So, what’s next? TIU is finished, and we are all ready to move to Rwamagana priovince and meet our host families. We will leave Kigali after lunch in
time to get to the communities for what I hear will be quite the celebratory welcome ceremony.
Monday morning begins our real work with the “Immersion”
phase of the Innovation Institute. This
phase of the Institute has three goals: build relationships, learn the culture,
and uncover assets. This qualitative, ethnographic research is foundational to
the larger innovation process. We will be interviewing, observing, and shadowing
community members (and likely sweeping our homes, cooking dinner with our
Mamas, and feeding the cows in between) for the next two weeks.
We will probably be offline for the entirety of this phase, but watch for another
update on or around July 7.
Murabeho (good bye for now)!
