<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"></span><i></i><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Imagine a world in which everything that anyone outside the U.S. knew
about the U.S. came from the news. The
country would struggle to garner respect and admiration for itself. The only thing people would hear about is the
string of senseless gun shootings, racial attacks, and Donald Trump’s media
escapades around his presidential campaign – making it impossible for a
non-U.S. resident to form a positive opinion about the country.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">But thankfully, the U.S. is able to export so much more to the world
than its domestic news. It has a brigade of artists and musicians whose songs are played on radio stations around the world.
It has a bearded man to sell greasy chunks of fried chicken in red
fast-food outlets. It has citizens
working in organizations such as Peace Corps and USAID to dispel myths and
misconceptions about American life and culture.
It has the imagination and skill to recreate dinosaurs on the big-screen and enthrall
audiences from Adelaide to Anaheim and beyond.
The U.S. (and several other countries) through its own efforts and that
of others is able to spin multiple narratives about its country, culture, and
its people. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Why then are several developing countries stuck with a single, often
negative, narrative – that of being undeveloped and poor. Either they really have a single narrative to
offer the world, or there is a severe lack of narrators. In my experience working in three countries
over the summer, I have found the latter to be true.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">On my last weekend in Uganda, I made a quick trip to Kigali, the
capital city of Rwanda. As an
undergraduate student I raised funds for an organization that provided life-saving
HIV drugs to Rwandan clinics without knowing anything else about the
country. The only thing I had known
about Rwanda was that its population struggled with HIV/AIDS, and that they
were largely poor. That was the
narrative that stayed with me all these years in the absence of any other news
or information about Rwanda from personal discussions or from the consumption
of traditional and social media.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Kigali has to be one of the cleanest, and most organized cities in
the developing world. I looked hard but wasn’t
able to find much garbage on the streets or other public spaces, roads and
related infrastructure were top-notch, and there was a general civic sense in
following traffic rules and road signs.
How does Kigali achieve this? Partly
through a Government mandated community service program that requires all
citizens to partake in community building activities once a month. On probing further as to why this program
came about I learnt that it was established as a peace building endeavor after
the horrific 1994 genocide that killed millions of people from a particular
ethnic group in Rwanda.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">In his 2009 TED talk, Shashi Tharoor, former Indian Member of
Parliament and senior UN official talked about the importance and impact of
countries generating soft power, a way of attracting people to a country by its
culture, political beliefs, and foreign policies. He goes on to argue that McDonalds may have
done more to improve U.S. soft power than any formal policy or activity. In recent months, India’s Prime Minister has
rolled out one campaign after the other.
‘Make in India’ brands India as a manufacturing powerhouse, ‘Swacch
Bharat’ (Clean India) aims at bringing basic cleanliness and hygiene to the
forefront of Indian consciousness, while the more recent ‘World Yoga Day’ was
an endorsement by the United Nations of the significance of Yoga and by
extension, of India, the country of its origin.
<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">These campaigns can, and should, be viewed with caution. Unless backed by the right guidelines and
adequate resources, they could end up being PR campaigns that benefit the Prime
Minister’s next election campaign more than it benefits the country. However, I also realize the potential upside
of this if things do move in the right direction – more so after my experiences
this summer. It gives India the
opportunity to develop additional narratives for itself and its people, strengthening
its soft power. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Having a dominant negative narrative define a country and its people is
detrimental. It warps public
perceptions, impacts business and tourism, influences policy and Government
more than it should, and leaves us all with somewhat silly and misguided
biases. Johannesburg’s single dominant
narrative of being crime-ridden for example warped my own thoughts and actions a
few months ago. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">While driving to a performing arts show with a friend, she swerved the
car to avoid hitting a man who was laying on the street. He was delirious and was asking for
help. He could also have been drunk, or
putting on a show to get people to step outside of the car while giving him
easy access to their valuables, or maybe have an accomplice drive away with the
car. In that split second of decision
making I was shamefully unsure of how to react – stop and help someone that may
have been hurt or drive away. All the
stories of crime, mugging, and theft flooded my mind and drowned out my own
personal values. Thankfully my friend
who was in the driver’s seat got to make the decision, and she made the right
one of stopping to help. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Developing multiple narratives in my view is a democratic undertaking
that needs equal participation by Government, business, and civil society. Governments, businesses, and citizens are however
likely to be constrained by the resources available within the country. Access and penetration of the internet/cell
phones, stable Governments that support the growth of homegrown multinational
corporations, or the ability to connect globally in a universal language are
all factors that could inhibit a resource poor country from exporting more than
stories about its poverty and challenges to the world. Rwandan artists for example may not be able
to have the global appeal that American or British artists enjoy, their food
may not transcend borders the way Italian cuisine has, and its private sector
may need another decade or two to build global companies. But, maybe the story of how a country comes
together once a month to better their communities can prove to be an inspiring
and workable model for other countries.
And maybe this Rwandan story is worth sharing with other young
undergraduates who may still be fundraising for HIV clinics in Rwanda and
developing a narrow and negative narrative about the country the same way I had
several years ago.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<span style="line-height: 107%;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Just as the news headlines do not come close to
defining or capturing what it means to be American and living in America, the
same logic should be extended when thinking about developing countries. There are monumental challenges, and I am not
suggesting we pretend they don’t exist.
The media, aid organizations, and Governments are already focusing on building
those narratives but why don’t you and I focus on building more interesting,
nuanced, and constructive narratives? </span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Sri Lanka was a major coffee producer until the late 1800s before the major outbreaks of a
disease similar to coffee rust, a fungus that is a serious threat to coffee all
over the world (and a topic of interest in my current research of specialty
coffee in Costa Rica for my Masters project at the School of Natural Resources
and Environment.)</span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Then, in the late 1800s, tea cultivation was introduced by
the British. Sir Thomas Lipton and his business partners converted vast acres
of land into tea plantations, and revolutionized the tea industry, selling
individually sealed bags to lock in freshness. The new presentation and promotions of tea increased popularity of Ceylon tea, and the growing industry needed more workers. Tamils from India of the lowest caste were brought as migrant workers to work as tea pickers, given the most basic living conditions and hardly any wage. Increased deforestation of the jungle, and farming practices of
monoculture, the use of non-native species of trees on the plantations, and other cookie-cutter approaches led
to the current environmental state. Today there is heavy erosion all over the country, causing
the rivers to literally turn brown due to the excess silt. I was amazed to see
a country lush with endless bodies of water, and devastated to see many of them dark,
thick brown in color, only to hear that this was not the case thirty or forty years ago. The social and environmental cost of the tea industry was incurred a long time ago, but the effects are being felt today.</span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>

decide to only pick a few of the youngest leaves, enhancing the quality of the
cup. The estates that I visited in Nuwara Eliyah and Kandy regions had
some variation in number of leaves picked, but most common was two leaves and a
bud. Tea in Sri Lanka is mainly processed by machinery, much of which is dated
from the late 1800s or early 1900s. Hand picking and machine processing makes
it possible to ‘standardize’ quality. Ceylon tea has a consistently high
quality for the cup, but has low market price. Unlike in Japan, Taiwan or
China, where hand picked and hand rolled teas are easier to find, and prices
can be $100/kilo or more, Sri Lanka does not produce tea that is sold at these
specialty prices. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>However, there are
only a few smaller estates in the country that hand process their teas.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Their output is very small (I.e. A couple
dozen kilos per month of single estate, single origin tea).</span></div>

In other words, lack of rain, lack of sun, prolonged dryness or drought can make the tea plant go through a process that affects its flavor… (Now, it’s up to the consumer to debate whether this causes a better or worse flavor balance.)</span></span></div>

through the Tea Auction, which happens several times a week. The Ceylon Tea Auction is the single largest tea auction in the world where about 6.5 million kilograms are sold weekly. Tea agents and sellers who attend the auction must be extremely prepared. They try tea samples each week before attending, and prepare their valuation of each tea they are interested in buying that week. They must be very experienced to be able to taste the intricacies of each sample, and to be able to follow the fast pace of the sellers at the auction.

As part of my English literature class in middle school, we were
assigned a short novel written by American author John Steinbeck called ‘The
Pearl’. It is the story of a pearl diver
who chances upon an unusually large pearl – and in an attempt to change his
family fortunes he sets out to sell his new possession. The pearl however brings with it death,
misery, and misfortune. This forces the

While I had done some research and Google Image searches of
Johannesburg and Accra when I was in Ann Arbor, somehow I never got to
researching anything about Uganda – and so my mind was blank – I had no
expectations, good or bad. <o:p></o:p></div>

Kampala is one of the greenest cities I have visited, and Uganda one
of the lushest countries. My walk to
work each morning was alongside the long and windy Kampala Golf Course, and
when the smell of grass and trees overpower the black smoke that is emitted
from some of the <i>matatu’s</i> (shared
vans), you can be assured that the city has something working in its favor (even
if the pollution control board has much to be desired in terms or regulating
emissions). <o:p></o:p></div>

And even though Kampala is a beautiful and entertaining city in
itself (tons of cafes, restaurants, and bars, beautiful sites such as the
Gaddafi mosque and Baha'i temple, and the best avocados and pineapples in the
world) the time I spent outside the city has been most exciting. River rafting at Jinja - the source of the
river Nile, game drives through the never ending grasslands and plains of Murchison
Falls National Park, and canoeing and lazing around at Lake Bunyonyi in the South
West corner of the country. If I haven’t
been explicit enough, I’ll be even clearer – plan your next vacation to Uganda!</div>

