Today is the start of the ‘big’ workshop! This is the first time I have delivered a two-day workshop on my own – eeeek. A lot of the content is new as well; have had to design and develop based on my first week of observations and requests from managers here, so only finished everything late last night! Not ideal prep and I am quite nervous…! But have met all the participants and they are so excited and ready to learn, so that helps!
Read a tweet the other day from Barack Obama who quoted Martin Luther King… “What are you doing for others?” and it made me feel good about the fact that at least I am trying to do something. And I would really love it if, because of what I am doing here, one of these participants will run their own lodge or hotel one day soon. Doesn’t happen here very often that the locals are the senior managers… I really wish that can be different in the future!
Anyway, twende! (let’s go in Swahili)
BETINA IN AFRICA 
I’m sure it will go well and they will take a lot from it.
We are not here for ourselves, but to meet and help others, and in doing so improve our own lives.

I hope it went well, Betina. What you didn’t cover with your prep you’ll make up for in human warmth and enthusiasm! I’m sure they’ll love you and appreciated tapping into some of your expertise.
Gi’ den gas… / ‘give it some gas’ in Danish. Well you know what I mean…
