report which could also be used for reference, tracking
the children’s reports, child health status form filling among other activities concerning health
Staffing
Staffing refers to the management function devoted to acquiring, training and appraising
employees. Staffing is important in hiring suitable candidates according to their knowledge and
skills in an organization. Untrained and unsupervised staff can hinder the operation of the
agency.
Controlling
Control is the analytical method by which the blend is regularly tested and evaluated in Business
setup. In modern Business administration, control is essential. The department cannot function
smoothly without control measures. Employees must follow certain regulations and this ensures
coordination within the agency’s operation.
Teaching.
I was also involved in teaching the Projects Participants in accordance to the Compassion
Internationals’ curriculum. And through teaching, I gained the knowledge of management,
communication skill and many others.
Observation method. This helped me to asses’ physical expression meaning in relation to
information from clients. It is through observation that a teacher for example can see whether the
class is attentive or not and the same applies to the clients some of them could not attend to their
problem while other could feel sorry and accept change.
Documentary analysis. Documentation helped me to get information about the financial
transactions and the general Performance of the Project.
Communication skill. I applied both nonverbal and verbal communication in problem-solving
to enhance cooperation and opening up. For example, interpersonal communication, it is a
process by which people exchange information and feelings.
3.3 Relationship between the theory taught and their application artwork
The duties and tasks undertaken were in maximum conformation with the programs taught at
the university. Programs taught at the university are so much related to fieldwork. Course units
like Organizational Behavior, Financial Management, and Business Communication Skills, were
highly engaged at diverse levels and others like human resource management, and economics are
all vital in understanding the dynamics of employment and underlying principles behind certain
undertakings.
The field training was a perfect actualization of the programs taught at the university.
3.4 Preparedness of the agency to receive and manage students for field attachment

Kabahesi CDC as an organization was very much primed to receive and manage me for field
attachment. As an organization that has always trained students, I was welcomed, oriented & and
inducted then dispatched to the department and the supervisor as earmarked in the acceptance
letter. As part of orientation, the People and Culture office held a meeting with me on 19th-
September at the Headquarters before the dawn of the Training, at the meeting, I was guided
through the internship policy, meet and greet tour around the offices and shared expectations
from the training at Kabahesi CDC.

3.5 skills gained

Internship improved on my computer skills through the assignments that was given to in various areas
concerning accounting and finance such as reconciling the cash books with the bank statements
Office communication. During this period, it gave me a chance to learn how to communicate with other
people at the work place and i also gained a lot of confidence in that.
I learnt that when you become an accountant, you have to know how to account for the money that is
given for a particular purpose.
I also leant how various documents are prepared such as an invoice, Local purchasing Orders, Payment
voucher. Chequebooks and many others.
I also learnt that auditing is very important in an organization because it clarifies the mistakes that have
done by the employees in an organization.

3.6 How I intend to utilize what I have learnt.

I intend to utilize what I have learnt in the following ways.

I will be able to discreet especially when it comes to confidential information.
I will be able to adapt the situation of any organization.
I will be able to listen to other when they are talking so that i can be able to learn more in different
areas.
I will be able to handle the situations concerning accounting and finance.
Even i will be to express my views freely and confidently concerning any matter.
CHAPTER FOUR
INTERNSHIP EVALUATION
4.0 introduction
This chapter describes the, Challenges I faced during internship, the benefits I gained and the
extent to which the University prepared for this Field work. As broadly discussed below.