It is now obvious to me why Uganda is known as the Pearl of Africa. I just hope that unlike John Steinbeck’s
pearl, this one isn’t exploited for personal gain but instead is respected,
awed at, and enjoyed in equal measure by everyone. <o:p></o:p></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Back in April I participated in a spice workshop held at
Zingerman’s by the Spice Trekkers, a family from Montreal who travels the world
buying high quality deliciously poignant spices directly from producers. Sometimes
they share their abundance of knowledge (and secrets) to curious workshop goers
like myself. Little did I know they would put me in touch with their ‘Cinnamon
friends’ in Sri Lanka, who would introduce me to the world of true cinnamon.</span></div>

the plantation, with its diverse plant and animal species, seeing how the cinnamon
plants are taken care of, and how a cinnamon stick is produced: cut and separated
from its wood, dried and processed. My new friends Sanath and Deepa showed me
what True Cinnamon is (delicate, soft) and what it is not (Cassia bark).</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">In most countries, an evergreen plant called Cinnamomum
cassia, or Chinese cassia is cultivated. It produces a bark that looks similar
to Cinnamon, and it is <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>often sold as
Cinnamon or blended with Cinnamomum verum, or True Cinnamon, native to Sri
Lanka. Cassia can be easily distinguished from Ceylon cinnamon as it has much
tougher, harder bark that cannot be easily ground with a coffee grinder, and the taste simply does not compare. As I stepped into the factory, I was blown away by the intensely sweet smell, and later when the cinnamon powder touched my tongue, I experienced the exquisite,
delightful flavor. The taste of Cassia does not even come close to Ceylon
Cinnamon, whose aroma is sharp; sweet and spicy at the same time. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

I learned that many of the challenges he faces as a producer and exporter of cinnamon are similar to those of producers of tea, cashews, and other products in Sri Lanka. It seems that across the
board, Sri Lankans are choosing to work in construction jobs rather than in the agricultural
sector. Hopefully<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>comfortable work
settings can help these agricultural businesses retain employees. I took a go
at scraping off the bark of one trunk, and was very satisfied with the comfortable seating and set up.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">I was thrilled to see many of these organizations
using clean energy sources to do everything from dry produce with solar driers
to chase bird and animals away—about the latter, think of it as an automatic, screeching
scarecrow with a solar panel. Each entrepreneur I met with had great stories. I
eagerly listened to their experiences, and I was equally excited to brainstorm ideas
with each of them about how to push their technologies even further. For
example, through these meetings we learned that many had no accounting systems
set up, and therefore had prices that were many times too low to have a
sustainable business. In other cases, we heard that they planned to teach
people how to develop their technologies, which contradicts the idea of growing
their own business. During these visits I noted many areas for improvement, and
with the IGE team, we have now developed trainings to help relieve many of
these issues and will be working one-on-one with innovators to help push their
development further. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

the foot of Mt. Meru, the city has a temperate climate with lush greenery,
abundant produce and vails of flowers. Expats flock here for NGO work and the
many tourist attractions the city brings. Hip English-clad coffee shops,
restaurants and boutique hotels made me feel less like I was in an African
country and more like I was in the Rockies. Points of interest near this city
include Serengeti National Park, Tarangire National Park, Ngorongoro
Conservation Area, Mount Maru, and the infamous Mount Kilimanjaro.</span></div>

allow me to take the long trek to Serengeti but I was able to catch a Safari at

personally done to develop her business. We heard success stories, saw
prototypes, and heard about the awards she has received to date. In speaking with
her, we learned that her innovations came from listening to the needs of
potential customers and designing solutions to address those needs—a sign of a
true entrepreneur. <o:p></o:p></span><br />

<br />
Post was completed the last week in Zambia (August).<br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
It’s hard to believe my time in Zambia and with Africare is
coming to a close! The second half of the summer really began to pick up speed
as the management team in Lusaka completed the final hiring process for those
individuals that will be working out at the two sites of the project; Lundazi
and Mansa. The M&E officer, project director, and officer in charge
extended contracts for the following positions: M&E assistants (2 per site)
and site contractor/building specialist. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
In July we all came together in Lusaka to collaborate as
a team and solidify the objectives and deliverables associated with the next 18
months of the project. It was a unique experience as Africare HQ individuals
were present, along with every other member involved in various aspects of the
ZaMs project. We discussed gaps in the project, constraints, budget
adjustments, community sensitization efforts, and the production of required
quarterly reports for the donors involved. Additionally, we assigned roles to
the incoming Boston University interns that are scheduled to arrive in Zambia
at the end of August. Various presenters, including myself, exposed site staff
to the proposed business plan, IGAs per site, and ongoing operational and
financial logistics. Overall, it was a highly effective conference. It was
great to see such collaboration amongst team members, all with varying roles
and responsibilities speak to their ideas or concerns in moving forward. I was
quite impressed with the openness and professionalism of the Africare HQ staff from
Washington; though they oversee the project from a distance, it was important
that they were brought up to speed with on the ground efforts here in Zambia.
In our talks, of course, were the ongoing concerns with the energy crisis and
lack of water supply in Lusaka and beyond. <o:p></o:p></div>

Outside work, I made a final in-country weekend trip to Lake
Kariba and the town of Saivonga. It is the largest manmade lake and reservoir
in the world and splits the border between Zimbabwe and Zambia. It was an
experience to say the least; much like my other personal travels in country! I
woke up early and walked for nearly an hour and a half just to locate the
correct mini bus area where buses were headed to the area I wanted to go.
(“Down this street, on your left”, “No, not here. Back that way a few blocks”,
“No, not here. Over that direction”) Yikes! I finally boarded the mini-bus
around 830 on what was supposed to be a 3 hour ride south to the lake. After a
flat tire, a broken wheel rod on the trailer, a 2 hour stop in the village
(because the bus wasn’t in fact going to Siavonga, but across the border post
to Zimbabwe) I finally caught a bus to the village of Siavonga. I arrived early
enough (4pm!) to head down to the lake and catch the sunset and I must admit,
my time spent there was some of the most relaxing and tranquil days I’ve found
during my entire visit to Zambia <span style="font-family: "wingdings"; mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-char-type: symbol; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri; mso-symbol-font-family: Wingdings;"><span style="mso-char-type: symbol; mso-symbol-font-family: Wingdings;">J</span></span>
It was lovely! (See attached pictures!) The ride back was great- I hitched from
Siavonga to the turn off to the border post without any issues and then managed
to hitch a lovely ride from there all the way to Lusaka from a South African
couple also visiting the lake for the weekend. I even met up with them later in
the week for dinner! <o:p></o:p></div>

<!--EndFragment-->Moving forward I am hopeful that I will be back to see
through some other parts of this project! In speaking with individuals from
Africare HQ, that I have been in contact with throughout the summer via e-mail,
and then at the conference, they were persistent on me coming back to Zambia
post-graduation in December. This project won’t conclude until May-June 2018 so
the opportunity still exists to come back and be a continued part of this
implementation project (Yay!) It is a bittersweet feeling to be leaving- though
I’m excited for certain aspects of the States again, I will miss the simplicity
(or lack thereof!) of this country. It has been a humbling experience to come
work for such an impressive organization. I can say that I truly admire the
work they set out to do and the projects for which they’ve completed. They
really stand for many of the things I value in an NGO and it was an honor to
work alongside them! Thanks Africare, I will miss you all! : ) <o:p></o:p>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12381666543975818186noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6931390160156052276.post-56460869035955340132015-08-10T00:33:00.000-04:002018-03-09T18:53:53.042-05:00Finishing Reflections<span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif";">Carlos Robles</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif";">I
started by working two weeks in Mexico City. These first two weeks were a bit of
a slow start since I was getting used to the city and trying to find a place to
work, as well as develop a work plan that would allow me to complete the
research objective. I could not find any contacts to interview during this time
in Mexico City, but I was able to find some valuable information regarding the changes
in the Mexican bankruptcy law after 2000 as well as a lot of background
information on bankruptcy practices. After the first two weeks flew by, I
headed to Argentina for nine weeks hoping to be able to interview local experts
about these processes. <o:p></o:p></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif";">I
had never been to Buenos Aires before, so I was really looking forward for the
opportunity to get to know the city and learn as much as possible about its
history, as well as the research objective. My favorite part of the project was
the high level of independence I had, because it allowed me to work from
different coffee shops around the city and get to see and experience the many
things that this beautiful place had to offer while working toward the project.<o:p></o:p></span><br />

