Back in the classroom!

Monday, April 25
(Dr John Mulford)

Met with Chrystel to organize for the final week and a half of the program. She seemed completely recovered from her terrible asthma attach. She said she has one every three years. In reminding students that class resumes tonight, we learned that Aime is in the hospital. Not sure of the reason, but we are praying for him.

Met with Apollo and Brigitte at RDB to finalize plans for graduation. Everything seems on track.

Good to be back in class. Students were excited about graduation next week. To help me remember all their businesses and to force them to be concise, I had each person present his or her business in one minute. Many timed out before finishing. One man said that he needed extra time to translate from Kinyarwanda to English in his head before speaking. Lots of good discussion about the key success factors in their businesses.

Upon arrival back at the guest house, I was greeted by our visiting executive from South Africa, who had just arrived. We talked for an hour and a half. I learned a lot about S. African politics. He is an expert on legal structures of businesses. Many students and graduates have reserved one-on-one time with him.
