We spent about 4 hours yesterday combing through business plans. There's was everything from cafe's to farms to microfinance organizations. Some are excellent, astute observations and explanations of their target market and the market inefficiencies that they solve. Some still need a little bit of work--like questioning, "who is going to buy this?" Its so great to be doing some business-type consulting. Even though a finance degree is about the last thing one wants in the US right now, its turning out to be valuable in Africa. It turns out that financial reporting and projecting is one of the areas that are a little less emphasized in the curriculum.
As far as pictures on the blog. We're working on it, I'm going to try right now. But no promises, The computers in Uganda are from the 1800's and don't have all the fancy software plugins needed to load pictures. Not to mention that the whole nation runs on dial-up. Yeah, its pretty slow.