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif";">My
host was the Universidad Astral IAE Business School in the
outskirts of the Buenos Aires. Similar to my time in Mexico City, my first
week and a half in Buenos Aires included learning a lot about how to get around
and where to go to get some work done. Once I was able to get in touch with the
people at IAE, I was able to set up a schedule that allowed me to work more
diligently on the project. They gave me my own work space in the area where the
PhD students worked, and I was able to meet some people that way, as well as
ask for their insights on any questions I had. Everyone was extremely welcoming
and accommodating, and I felt really comfortable there. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial";">Once I was more acclimated to the city and my schedule, I was able to enjoy weekends to do various cultural activities, such as museum visits, explore local restaurants, go to concerts, and (my favorite) weekly Tango lessons at a local coffee shop.</span> </div>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif";">To
say I enjoyed my time in Buenos Aires would be a huge understatement. I think
being by myself in such a beautiful, yet calm city, coupled with all I learned
along in the project really helped me feel like I grew a lot both
professionally and personally.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif";"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif";">Around my
fourth week in town, I made a really valuable connection with a prominent law
firm in the city. My interactions with two of the lawyers from this firm created
a lot of opportunities to meet important contacts that provided incredibly
useful information about the restructuring practices of the companies we were
interested in. Through that connection, I was able to interview the former CEO
of Fargo, which is one of Argentina’s most important food companies, but was
eventually bought out by Mexico’s Bimbo. Also through that connection, I was
able to attend a Boca Juniors game. This was especially great because those
games are actually closed off to members only, and tourists often have to pay
150 USD and up for a “tour” and game package, and I didn’t want to do that.
But, since I developed a good relationship with the lawyers at the firm, they
let me borrow their box seats for one of the games!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif";">On
top of the interactions with people, the process of getting information about
the project from different contacts was thrilling; I had very few connections,
so every time I talked to someone I was eager to ask them to further introduce
me to people knowledgeable on the topic. Thanks to that, I was able to set up
interviews with former CEO’s, Professors, and lawyers who were directly
involved in these processes, and who worked with the companies we were
interested in learning about. </span><br />

in Mexico<o:p></o:p></span></b></div>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif";">After
being in Argentina for nine weeks, I had a week left to work in Mexico City, and
luckily I was able to make a connection with a professor in Buenos Aires my
last week there who put me in touch with two of Mexico’s most knowledgeable
lawyers and professors in the topic of Mexican bankruptcy and debt
restructuring practices. With a lot more knowledge about bankruptcy proceedings
and a better understanding of the history of the impact of economic crises in Latin
America, my conversations with these two gentlemen really left me wishing I
could have spent more time researching bankruptcy practices in Mexico. I say
that because, on paper, Mexico has a very good bankruptcy law, but on practice,
it falls short of being effective due to the high levels of corruption and
ignorance of the proceedings in court. <o:p></o:p></span><br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif";">Reflecting
back on my experiences, I am really thankful for the way both countries
welcomed me. I already miss the amazing steaks and wine I had in Argentina and
also going to Tango classes on Sunday evenings. Mexico also left me with a
great sense of nostalgia, especially after being away for so long. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif";"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif";">My
experiences in both countries helped me realize I want to pursue a career that
allows me to travel and work on projects in Latin America, and they also allowed
me to realize how adaptable I can be and that I can thrive in very different
environments. Because of that, I am extremely happy I was able to be a WDI
Fellow this summer and I look forward to this upcoming year and to what will
come after graduation.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"></span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">As
I mentioned in the last post, the next entries will be focused on the research
I did in Argentina and Mexico City. I will talk a bit about the progression of
the investigation, challenges, and reactions about being abroad.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"></span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The
research project focused on the strategies used by multinational Mexican and
Argentine firms that filed for bankruptcy and whether they used their local
bankruptcy laws, or the United States’ Chapter 11 to restructure their debt. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Before starting, I did not have a lot of
background experience on this topic, but I was thrilled for the opportunity to
learn more about it.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Now
a bit on what I found. Argentina faced its biggest economic crisis in 2001 and,
long story short, one of the biggest problems was that the Argentine peso and
the U.S. Dollar were valued on a 1:1 ratio, and when the true convertibility
kicked in after the 2000’s, anyone who had debts in USD now had their debts
almost quadrupled. Among other factors in the crisis, this was a very severe
blow to the private sector. Because of that, there were a lot of companies falling
under financial distress. But at the time, proceedings to restructure debt or
file for bankruptcy were simply not very efficient. To change that, the
government reformed the law in 2002 to expedite those processes. The change
would be the equivalent to a Pre-Packed Chapter 11 in the United States, where
the debtor and the creditors come to an extrajudicial agreement and then
present it to the judge to approve the new payment plans. This made the process
a lot faster and more seamless. Due to this change, most companies opted to use
that process instead of seeking protection under Chapter 11 in the United
States, even if they did have some assets abroad.</span> <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 115%;">The most interesting finding,
in my opinion, was the fact that there were indeed some Argentine companies
that were involved with Chapter 11 in some capacity, five of the biggest
companies in the country, actually. But what was interesting was that the U.S. creditors
wanted to bring them to the United States to file for bankruptcy instead of
letting them do it in Argentina. However, these companies’ best interest were
served in Argentina’s courts, so they had to show the New York District Court Judge
that Argentina had bankruptcy proceeding similar to those in the United States.
This was all due in part to the change in the law of 2002. Since that change in
the law, a lot of Argentine companies were able to successfully restructure
their debts and continue operating.</span>WDI-3http://www.blogger.com/profile/12696992762359197212noreply@blogger.com0Argentina-38.416097 -63.616671999999994-85.961891500000007 -146.2338595 9.1296974999999989 19.000515500000006tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6931390160156052276.post-11161467212534501932015-07-30T18:53:00.000-04:002015-08-05T13:37:59.894-04:00Highlights! <div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
By Hester Bentil<br />
<br />
From my last blogpost, I promised to tell you more about my
wonderful and resourceful friend Eddie Oketta (EO) who currently manages three businesses
in Gulu, Northern Uganda. As much as I want to inspire you by telling you his
story, I don’t want to miss the opportunity to share some of my significant
moments while in Uganda. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #222222; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">As the saying goes, “everything that
has a beginning has an end.” All too soon, I am at the tail end of my summer
internship. Though challenging, it has been a great learning experience. While in Uganda,
I had the opportunity to interact with senior business leaders and influential
people, including the Senior Presidential Advisor on African Growth and
Opportunity Act (AGOA), Commissioner for External Trade, Ministry of Trade which
has been a great leadership development experience for me. You will agree with
me that interacting with all these professionals require mental curiosity and
the skill of asking intelligent questions while exhibiting high ethical
standards. Having the opportunity to interact with these leaders and
establishing great relationships has been deeply gratifying. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #222222; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Let me give you a background into AGOA and Ministry of Trade. AGOA is <span style="background: white; color: #222222;">a non-reciprocal trade preference program that provides duty-free treatment on U.S. imports of certain products from eligible sub-Saharan African (SSA) countries. The Ministry of Trade on its part facilitates trade transactions in Uganda. As part of my field research, I needed to engage with senior leaders of both institutions to gather credible information. Below are some pictures for my repertoire!</span></div>

me as a woman. With an IT background and deep experience in the creative
industry, she spends most of her time teaching and mentoring others as a way of
giving back to the community. She is famously known in Uganda for her luxurious
high quality furniture and accessories.</span></div>

It may seem all fun, but like I did mention earlier,
challenging at the same time. One of the challenges had to do with <span style="color: #222222; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">communication gaps which existed due to the language barrier (Nancy
Kasvosve, my fellow intern, you are not alone in this). Due to the historical war
in Gulu, most of the indigenes had no opportunity to complete their education
pursuits, a situation that has partly contributed to their inability to
understand and speak English fluently. This made communication with some
individuals (other than those in the formal sector) a bit challenging. The
worst case always happened anytime I went to the market to shop for food
ingredients - I was constantly faced with a communication barrier particularly
with impatient sellers, thus spending a greater part of my time on translation.
Such a pain!</span><span style="color: #222222; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><br /></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">When I applied for this internship, I honestly <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>did not think I was going to get it. I knew I
was a great candidate for it but the one thing I did not have was Portuguese. I
was sure if someone else with language skills was as passionate about this
position as I am I would lose it to them. Fast forward a few months later, I
landed in Sao Paulo having bravely given up an offer to be in my old stomping
grounds, Africa, for this novel experience in a new place . Armed with Duolingo
and a “Learn Brazilian Portuguese”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>audio
book, I embarked on my 13 week journey in Brazil.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">
</span><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">My first week on the job was already in the deep end of the
language struggle. It was a field research week where my boss took me around
Sao Paulo to conduct some market research through interviewing various stakeholders
relevant to renal services in Brazil. It was a very enlightening week of
meeting nephrologists, clinic administrators and patients and hearing their
thoughts on how to improve the delivery of renal care in Brazil; it was all in
Portuguese. My very first struggles were just trying to follow what was
happening around me and trying to stay awake. My boss would be typing notes
from the interviews in English in her laptop while I looked over her shoulder
and tried to follow the conversation. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Even though I did not have language skills, my
boss still had me at the interviews to observe and give a fresh perspective to
the things that may not be in the discussion and I followed along trying to
figure it what it is I should be looking out for.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>By the time we got to our second week of
interviews, I was armed with some vocabulary I had been amassing and a good sense
of rapport with my boss for following information<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>such that I actually learnt a lot in the
field. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">My social interactions have the more entertaining Portuguese
struggles stories. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">
</span><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">My coworkers love to tell everyone the story of how a guy
came to talk to me at a bar, and of course I masquerade as Brazilian through
the first<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>3 sentences of exchange, with
my flawless <i>oi, tudo bem</i>! His next words, "<i> Voce muito Linda</i>..."</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"> I replied "<i>Não,
meu nome é Nancy..."</i></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">My friend who had overheard the exchange was cackling in the background. Turns out, <i>Linda</i> is one
of the many Portuguese words that mean beautiful, but it is also a popular name of a
person where I come from. So while this guy was calling be beautiful, I thought he was saying my name is Linda, and I replied, no that’s not my name, is Nancy! Oops.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">
</span><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Then there is the story of my first date.</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">
</span><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">I am single, and an avid online dater and so are Brazilians
with way more apps than I knew in the US. I guess in a city of 11 million
people, you cannot have enough ways of meeting people. My first date though, was
a riveting experience. I had started texting with this one guy, in English, who
within a few days asked me out to dinner. I complied and showed up on a Sunday
evening at this restaurant in my neighborhood. To my dismay, my date did not
speak one word of English in person! After my Portuguese vocabulary pretty much
finished at <i>tudo bem</i>, and a handful of other phrases, I started thinking of ways
of<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>escaping what was surely going to be
a terrible date! <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He sensed my unease and convinced
me to stay and it turned out to be a really sweet and “normal” date, <i><b>that was
conducted entirely on google translate.</b></i> We chatted about normal date things,
like our jobs, families and the things we like to do. He even had some good
critical thoughts on healthcare in Brazil and he gave me a first glimpse into
how normal people experience the massive government funded initiatives that
hold up the <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Brazil healthcare
system.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We downed a couple of beers and
laughed and spend two hours together, <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>all entirely on google translate.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The people sitting around us must have been
thinking why these weirdos keep turn their phones to each other haha. Oh well do
what you gotta do.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">

