Hi from Egypt
Well Fredrick
It's nice to hear that you are making progress.
We hope everything is going well with everyone. We had been intouch with some of you, but for others we received several failure notices with the email. We really enjoyed a lot our stay in the Netherlands, it felt like a family, apart from also being very useful.
After we left Netherlands, we passed by Italy for 4 days to do some work, and italy really was a culture shock.
Back to Egypt we have been burdened with so much work that was left behind. Mostafa had to fly back to italy again to attened a machinery exhibition. We then had the holidays (Eid al Fitr) for some time, and now we're back to work full time.
We have already started manufacturing parts of our equipment over here, and hope to start production in this sugar cane season.
Best regards from Egypt
Heba and Mostafa
New Efforts!!
Dear All,
I am the first one here!!
I guess all are well especially the winners who had to do quick planning on how to begin their businesses or scale up.
On my side,after taking a rest,we had to go through a review of the business plan and i can report that,this was finished yesterday and it has drastically reduced in terms of start up capital required.
We are considering starting with a few computers then expand slowly.
I am intouch reqularly with my two coaches whom i also sent it to yesterday.
We are pursuing Getronics which had offered to support in some way.
It is fingers crossed at the moment!!!!
I will let you know what is happening a concerns Bridging the digital divide in Kibera plan is concerned.
Regards,
Fredrick Ouko
