Six Weeks in Rwanda

Today we met with Jerman Rose, one of the people that we'll be flying to Rwanda with. Jerman is an expert at entreprenurship, especially with regards to developing societies. He will be leading some workshops during the first week on the ground. He came across to me as being a very astute, very professional individual. He gave us some good pointers to keep in mind as we teach the people in Rwanda:

1. Learn the names of the people you meet.
2. Be sensitive to feedback when teaching. (People will say they understand you even if they don't.)
3. Take time to assess the situation once you get there, and use that to your advantage.
4. Treat everyone with respect, especially those from a lower social class.
5. Make the lessons fun and enjoyable.