<div class="MsoNormal">

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">It came <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>in the form of an invitation
to a country club from one of new friends, <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Maiara. She sent me a few youtube clips to clarify she meant Brazilian country music and I loved it! The
music was very relatable and felt like salsa, except Brazilians
dance to it a little different in a series of fascinating swinging moves they
call<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>sertaneja! It made for a fun night of, a live band, caipirinhas and picking up the swing of Brazilian girls! One thing though, except for my immediate group, noone else in that place spoke English, like I tried to chat people up to no avail. I then <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"></span>lost Maiara somewhere between the
bathroom and the dance floor and I went into complete panic mode about my
surroundings. A combination of the three caipirinhas I had enjoyed as well as
not having heard one word of English in 5 hours, drove my brain into frenzy.
<i>Where was Maiara, what happened to her, what if something happened to me and I had
no way of communicating it, and nobody understands me ? What if I get into a
cab alone and I do not know how to communicate where my home ?</i><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>When Maiara reappeared 5 minutes later it
felt like forever. The language struggle was more than real that night! </span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Over the summer I have however gotten to embrace my language
struggle. Duolingo was actually a big help in filling up my vocabulary so much
that I could understand what people are saying to me even if I cannot reply in
full sentences. I became good at a few survival phrases, and my co-workers find
in hilarious when I spit out my elementary Portuguese at random times of
conversation. On the flip side, I have been a local celebrity at the office.
Everyone wants to go to lunch and coffee <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>with me to practice their English and I am a
landmark in the office for where stuff<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>is, ohh<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>my desk is two down <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>by the girl who does not speak any Portuguese.
The biggest lesson from my language struggles have been patience, having some
and appreciating that of others. Most Brazilians have been willing to help me
understand things and I have had to learn to patiently learn and listen to
them.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Most of all communications comes
in many shapes and forms. I have gotten by with a buoyant personality, a little Portuguese, a lot of
sign language, a lot of reading body language and of course, thank God for technology,
google translate cue my date! </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
It’s been the same drill every day, irrespective of whether I meet an
influential Government official from the Ministry of Health or a community
health worker at a tiny health center outside of Accra. I sit down, make sure my phone is on silent,
take out my notebook and pen, and hear the words “You are welcome” with a 5
second pause that follows. If I took too
long and fumbled to find a pen in my bag, I would hear it a second time, “You
are welcome” – same tone, same patience, same warmth. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
Taking the term quite literally, Ghanaians I met didn't wait for you to be
thankful to welcome you into their space.
And so even though I know a formal thank you isn’t expected or required,
I’ll say it anyway. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<i>Thanks for being so warm – literally and otherwise</i><o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
Coming here from Johannesburg where winter was setting in it was good to feel
the heat and humidity. The cloudy,
rainy, humid weather was perfect and was a good consolation for missing out on
Bombay’s monsoon season back home. And if
the rainy weather is coupled with deliciously giant mangoes, how could I not be
happy and content. <o:p></o:p></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
But beyond the weather, people I met in Ghana exuded a warmth that
was genuine. I was invited over to join
a group of strangers at a restaurant when they realized I was dining
alone. A few Government officials didn’t
shy away from putting their hand on my shoulder while chatting with me (this
may seem as an invasion of personal space from a U.S. perspective, but from
another perspective it signals affection, friendliness, and cooperation). Colleagues made sure I knew about all the
vegetarian food options around work so I don’t struggle to find lunch. The kids and security guards around my apartment
building got a cab for me, helped load my suitcases in the trunk, said their
goodbyes and saw me off as though I were a close friend or family member.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<i>Thanks for being so safe</i><o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
Not that I am recommending it as common practice or even common
sense, but my ground level apartment door would inadvertently stay unlocked
every third night. I’d step outside for
something, come back in and forget to lock the door before going to bed. That’s how safe I felt. After safety and crime always being at the
back of mind thanks to the endless warnings I got in Johannesburg, it was a
great feeling to roam around freely again – not worrying if my wallet can be
easily flicked or if my phone is too prominent in my pocket. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
I felt safer in Accra than I have in some large U.S. cities.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<i>Thanks for being so fun</i><o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
It doesn’t matter whether you’re at the beach, waiting in the
check-out line at the grocery store, or traveling on a bus – dancing just seems
to be a way of life. If you hear music,
changes are extremely high that someone around you is being not-so-subtle about
swinging their hips, moving their hands, or tapping their feet rhythmically. Even though I didn’t partake in it myself, it
was fun watching people be so carefree and comfortable with themselves. </div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
But I know saying thank you is not the Ghanaian way of doing things,
so I’ll just end by saying, you are welcome. <o:p></o:p></div>

Julio Villasenor<br />
<br />
Have you ever thought how cool it would be if our eyes had
little cameras that could capture moments and the emotion behind them? This is
something that I find myself wishing for lately. Imagine it.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Blink. The image of a five year old boy with the biggest
smile waving to you when you pass by as he carries a bag full of branches
bigger than him on top of his head. Blink. The joy of seeing a truck that has
been bouncing you around all day being loaded with the mill necessary to make
porridge. Blink. The wonder of driving through fields on the back on a bike on
a night so dark yet so full of stars that it feels like the sky is a giant
black snow-globe that has been pierced by thousands of tiny needles. Blink. The
warm feeling of seeing a sea of little six year olds in their school uniforms
run towards you to shake hands and sometimes hug your legs. Blink. The sense of
peace as you watch sunrays and clouds play hide and seek behind rows of endless
hills. Blink. The awkwardness of having a stranger’s breast pop out. Blink.
Having another stranger pop out a breast. Blink. And a third one…</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Ok. Wait. My little eye-camera wish hasn’t happened and
those last blinks might need some explanation. After all, this is not that kind
of blog. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
As I mentioned in my last blog I have been going to Health
Care Centers to understand more about the healthcare system in Rwanda,
implement a small market survey and meet the women that participate in TIP’s
programs. Meeting these women is always a fun experience. I especially enjoy
watching how women handle and carry their babies. In Rwanda women will bend
forward from the waist, balance their babies on their backs and then drape a
piece of cloth over them, tie the blanket in the front and proceed with their
daily lives. The final effect is like a small strapless backpack with a little
doll head popping out of it. Sometimes they’ll also tie a blanket around their
necks use it as a cape Superman-style to cover their babies. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I was in a HC watching the woman in front of me do this simple
yet elaborate baby wrapping dance when the toddler next to her started pulling
at his mother’s skirt. The mother, who was midsentence, grabbed the baby by the
arm, quickly placed him on her lap and nonchalantly pulled out her breast for
some baby casual dining open-air style. All of this without the slightest pause
in the conversation she was having. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
So what do you do in this situation? Do you politely turn
the other way? Make eye contact followed by a slight “good job” nod? Stare into
space? Ask how you say “bon appetite” in Kinyarwandan? Pretend something super
interesting just happened in the opposite side of the room and turn around? I was
tempted to go for this last option but suddenly all the children started
pulling at their mothers who did the same exact thing the first one had done.
No corner of the room was safe, I was cornered by bare breasted breastfeeding
mothers… It was a feeding frenzy…<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The only thing is, I was the only one that was freaking out.
The rest of the room went on with the conversation they were having despite the
fact that half of them where flashing each other. Once I realized that the
skies weren’t falling and that what was going on was absolutely natural I
actually started seeing the beauty in the scene and was slightly embarrassed by
my initial reaction. You see, I am in Rwanda to help a business that is focused
on fighting malnutrition by giving people fortified porridge, but what if not a
mother’s milk is the original fortified food? What best way to fight
malnutrition than by breastfeeding? And if we are really getting poetic, what
best way to strengthen the bond between a mother and child?<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I guess at this point I should acknowledge that my mother is
a card-carrying member of La Leche League, a group dedicated to supporting
breastfeeding. I should also say that my amazing wife breastfeed our kid even
past the point at which it was no longer “socially cool”, which I have a
feeling is now sadly around the three week mark. So, if anything, I now
question when and why breastfeeding became uncool in the more “modern” world.
Don’t you think it’s a little bit strange that, as a society, we are obsessed
with super foods but whenever a mom super-feeds her baby people in the room get
super uncomfortable?<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Anyway… food for thought…… <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
But now that we are sort of talking about families, let me
tell you the quick story of how I spent father’s day this year. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The designated Sunday found me slightly hung-over (another
story) walking around Nyabugogo (the taxi-van/bus station) looking for my ride
home. I met a driver who recognized me and pointed me to his taxi-van. As I approached
it I noticed that the vehicle was already very crammed and the only remaining
seats were those in the first and second row next to the door. Not the best
seats because sometimes the taxi will pick up people on the way back to Ruli,
if the taxi is full (which it always is) and you are in one of the aforementioned
seats, people WILL seat on you. So, not feeling up to the task of potentially
being a stranger’s cushion I asked the driver if there was another taxi leaving
soon. He replied in the negative and so started an exchange that was partly English,
partly French, partly Kinyarwandan but mostly hand gestures the objective of
which was to get me in the taxi-van. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The driver, though friendly, was adamant and so I did what
any self-respecting modern day person would do: I pretended my phone rang and
somehow conveyed to the driver that it was going to be an important and long
call. Once the taxi-van drove off I finished my imaginary conversation and started
looking for a new ride. I soon found one, mostly empty, that was waiting for
passengers, so I took a seat in the corner of the very last row. While waiting
for the taxi-van to fill up, which took about an hour, I had the pleasure of regretting
the previous night’s beers, so when the engine came alive I had a mixture of happiness
at the prospect of finally getting home and dread at the road that would get me
there.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The taxi, as always, was crammed to the point at which I marveled
that I wasn’t fluent in Kinyarwandan yet simply by virtue of osmosis. As I
pondered these thoughts I made eye contact with a girl sitting two seats away
from me who had been looking at me inquisitively. She told me her name was
Leopold and asked me what I was doing in Rwanda. This sparked a small
conversation about me and my family so I brought out my phone to show her
pictures of my loved ones. Before I knew it the phone was taxi-van public
property; as it went through different hands people started commenting on the
pictures they saw and asking me more questions. The woman sitting in front of
me started having some form of argument with her husband; an argument that was
resolved when she grabbed my hand and, forgetting that it was still attached to
my body, pulled it forward to show her husband, seated in the row in front of
her, that there was a ring on it. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The rest of the ride home was a taxi-van conversation on
family, marriage, porridge, kids, the economy, health and several other
subjects. Everyone chimed in, everyone laughed at my broken Kinyarwandan and
everyone shared something about themselves. It was dark when we made it back and
as I walked home I reflected on the amazing father’s day gift I had just gotten:
I had boarded a taxi full of strangers and, by sharing pictures of my family,
by the time we got to Ruli I got out of a taxi full of new friends. </div>

