We have completed our time with EWEA (Ethiopian Women’s
Export Association) and are now doing site visits with AWEP (African Women
Entrepreneurs Program). Our time here
has been and is continuing to be an incredible experience. Friday was the last day for the EWEA full day
workshops. I didn’t want them to
end. The participants were
incredible. Although they said they were
not used to speaking in front of people, they came and sat in what we called
the ‘hot seat’. For each business, I
prepared a slide show of their business and they talked about it to the group,
sometimes in English and some in Amharic. No problem for us because we had already
visited the site and knew what it was about.
Then, the last day, we had a mini trade fair where they brought a
display of their products. Here is a
link for you to have a look at our EWEA workshops, the participants and the mini
trade fair.
