The majority of them have no access to clean and safe sanitary products, or to a clean and private space in which to change menstrual cloths or pads and to wash. Poor protection and inadequate washing facilities may increase susceptibility to infection, with the odour of menstrual blood putting girls at risk of being stigmatized. Therefore it’s important to have access to clean water and always wash your hands first before touching your genitalia. #globalhandwashingday @wateraid_ghana #wash #menstrualhygienemanagement #faytexcaresforyou #unicef (bij Accra, Ghana) https://www.francinecarron.com/blog/we-love-the-beyonce-freedom-song-for-idg-have monthly 0.5 2017-10-14 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5652277fe4b0991ab315ae73/1691653867252-ZN56YW5NK9M0C37ZMMGP/tumblr_oxtswoQGkO1ubz1fbo1_640.jpg Blog We love the @beyonce #freedom song for #idg - Have you all seen it ?

Its been a while that I have posted but I am going to take it up again… and I failed. So this time around I am not going to begin like that. I dont even remember how I was sometimes able to post daily such long articles…With age I must have gotten slower (laughing to myself right now) I actually waited to this date specifically to announce the new title of my blog that better reflects the work I do today. Today it is International Day of a Girl Child and the company I am currently consulting for empowers young girls. Hence the choice to publish a revamp specifically today! Three years ago I started with the blog microfinancemasala. It covered my work as a microfinance branch manager and expert (volunteer) trips to North and East Africa relationg to microfinance, business development, labour unions and entrepreneurship. Two years in the position I left and began working independently as a financial inclusion consultant. However, financial inclusion related matters arent my only capabilities. I have plus 12 years of experience in business development for SME’s, corporation, NGO’s, INGO’s and labour unions. I consider myself a global manager with expertise in financial reporting, PR & (off)online communications, marketing, sales, staff development, governmental affairs, strategy development, community management and menstrual hygiene management. I am a professional with a purpose. In order to reflect my capacities better and the consultancy I provide I changed the name of my blog from microfinancemasala to The Inclusion Masala! This means financial inclusion, general management, corporate affairs, community management, business development and gender management. This summer I even worked as a on site general manager of Magritte Knokke Heist. A virtual reality art pop up on the beach in Belgium. My tasks covered everything from staff management, event management, adminstration, customer relations to financial reporting and so on. I will defenitely post some pictures about this later but what I have been dying to talk about is the current consultancy. Like I said professional with a purpose ! I am currently being a (consultant) corporate affairs and community manager for Fay International ltd. They are the sole producers of safe and sanitary pads in Ghana, West Africa. I emphasize the words safe here as these pads do not contain any chlorine, dioxine, plastics, rayon, laytex or other chemicals. With these pads girls arent allowing dangerous chemicals to enter their bodies and develop cancers. Due to the organic cotton in the pads, they are very friendly for tropical weather. No more itching and scratching due to the heat and laytex touching your skin. I have tried them myself and they are so soft. (You would want to wear them all the time just to feel the softness.) These pads are produced under the brand name Faytex in Accra. The factory is mostly completely made up of women and was founded by a woman. The mission of the company is to provide safe and affordable healthcare to all the regions in Ghana. Safe as their are too many dangerous foreign substitute on the market and affordable as many of the Ghanian girls cant afford pads. Period. Through their corporate social responsiblity program: Faytex finds it their duty to englighten young girls in menstrual hygiene management. There is a high level of absenteism in schools due to taboos around menstruation, improper explanations and just the fact they cant afford sanitary pads. Therefore, together with senior leadership I am developing strategies to exectute their social cause and make Faytex accessible across Ghana. One program that we are currently rolling out is the Faytex Ambassador program. This program will allow young girls to enhance their own leadership skills by teaching their peers menstrual hygiene management. As one knows from my microfinacemasala blog (articles remain available) on this blog, everytime I work on a new project I am completely devouted and passionate about it! No more posting everyday but defenitely every month. (and hopefully more) Lets celebrate this new project with me and more importantly International Day of the Girl because nations that take care of their girls will prosper! Help me empower girls! Today we stand (actually everyday) against sexual harassment, equal rights for girls, proper menstrual hygiene management, education and bringing girls on top!