that have brought a sense of cultural awareness to me. To those that picked me
up from an intersection and gave me a lift, taken me in their village for a hot
meal, and shared stories among stories (with many awkward laughs in between due
to the language barriers!). To the family in a town outside Siavonga that served
me up my first plate of local nshima and enticed me to eat with my fingers, to
the South African couple who let me ride in the back of their truck bed for
over 250 km and wished for nothing in return, to all the babies and local
children that let me run and play and act like a total kid again, to all my
fellow travelers I met passing through and kept me awake on long bus rides, and
mostly to this beautiful country and continent for confirming what I thought

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">I’ll be honest. I don’t want to leave this place- at least
not anytime soon. I’m mesmerized by this country and its people. I want and
need to see more. I need to travel across more borders, have more thoughtful
conversations with people that have come from other developed countries and
settled in these stunning places, squish myself in more mini-buses between a
mother, child, goat, back of rice, and sack of tomatoes, and mostly just feel
alive and genuinely happy. It has now been 3 months since my last latte from
Starbucks, my last pedicure, my last transaction with a credit card, my last
trip to the mall, my last double chocolate chip muffin from my favorite bakery
in AA and honestly… I don’t miss it! Sure, there are nights when I miss my bed
or my family or friends or would kill for a proper coffee but in reality the
need for all those things seems so distant once you’re immersed in a culture
like this and I’d like to hope and think and pray that I don’t forget this
feeling when I get home. Oh, and last thing- Africa I will be back for you. I
don’t know when or where or for how long, but I won’t forget you…ever! Thanks
for the experience J
Sorry for all the pictures, but I TRIED to pick out my favorites and it was

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"></span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">I have been abroad for nine weeks, two weeks
in Mexico City and now I’m completing my seventh week in Buenos Aires. If you
know me, and don’t know many details about the trip, you’re probably wondering,
“Carlos, I thought you weren’t allowed to leave the country? What changed?” And
if you don’t know me, you’re probably wondering why anyone would ask that
question. All are fair questions. Because of that, one of the goals of this
blog is to reflect on my experiences and the research I am doing through the </span><a href="http://wdi.umich.edu/"><span style="color: blue; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">William Davidson Institute</span></a><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">, and how that
project allowed me to go back to my home country, Mexico, after such a long
time away, and also travel to Argentina, a country I had always wanted to
visit. Another goal is to shed some light on the latest immigration policies
that allowed me to leave the U.S., and where they stand today.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Let’s start with a description of the trip’s
purpose. As part of the Master’s in Public Policy at the </span><a href="http://fordschool.umich.edu/"><span style="color: blue; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Ford School</span></a><span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">, we are to complete a policy related
internship or project. To that end, I applied to one of the William Davidson
Institute’s fellowships. My project is to research debt restructuring
strategies used by Mexican and Argentinian multinational firms that borrowed the
United States Chapter 11 law to restructure their debt after they fell under
financial distress. I will talk more about the project and the findings
themselves in a later blog entry.</span> <o:p></o:p></span><br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif";">With that in mind, I can now answer the
question of how I was able to leave, and why that is a relevant question. This
question is relevant because I <em>was</em> an undocumented immigrant. Back in 2010, my
brother and I were </span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif";"><a href="http://immigrantjustice.org/news/media-coverage-dreamers-carlos-and-rafael-robles-case"><span style="color: blue;">arrested</span></a></span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif";"> and put in a county jail for three days for
having over-stayed our visas and not having documentation on us while traveling
by train through New York. We were then in risk of deportation. After a long
process, and with the help of the National Immigrant Justice Center in Chicago,
we were allowed to stay in the country through Deferred Action for Childhood
Arrivals (DACA). DACA is President Obama’s 2012 executive order to grant
deportation relief and work authorization to undocumented immigrants who meet </span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif";"><a href="http://www.uscis.gov/humanitarian/consideration-deferred-action-childhood-arrivals-daca"><span style="color: blue;">several requirements</span></a></span></span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">Now, a quick
clarification, I said up there that I <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><strong>was</strong>
</i>an undocumented immigrant. Technically, that’s true, because now I do have
legal documents issued by the United States.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>This puts me in a much more comfortable and safe situation than before,
but DACA has many nuances. It does not let me apply for citizenship, it simply
protects me from being deported, and it lets me work and live in the United
States.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>With it, I can keep paying
income taxes, as I did before having DACA, and I am given a social security
card in order to get a driver’s license, but I cannot to collect social
security or receive any federal funds - like FAFSA. This form of relief also does
not allow me to leave the country for pleasure. However, if given employment,
educational, or humanitarian opportunities outside of the United States, I can
apply for what the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS)
calls Advance Parole, to take advantage of that opportunity and not be
penalized. If I left the country for any other reason, I would not be able to return.
Since my current research project is going towards completing a master’s
degree, USCIS granted my Advance Parole, and I find myself writing this blog
entry from a coffee shop in Buenos Aires while listening to some live Tango
music. It had been eleven years since I had been outside of the United States.</span> <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Being in Argentina is by far one of the best
things I have experienced, but the highlight of this trip was being back in
Mexico after such a long time away. When I was fourteen and brand new to the
US, I really wanted to go back home and would think about it incessantly. But
after the realities of our situation settled in, I made peace with the fact
that such a trip was very unlikely in any near future.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Eleven years later, I realized I had the
opportunity to apply for a project that would allow me to return; I did so with
caution, knowing that there was the possibility of getting Advance Parole
denied.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It took about two months to get
an approval, and even when I received the notice it was still hard to make
sense of the feelings. I knew it meant I could finally go back, but it had been
a long time since I had thought about that. I was excited to return, but I had
no clue what to expect.</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">

<span style="font-family: "arial";"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">To keep this from getting too long, let’s fast forward to my arrival in Mexico. The first thing I noticed once there was that Mexico City is a mess! One beautiful, beautiful mess, that although may deserve some of the bad reputation it has, does not nearly get enough credit for all the positive things it offers.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>As one of the most populated cities in the world, anywhere you go, you will likely find a crowd of people. Being there, I realized how much I missed being able to talk to everyone and ask for what I wanted just using my Spanish and not having to worry if they’d understand or not. I missed making all the jokes I wanted with family I hadn’t seen in years. And hearing everyone around me yelling things in Mexican Spanish, some hilarious, some gross, but all so refreshing.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>One of the things I tried to do while in the U.S. was to maintain a full fluency of Spanish, which I think helped in making everything<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>feel so strangely familiar, even after all the years. I didn’t have to worry about anything getting lost in translation at all, and I could just focus on everything that was going on around me. Being able to walk down the street and really smell from some of the worst scents to some of the most delicious, mouthwatering ones that led you to a bakery, tacos, or a restaurant, all amazing.</span> </span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif"; font-size: x-small;">I was also able to easily get
used to their public transportation that, even though it is chaotic, takes you <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">anywhere </i>you need to be, and quickly. This
level of comfort allowed me to fully enjoy this amazing city that somehow manages
to maintain its roots while also being incredibly modern. There is such a rich
history and so much to learn and see; from ancient ruins, to the Soumaya Museum;
from street food, to some of the best restaurants in the world. I felt so fortunate
to be there, and happier than I had been on a trip in a long time. While I was
there, the only thing I was missing was my family, because they still have not
had the chance to leave the U.S., and while they are happy for me, I know they
wish they could have been there just as much as I had.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">To begin closing, I don’t really want you to
read this post and only take from it (aside from my love for Mexico City) that
being undocumented in the United States is a really difficult experience, and
have you try to relate to it. It undoubtedly is difficult. Instead,
I’d rather bring your attention to the fact that there just is <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">no</i> real federal solution or way for
“low-skilled” immigrants like my family, and their children to migrate to the
U.S. legally. And when they do make it there illegally, and they lead productive
and law abiding lives on after, there is no way for them to apply for a legal
status, even after years of contributions to the country. The closest we have
come is DACA, which only applies to children of immigrants, but even that is at
stake now. Last February, a Texas judge issued an injunction before an
expansion of the program was to take place. Two key features of the expansion
were to get rid of the age cap for applicants, and also extend deportation
relief to parents of U.S. born children. Since the injunction, millions of
people still have to live their lives with extreme caution, tip-toeing their
way to work and school every day.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">With that shift in focus, I want you to be
aware of what you can do. If you find yourself in a position where you can
change policies or interact with people who are undocumented, please realize
that you can help beyond only being aware of our issues. Institutions and
employers alike need to know that the federal government often does not have institutional
restrictions set at a national level. That means individual institutions can
increase services for undocumented immigrants without federal permission or
negative consequences. Some brief examples are: issuing private funds as
scholarships, passing in-state tuition at universities, conducting professional
development for human resources staff, or issuing healthcare and providing a
fair wage to employees. None of those are dictated by federal regulations, and
have a huge impact on people’s lives. And while there is no solution being put
forth by the government, a change in our institutional practices can trigger a
change in our mindsets, and ultimately lead to the change we have been working
for.</span>WDI-3http://www.blogger.com/profile/12696992762359197212noreply@blogger.com0Mexico23.634501 -102.55278399999997-5.1045930000000013 -143.86137799999997 52.373595 -61.244189999999975tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6931390160156052276.post-3172612167535492292015-07-16T15:18:00.001-04:002015-08-05T13:41:48.447-04:00Of ZAMs & SMAGs in Zambia<div class="MsoNormal" style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: white; color: black; font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal; font: 13.33px/normal Tahoma; letter-spacing: normal; margin: 0px; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 1; word-spacing: 0px;">

