Traditionally when Dave comes to Kigali for the workshops he sets up 45 minute one-on-one meetings with the workshop participants. I call it speed dating for entrepreneurs! Dave O, Dave H, Catherine, Elizabeth, Betty and I were stationed around the Serena Hotel pool (which is stunning I might add!) for the day. We coached the entrepreneurs on areas like strategy, sales and marketing, customer service, business development, and leadership. It was so much fun, yet used a lot of brain power so by the end of it we were ready for some R&R.
That evening we went to our friend Innocent’s art show at Heaven Restaurant (aka “the American restaurant”). Innocent is from Uganda but his whole family lives in Kigali and he is one of 4 members that started a co-op called Ivuka Arts. He is a self-taught contemporary artist that is starting to get International attention and is one of the artists that donated a piece to Art for Africa 2010.
