AU Ambassador

The meeting with the Ambassador is interesting.  We spoke for awhile on war and the potential stakeholders and then drifted off for awhile to chat about global politics and development.

 

As we return to the subject of peace he recommended I speak with the Sudanese Ambassador and remain open with them.  He left me his card and said he looked forward to our next conversation when I can tell him everything is well on the way.  He feels like an kind friend now in a way that goes beyond the civilities of diplomatic discussions.

 

The discussion also helps me formalize and think through my presentation for the discussion with the next Ambassador.

 

Thank you to those who post comments.  My ability to reply online is limited due to some web filters here.

Fair trade is a key to promoting the standard of living in certain parts of the world. I have been in touch with a few coops in Africa through my internship here at Good Capital for the purpose of sourcing material for a portfolio company. I am interested in learning first hand from some one who has been there and seen how these coops function. Have you come across any such organizations during your stay there? Thanks - vp