This summer I was given the opportunity to work with Africare Zambia. We began work on a three year project that aims to demonstrate high-quality entrepreneurial Zambian Maternity Homes (ZaMs) and evaluate if the model is operationally and financially sustainable, thereby improving equity of maternity access care for the most vulnerable and marginalized populations in the Lundazi and Mansa Districts in Eastern Zambia. <br />
<br />
Phase I of the project was completed late last year and with additional funding from Merck and the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, phase II was able to build upon what research and data analysis was obtained from phase I. Maternity homes, or residential dwellings located near health facilities where women in the late stages of pregnancy can stay to await delivery and receive postpartum services have been used previously in a variety of settings as a 'geographic bridge' to overcome distance and transportation barriers that prevent women from receiving obstetric care in a timely manner. Unfortunately, implementing maternity homes tend to be small-scale, unstandardized, and ultimately failed to be responsive to community needs.<br />

The initial weeks of my summer were spent gaining an insight into the organization of Africare itself and getting myself familiar with where the project currently stood, who I would be working alongside, and what tasks I would most dedicate myself to. Certainly before I came to Zambia I had ideas and visions about what this work would look like, but truthfully once you’re on the ground it almost feels like you are a part of it all because we’re such a close group of colleagues. Rightfully so, the IT individual can easily be connected to our financial director, who’s then tied to all of us, on the ground or not. So, it became clear to me that though I would have certain objectives and tasks, I would become very familiar with the logistics of everyone’s part on the project very quickly.<u></u><u></u></div>

Recently we wrapped up solidifying what exactly our ZaMs accountability structure would look like- see below. Ideally we wanted to construct it such that it is not only sustainable in the short-term with us on the ground, but that once we depart, the oversight and management of such facilities (ZaMs) continue to operate in efficient manner. <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-QXdL-47ycx0/VafrvPZroXI/AAAAAAAAAAM/RJVK1PfUB8g/s1600/Accountability%2BModel.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-QXdL-47ycx0/VafrvPZroXI/AAAAAAAAAAM/RJVK1PfUB8g/s320/Accountability%2BModel.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
You’ll see in the red box where I most dedicated my last month of time to: Maternity Home Committee, ZaMs Caretaker and ZaMs Coordinator. You’ll see that the community-supported ZaMs model is accountable to the community and to the government through the Ministry of Community Development and Mother and Child Health (MCDMCH). Additionally, the Maternity Home Committee is made up of 6-10 community-elected representatives from Neighborhood Health Committees, health facility staff, Safe Motherhood Action Groups (SMAG) members, and traditional community leaders who will make up the governing structure of each ZaMs. Our hope is that this structure promotes government recognition of ZaMs as an integral part of the health facility. We believe that incorporating MCDMCH and local government throughout the implementation period will in turn lead to a seamless transition to full government oversight post-project. Long-term operational and financial sustainability is essential to the success of the ZaMs model thus much of our time is devoted to these two topics! <br />

<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">Many organizations in China
are working to offer “high end” services with all the latest technologies and
procedures. Despite all this effort throughout the country, there is not much
progress in reducing the prevalence of avoidable blindness. China's Cataract
Surgery Rate, a key metric of the effectiveness of a country's overall
healthcare system, is barely 1,000 cataract surgeries per million population
per year, compared to 5,000 in India despite its far lower per-capita GDP, and
6,000-8,000 or higher in industrialized economies.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">Vision in Practice has
partnered with Xiantao Aipu Hospital in China, and Aravind Eye Care System of
Madurai, India, to transform eye services at a typical eye hospital in rural
China into a sustainable model of international standard, patient-centered eye
care available to the entire community regardless of patients’ ability to pay.
The project I’m worked with was focused on a two-pronged approach to meet the
challenge: raising the standard of eye care through clinical training and
streamlining of patient care processes in collaboration with Aravind’s LAICO
consulting arm; and transformative leadership training to establish within the
hospital a culture of service and continuous learning.</span></div>

Xiantao alone for such a long time, but also all the work is what I have not
done before. I enjoyed doing the interviews and talking with the staff. It makes me
feel like a journalist, for which I tried to do better every time.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">My mission may have changed from the beginning of the
internship, and I was learning and working a bit slowly during the time, but I still
hold the passion for the job and wish to continue the work in the future with
better performance. I’ve grown interested in journalism since the internship helps
me figure out the crucial of writing and communication skills in the work of a
researcher dealing with people and qualitative training.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">The major task of my three-months internship was to design
the interviewer’s guide, interview the staff there and put together a
questionnaire for staff satisfaction.</span><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">During the one and a half months, I talked to most of the
staff members, I had more than twenty recorded interviews and chatted with
patients in the outreach camps. I’ve got a comprehensive idea about the
operation of the hospital and the thoughts and feelings of staff about patient
care, their colleagues, and the work they do.</span><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">I enjoyed this as talking to people is one of the most
interesting jobs one can find. With different tone and questions, you can dig
out various kinds of information. And through conversations they will show you
the clear and genuine part of themselves, all the words they cannot say will be
unveiled in their gesture and expression.</span></div>

the project and the prosperity of ophthalmology in China, truth is they still
need to make huge progress to change the situation for staff, environment for
patients and trust for their partners. I can’t forget hearing the complaints
from patients, the disappointment from employees and difficulty in the progress

collaboration with Vision in Practice helped me learned more about what I
haven't seen in my home country. The brand new experience taught me how to
cherish what we have and give out what others need. Life is simple while living
is complicated. Everyone should take chance to experience different lives and stick
to our own dreams.</span></div>

<br />
Previously on "<em>Thousands of Experiences in the Country of a
Thousand Hills</em>,” I rambled about my experiences in Rwanda, a picturesque
landlocked nation. Before I realize, two months has gone by. It was time for me
to continue my Quartz journal. (Quartz is a <span style="background-color: white; color: #545454; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: x-small; line-height: 20.22px;">digitally native </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #6a6a6a; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: x-small; font-weight: bold; line-height: 20.22px;">news</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #545454; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: x-small; line-height: 20.22px;"> outlet. I like the style.</span>)<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
Before that, I have to say “don’t underestimate yourself! You
will never know what you are capable of!”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
By saying that I mean I am really surprised that I have been
having the exactly same lunch for five days a week in two months. This comes
from someone from China where there are countless food choices and one could
possibly not be able to try all in his entire life. I believed that I would at
some point get sick of it; however, the reality is quite the opposite: I still
have the craving for the same every day when it’s approaching noon. Oftentimes,
the thought of it is enough to make my mouth water, even at the moment of
drafting this blog.<o:p></o:p></div>

Now, my rambling starts:<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>Protest like a party!<o:p></o:p></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
In my limited knowledge and experience about protests, there
are usually a mass of angry people holding signs and shouting slogans. I was surprised
by how “merry” the protest was weeks ago in Kigali.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
It happened when Rwanda’s General Emmanuel Karenzi Karake,
the 54-year-old director of the country’s intelligence services, was arrested in
UK as he is wanted by Spain on charges of war crimes, which date back to the
1990s. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Hundreds of Rwandans gathered in front of British High Commission,
demonstrating against the arrest and demanding his release. It was one-minute
walk from where I stay; therefore I witnessed the entire process.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
At the initial stage, there was the anger part that fit my “stereotype”
of a protest. I remember that it lasted at most a day before it turned into a “party”
after they set up a whole set of stereo on a pickup. In the following three days,
they played upbeat local music and danced to it or occasionally sang local
songs. 24 hours non-stop. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I am a big fan of dance. Whenever there is music, my body
can’t help moving. It is like a reflex. When I was at the site, I encountered dilemma
between my body and mind. My body had this urge to swing but my mind strongly
forbid such move, shouting to my body that it was not a joyous occasion and that
their dancing did not mean I could do the same. As a foreigner, I kept reminding
myself that I have to be sensitive and respectful. One night, some bottles of
beer with a friend relaxed my mind. On my way back home, my body beat my mind
when I passed by the “party.” I joined them and danced together with the
protesters. They cheered.<o:p></o:p></div>