4.1 Challenges faced and how managed.

I faced mainly two challenges that shaped a few others;
 Temporary absence of my supposed field supervisor at the start of my internship due to
the resignation of the former and the new outfit was undergoing induction so encounters
like limited work load, supervisor absence ensued, nonetheless I made sure I finish the
tasks available and exposure I could get to make the most of my training.
 Miss-shelving. While filing, I found some files in wrong shelves, they had been miss
pressed. This in turn delayed my work as it was so hard to retrieve.
 However, I had to rearrange the shelves, and their files in attachment at the end of the
Internship.
4.2 Benefits derived from Field Attachment.
Despite the challenges faced, benefits from internship were so many. These benefits included;
 New knowledge and practical experience which can be applied in future was acquired,
furthermore confidence and passion for my future career amplified.
 An opportunity to relate with different categories of people who might prove to be useful
in a future real life situation was achieved.
 Confidence in problem solving and interacting with other staff members was improved.
 Exposure to the demands of work and challenges as part of life after studies was a great
comprehension.
 Office conduct and having to cope with the core values was essential. I understood the
work ethics, employment demands, responsibilities and opportunities of work.

4.3 Adequacy in University’s preparing the student for field attachment

The different activities the university engaged us in preparing us well for the field training. The
already prepared log books (appendix 1) gave a proper guide throughout my internship period in
addition my work plan that streamlined my set targets and means to achieve them was also
essential.
 My weekly documented activities in the log book made the compilation of the field
attachment report effortless. Assessment and supervision was also facilitated which
helped us get fitting recommendations from the field supervisor.
 The orientation meeting held before the internship period gave a true picture of the
expectations from the work place. The required guidance was given to us, which fitted
the student in the practical world.
 CHAPTER FIVE

CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS

5.1Introduction

This chapter presents the conclusions and recommendations put forward basing on the
experience gained during the internship training.
My stay at Kabahesi CDC as an intern yielded a lot of success. In particular, I was able to get
exposed to the real employment setting, its necessities and challenges.
During my internship, I understood how Kabahesi CDC is structured, and what its activities are.
It was remarkable to be familiarized to how NGO’s like Kabahesi CDC operate. The field
attachment was significant in aiding me in attaining hands-on capability with work, relate the
concepts and techniques learnt to practical problem solving scenarios, meet new people and
potential employers, as well as understanding what is required in the employment world. My
field attachment discoveries have thus enabled me to fulfill the intended objectives of internship
both as a student and prospective employee.
The field attachment was a whole new undertaking into the work domain and principles that
govern it like time observance, culpability, confidentiality, mutual respect, willingness to work,
and assisting unconditionally were of the essence in comprehending and acknowledging the
ABCs of employment.
Much as there were a few challenges on and off work the field attachment period was essentially
a success.

5.2 Recommendations

Owing to the encounters in the course of the field attachment, a lot can be said about the
students, the University, as well as Kabahesi CDC. I thus vouch for the following to be
considered;
5.2.1 The university

 The University has to carry on with the improvement and upgrading its curriculum to
fully suit the market dynamics. More emphasis needs to be put on the practical modules
than the theoretical concepts. This will ultimately improve on the students’ internship
performance.
 Need to increase the supervisor to student ratio; many students grumble about this over
the years; the assessment may be insufficient or not there at all yet they are allotted ample
time which is displeasing.

5.2.2 The students for future internship

 Students need to breed a keen interest in their field of employment literature so as get
an insight prior to field attachment. The literature will also enable students to get
along easy at work and lessen consultation time; for example grow familiar with
ordinarily used software, the organizations’ literature(work and activities), to reduce
on the strain in the training and make the practice more progressive.
 Students give high consideration to their internship training because it’s a prerequisite
to finishing any course as well as regarding their field supervisors together with
university supervisors and fellow students because it all contributes to the supervisor
assessment of the student.
5.2.3 To Kabahesi CDC
Kabahesi CDC staff and support staff was very supportive especially in terms of giving
information when I needed it.
The organization receives and accommodates interns well, all necessary amenities are available.
However, I recommend the Project staff to carry out sensitization programs in order to enable
proper service delivery, encouraging hard work by the caregivers and the project staff hence
achieving the organizational project goals.
5.3 CONCLUSSION
In a nut shell, I enjoyed doing my Internship at Kabahesi Child development Center. And I
commend it to whoever looking for a place of learning, would consider doing it here.