<b>Met someone beyond my
imagination!<o:p></o:p></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
What if someday, someone you can only read about in tales showed
up in front of you? <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Growing up, I always heard of stories about a human child
raised by a wolf, a bear or other animals. To me, it was an entertainment like
reading Tarzan of the Apes. It rarely occurred
to me that it is actually happening in real life, until the moment when an 11-year-old
boy was sitting next to me in a bus, gazing at me with the purest smile I have
ever seen.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Being a foreigner, I have gotten used to the intensive stares
from local people. This gaze from the boy was different which made me want to
meet but at the same time avoid. I felt there is definitely a story behind that
gaze I want to know but I am not sure if I could handle. A little bit chubby,
unusually dark in skin color and in white T-shirt and pants, he kept talking to
me in a language which I was not sure whether it is a legitimate language. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I turned to my colleague sitting at the other side of me,
asking for help to understand what was happening. To my greatest surprise, she
told me the boy was raised by a gorilla and was found and brought to human
society two years ago. He grasped the skill of walking upright not too long
ago and is now learning to speak human language. What's more, he only wears white.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
My colleague did not have a clue
of what he said either. At every stop, the bus driver teased him by calling him “gorilla.”
I doubted he could understand that. What he did was smile and talk in the way
that only made sense to him. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
After I asked more people about him, I knew that he was left
by his parents in a forest during genocide as his parents believed that it was
the only possibility that the baby could survive. He did and I believe he is
happy. <o:p></o:p></div>

<b>My little best friend!<o:p></o:p></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
So far, I have talked nothing about my work. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The company I am interning at is Nuru Energy, a social
enterprise based in Kigali. It offers off-grid solutions to people living at the
base of the pyramid without access to electricity. The job involves a lot of trips to villages
which is my favorite part. There I met with local villagers and tried to understand
the impact Nuru has brought to their life. (Check out the FB page and "Like" it: <a href="https://www.facebook.com/nuruenergy?ref=hl">https://www.facebook.com/nuruenergy?ref=hl</a>)<o:p></o:p></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
Most of families in rural Rwanda are still struggling with
basic needs. Kids are wearing tattered clothes and walking barefoot on dirt
path and in mud. Many of the households are able to afford one meal a day. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I met this kid, Blaise, my little best friend, during one
field trip delivering lights to families. Like other kids, he was curious to
see a Muzungu (foreigner or white people) and greeted me after morning classes.
Later, he came back. Sitting beside me, he tried to talk to me with the basic
English he knew. Communication was not smooth or effective. In the entire afternoon, he followed me wherever I went. He always tried his best to strike a conversation,
even though I could not know how to respond. Sometimes he just stood or sat with me quietly
as company. He was shy but smiled a lot. Not like some kids, he did not
approach a Muzungu to ask for something. From the occasional talk, I felt his
strong curiosity and longing for knowledge about the outside world, even his
country’s capital Kigali which he had never been to. Many villagers joked about
us being best friends already. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
It seems true on some level. It was not long and we did not
talk much, but somehow I felt like we had known each other for long. From what
I understood, he wants to be a nurse when he grows up because he wants to help
people. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Before I left, I gave him my
phone number and UM name card. Since that day, he has been texting me through
WhatsApp using different people’s phones. (That’s the case: many people don't
have electricity but they have mobile phones.)</div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
I know that someday I will come back to that village and
meet my little best friend again. I know that someday I want to take him to
Kigali, to United States, and to China.</div>

countryside.<o:p> The </o:p></span><span style="mso-bookmark: OLE_LINK2;"><span style="mso-bookmark: OLE_LINK3;">Marketing team in the hospital holds an outreach eye camp every week to
look for potential patients. People in Xiantao are within middle-income group
in China, although to them the cost of surgeryis still too high to afford. Fortunately,
Aipu has an agreement with the Health Department that all the costs of patients with
New Rural Cooperative Medical Service could be covered by their insurance. Two
days ago we had the biggest one since I’ve been here in Guohe Town.</span></span></div>

They seem like having been waiting for this eye screening so
long that no one want to wait one more minute. The elders keep asking hospital
staff all kinds of questions till they got satisfied answers. I’ve told the
ophthalmology disease is bound to happen when people grow old, but most people
in the countryside won’t take it seriously until they turned blind, when the
effect of surgery will be less remarkable. Hospital coming here with free
surgery is like savior to them. And the ambulance is truly a symbol of
brightness and warmth into their lives.<o:p></o:p><br />

200 people and nearly half of them have different kinds of eye disease in
different extent. The next day, some staff members drove to Guohe again picked
up lots of patients who were waiting to get treatment in Aipu hospital. What
they did is really impressive under fierce market competition. It moved me deeply seeing how the staff care
about patients and how devoted to their job. During my early interviews on
their feeling and knowledge about the job, I also realized how to make most
value in your ordinary position. The key is to love what you are doing, love

<span lang="EN-US"><i>This blog
was written for my first week in South Africa: June 9 to June 15. Apologies for
being late getting it upload and… no pictures! Stick with me – I’ll have a picture for week 2.</i><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">Last Fall
semester I took a Public Policy course called,</span><span lang="EN-US"> </span>“<span lang="EN-US">Social Activism, Democracy, and
Globalization from the Perspective of the Global South”. It’s taught by Yazier
Henry, a South African. At the beginning of the semester, Yazier warned us,
“It’s my job to challenge you. It’s your job to accept the challenge.” I found
it difficult at times to keep up my end. He pushed and challenged every
flippant response, “You said, ‘interesting’? What does it <i>mean</i> to be interesting to <i>you</i>?”
<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">Over the
course of the semester, we were to develop our own key findings. Each student gave
several presentations. Our final project was a twelve page paper, using only
the texts/films assigned for the class (we were given a heavy load – which I
resented at the beginning and was grateful for when it came time to draft the
paper)!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">My
classmates presented a range of topics – identity as a white male, identity as
a Native American, racism and injustice, prejudice and politics in the
education system, victim of sexual abuse and rape, losing one’s heritage. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">Mine was
arrogance. In class, I defined arrogance </span>as having an exaggerated sense
of importance or superiority regarding one’s perspective. <span lang="EN-US"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">In one of
our class </span><a href="http://calternatives.org/resource/pdf/African%20Modes%20of%20Self-Writing.pdf"><span lang="EN-US">readings</span></a><span lang="EN-US">, the author discussed how Western scholars
have studied Africa, while viewing them as “other,” and being “other” meant
being inferior. As a result, they gave “off-the-cuff” explanations; painting
Africa as a dark abyss, where events happen without warning (suddenly a civil
war!). Since the scholars assumed they had all knowledge and understanding,
they then labeled Africa as the problem - it must be incomprehensible. However,
these scholars had not learned the local language of the people they were
studying, or acknowledged the gaps in available text. They are attempting to
learn (to study) without the humility of being a learner.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Now, here I am in South Africa, and my first week has been a
constant reminder of the importance of being a learner and humility.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Hopefully, no one reading this has done some of the things
I’ve done this week: lied about knowing what a value chain is (and then
dragging the awkward moment out by trying to bluff through my explanation),
raced my fit friends in an uphill, trail event (…only to have to eat a humble
pie when I saw them next: finished, rested, and a supportive cheer-squad when I
finally made it to the finish-line) and resented that my excel sheet needed
some simplifying (hindsight: three <span lang="EN-US">colors</span>, three fonts, and multiple grid boxes are too much).<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I’m finding humility is subtle. It’s in a thank-you. A clarifying
question. Asking someone to repeat themselves. Allowing my ignorance to show.
Acknowledging someone is being gracious to me; and appreciating the gift. A
willingness to be led. Seeing myself as a small player in a larger
conversation. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Don’t get me wrong. I have something to offer. However, I
have a lot to learn. Most of what I have learned about South Africa has been
second (or third) hand. There are some things I will never understand, or be
able to do. It’s embarrassing to say – this is something I’m still coming to
grips with acknowledging! <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Way back in September, Yazier was pushing me to give more –
stretch myself beyond a flippant response. I’m only starting to see now the
benefit of his pushing, and hope this summer I can finally say I’ve accepted
the challenge.<o:p></o:p></div>

feelings I had buying my first ORS-Saline for 5 Taka will probably rival that
of purchasing my first car. I get a smile on my face when I see those orange
packets sitting in a small shop in a most remote village of the most remote Sunamganj.
You see, it took many strategic years for this life-saving commodity to be
universally accessible and affordable. The BRAC-SMC ORS scale-up in Bangladesh
was my hook into the health delivery niche and will always be one of my
favorite stories. I also get really excited seeing the SMC Blue Star and
Smiling Sun franchise clinics.</span></div>

wetlands are only conducive to growing rice and breeding fish. Vegetables and
fruit are few and expensive. As a vegetarian this means being content with the
same meal three times per day. For many of the poor and extreme poor quintiles
though, this can mean high rates of malnutrition and long-term health consequences. The government provides free vitamin supplements for mothers and
children to attempt to aid this crisis, but there is still a long way to go.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

So, do you remember my first story? Traveling in an old
rugged bus on a bumpy road from Kampala (Central Uganda) to Gulu (Northern
Uganda). If you do, then let’s continue the adventure. So I wish that was my
last trip on such a horrible road but unfortunately I had to use the same road
back to Kampala albeit this time on a
comparatively better bus coupled with the excitement of going to Kampala (the
city of good stuff ). My consolation! The innate excitement overshadowed the journey
and fatigue- You can imagine!</div>

Having lived in Accra Ghana, I was convinced I had been
toughened enough to withstand the hardships of a city life-style, however my convictions
changed when I got into Kampala. A look at the traffic situation in the capture
below provides some perspective.</div>

While in Kampala, I also had the opportunity to attend a
Leadership Training workshop facilitated by a team from Chick-Fil-A, USA. This training
curriculum was developed by an industry leader in customer care, a $4.2Billion
company, Chic-Fil-A, to train its business leaders. The team included several
operators of multi-million dollar Chick-Fil-A businesses in the USA, known for
their outstanding customer care. I’m
glad I attended!</div>

Before signing off, I want to give you a gist of my next
blog. I have found a Ugandan friend - my
personal boda-boda (motorcycle) driver. Not only is he a bodaboda driver, he
works as a transportation broker as well as a timber dealer. I’m sure I’ve got
you thinking, how is this person able to manage three arduous jobs. Watch out
for more about Eddie Okette, EO for short! For now I can say he’s been a very resourceful
friend!</div>

Lounging on a chair by the apartment I either meet KB while he's
browsing the internet on his phone or while he's engrossed reading his French
novel. A big fan of Brazilian football, Malaysia and the Netherlands feature
high on his travel bucket list. Even though I don’t speak French, which is KB’s
first language, it's been easy to talk to him about journalism and the
differences in food, culture, and lifestyle among African countries.<o:p></o:p></div>

KB is the live-in guard at the apartment building I am staying in. <o:p></o:p></div>

If I met him in a different setting he could just as well be a
colleague at work or a friend from school.
Originally from Guinea, a former French colony in West Africa, he gave
up on a University degree to come to Accra in search of work so that he could
help his family – parents and 6 siblings.
Convinced that he can do better, his next goal is to get to Europe. Last weekend we researched ticket prices and
visa requirements for various cities in Europe – he wants a cheap one-way
ticket to get out of Africa and earn a higher wage in Euros or Polish Zloty.<o:p></o:p></div>

His is not a story I haven't heard before. Bombay would probably be the best place to
find millions of similar stories of brave and bright young men and women who
come finding work, better pay, and a means to help their family. But whenever I have been surrounded by these
stories in India, they have been buffered by a large gap that, as I realized
last weekend, never allowed me to identify with them wholly. They were always stories of the other. It was the story of the pot-bellied building guard
that doesn’t speak English, the 40-year-old who sweeps the floor who has
trouble operating a non-smart phone, or the grocery delivery man who probably
couldn’t identify 3 countries correctly on a world map. Over time, the social buffer between us made
me almost indifferent and made the stories themselves routine and uninspiring.</div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; tab-stops: 337.65pt;">
There is no visual or otherwise identifiable social buffer between me
and KB. His interests, music
preferences, language, dressing, and goals are ones I can easily relate to as
my own or that of friends. And with the
collapse of an identifiable social buffer, his story hit home unlike any other
had all these years. I felt helpless, inspired,
unintelligent, and many other things – but instead of trying to identify
exactly what I felt, I am happy that I still had the ability to feel at all. <o:p></o:p></div>

area and has ten branches around Hubei
Province aiming at eliminating avoidable eye disease. The Xiantao
hospital is the first and largest one of the group and major patients are the
elders. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
During the past weeks, I got along really well with the
people here. They’ve treated me like an important guest. Besides my work, I have
had three rounds of transformative leadership training with the hospital staff,
which is among the three main aspects of the project. Every round last for one
week and nearly all of the 70 employees took part in them by different batch.
They have provided me profound understanding of the project going on in the
hospital and knowledge of the staff.</div>

During outreach eye camp, I found people grow plenty of lotus in the countryside and have the
roots made into different kinds of dishes. It is worth mentioning that there is
one kind of food only offered in Xiantao through the whole country, which is
called baby lotus.<br />

A
year and a half ago I came to the University of Michigan’s Ross School of
Business in order to jump career paths, and find a role that was more
interesting and impactful than my previous life as a consultant. I wanted to be
a “Double Wolverine”—returning from almost a decade in New York City to the Ann
Arbor streets of my undergraduate days. One of the main reasons why I chose
Ross was because of its strength in Entrepreneurship and Social Impact. I was
intrigued by the challenge and potential rewards that both of those realms
could provide. That is why it was the perfect opportunity when WDI posted a
fellowship listing to work with Land O’Lakes International Development’s <a href="http://idd.landolakes.com/Where-We-Work/Africa/Tanzania/Innovations-in-Gender-Equality-to-Promote-Househol">Innovations
in Gender Equality</a> (IGE) to Increase Household Food Security program in
Tanzania. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
In
Tanzania, smallholder women farmers carry out most of the time and
labor-intensive activities in agriculture, including farm preparation,
planting, weeding, harvesting, transportation, storage and processing. They are
also responsible for food preparation, which makes them the gatekeepers of
nutritional security and dietary diversity for their households. This is a
critical role, as 42 percent of children under the age of five suffer from
stunting and 16 percent are underweight. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Moreover,
limited decision-making power, biased socio-cultural norms and unfavorable
regulations reduce women’s access to finance, land, technical training, labor
saving-equipment, and other productive resources. Because of this, there exists
a high barrier for women to lead technological innovation, entrepreneurship,
and legal and regulatory change throughout the agricultural sector. <o:p></o:p></div>

That’s
where IGE comes in. Funded by USAID, the program seeks to promote household food
security through the development of local capacities to enhance women’s status
and empowerment in the agricultural sector. The program focuses on four main
areas: agricultural technology development and dissemination, building
community awareness on issues affecting women’s empowerment, supporting
national policy changes for gender equality in agriculture, and promoting
programmatic sustainability of IGE initiatives. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
My
role as a WDI Fellow is focused on the first main area: accelerating the
advancement of agricultural innovations and technologies from the product
prototyping, validation and piloting phases to the commercial production and
scaling phases. Through various innovation expos conducted by IGE, local
entrepreneurs showcase their products and services in order to compete for
grants of up to US$ 100,000. My main focus is to consult with the selected
innovators to help accelerate their businesses and to provide training and
support in early stage business development.<br />
<br />
My main focus areas include: </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 38.25pt; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
<ol>
<li><span style="font-size: 7pt;"> </span>Increasing the business acumen of IGE-affiliated entrepreneurs through
the development of training materials, the support of incubation trainings, and

<li>Consulting with individual innovators on their business models and
business plans and providing guidance on future access to external funding</li>
<li>Analyzing and enhancing IGE’s current social media marketing strategy</li>

Upon
arriving in Tanzania, I was not sure what to expect. I had recently spent a
month in northern India with my incredible <a href="https://michiganross.umich.edu/programs/map">Multidisciplinary Action Project (MAP)</a> team
working to enhance the financial inclusion of women in self-help groups, and to
develop their entrepreneurial capacities. The project was both challenging and
extremely rewarding and I was now hoping to bring this experience to the IGE
program. I was also excited to explore a new region of the world. Tanzania is
home to the beautiful island of Zanzibar, Serengeti National Park, Mount Kilimanjaro,
Lake Victoria, Ngorongoro Conservation Area, Tarangire National Park, and Lake
Manyara, to name a few. The World Economic Forum Competitiveness study from
2011 named Tanzania second (only after Brazil) in terms of the richness of its
natural resources. Needless to say, I was excited and felt blessed for this
opportunity to spend my summer in such a beautiful country doing exciting,
impactful work. I knew, however, that this would be a challenge and a new area
of work for me. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
My
first few weeks of the program consisted of program orientation and meetings
with IGE leadership. The IGE team consists of experts in agriculture,
nutrition, gender initiatives, policy, microfinance, and entrepreneurship. I am
lucky to have had such a kind, supportive and talented team with whom to work. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
After
concluding my orientation, I quickly prepared for Expo 4, the fourth IGE
innovation competition, which was held in Morogoro, the agricultural heart of
Tanzania. More than 20 innovators, out of an initial applicant base of more
than 75, were asked to come to the two-day event to compete for funding and
capacity building support. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The
products and services selected had to be innovative, made out of local
materials and impactful for women in agriculture. Technologies presented
included mushroom-growing innovations, solar driers, coal briquette producers,
multi-functional crop tilling machines, palm oil extractors and more. Each
innovator was given five minutes to present, and a panel of judges followed up
with five minutes of Q&A. At the end of day one, 10 innovations were
selected as potential recipients for an IGE grant. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
On
the second day, an initial orientation was provided to the winners and
trainings were conducted on how to build their budgets and statements of work.
I then conducted a Needs Assessment presentation at the end of the day in order
to gather information on the innovations that would later be used to help
develop a capacity building strategy.</div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
At
the close of the event, I was even more excited to work with these innovators
in developing their ideas and supporting their businesses’ development over the
remainder of the fellowship. I know this internship will be challenging, but I am excited to get hands-on experience working with the design, maintenance and
scale of early stage start-ups supporting Tanzanian women in agriculture. In the next few months, I will engage in one-on-one capacity building meetings with these entrepreneurs and help develop trainings based on their needs. I will also work with the IGE team to provide insight into external sources of funding and try to build a stronger social media presence for the program. Moreover, I look forward to exploring all of the beauty Tanzania has to offer and sharing my experience on this blog for readers to learn more and enjoy.<br />