Love to all women whether they are taking care of their households, are entrepreneurs or employed. Truth of the matter is women work multiple jobs every day. We try to be caring mothers, take care of our husbands, children, support our colleagues, prepare three meals a day and attempt to shatter glass ceilings. However, everyday we are put through either perverted comments on the way to work (at work) or even to the store. We don’t get paid equally no matter the amount of degrees we have and some of us get a nice portion of racism on top of that. Whether you are living in a developed or underdeveloped country; The reality is the same. Some countries have indeed better laws but it doesn’t take away of how women are treated everyday (with disrepect) in daily life. Sometimes the West is just better at hiding their tactics of female discrimination while other countries publicly state it. We are all suffering the same faith and for that I am standing here today with my fellow sisters around the world! https://www.francinecarron.com/blog/p-right-on-time-to-still-wish-a-happy-new-year monthly 0.5 2017-01-24 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5652277fe4b0991ab315ae73/1691653869349-7PXG3PCGXBBBZV5CORS5/tumblr_okabripRCu1ubz1fbo1_1280.jpg Blog p>Right on time to still wish a Happy New Year ! My promise for 2017! It’s been a while since I have written on the blog. I am thinking the last time I blogged I was on mission in Burkina Faso. The past 2 years, I was very active writing articles on my blog and due to an even more overloaded work schedule I had to reduce my online presence. However, I am hoping to find a good balance this year with about one post a month. That is my online promise for 2017! I did take down Facebook and Instagram as I would like to keep my social presence purely professional. So no more time wasting about where I went for dinner and what holiday I went on. This way I can focus on good articles and keep you guys interested in working for the informal worker rights and microfinance. The first day back at work: My face appears on this year’s diversity calendar of the Belgian Liberal Trade Union as slogan - Together for 2017 ! 2017 is the year we all must work together - solidarity is the key word to unite people. However, many people including new presidents use these words but will the end result be the same ?? Well looking at our calendar it is easy to see that the union stands for diversity, respect and solidarity. Solidarity is reflected into our union program MIS Movement for International Solidarity or in Dutch ~ BIS (Beweging voor Internationale Solidariteit). This Year my 2 focus countries will be Congo and Burundi. We have split the tasks of managing East & West Africa. After our mission in Burkina Faso we realized that the workload of combining East & West Africa was too much. I am very excited to soon be traveling to Congo, to see the work of the Kananga union in action. The focus here is on women. I don’t want to go to much in detail on the program as I want to dedicate a post to this particular gender empowering mission soon. End of 2016 ? I am writing about 2017 and the plans but how did I close 2016 ? After Ouagadougou I went on a training about development aid. I thought I knew it all and questioned why I had to go to 11.11.11 for an introduction to development aid. I wrote my master thesis on the fourth pillar of development aid … I have worked in the field and from the desk. Well, I was wrong ! I learnt many new aspects. 11.11.11 took us through the history of development aid. The politics of binding aid and non binding aid. Binding aid is the most common form of development aid in which donor nations only send funds if there is an economic, political or military return for themselves. Yikes ! Dirty … however binding aid policies were a trend once before and are now back again. Didn’t President Trump say we should have taken Iraq’s oil?… Well, development aid is leaning more towards the ‘what is in it for us?’. Meaning what is in it for the Donor States. Development aid has been scrutinized over the years as it hasn’t been working like it should over the past decades, but it isn’t development aid alone. Immensely huge figures of development aid are always shown to the tax payers but how much of these figures are actually real? For example, if a donor country cancels past governmental debt - this figure can be included in the development figures as money spent. Although no actual money was wired; therefore certain amounts are counted for double. I was definitely not aware of this! Most people think that most African nations depend on development aid while this is not the case. Only the poorest nations do but even then it is not sufficient. A good example is Burkina Faso, the poorest country in Africa that depends largely on aid. 11.11.11 also presented the EFQM quality model of the Belgian NGO sector, a commitment to excellence process for development aid. In development aid we have a lot of reporting. Sometimes even too much reporting. Donor countries want to be able to measure everything and sometimes I wonder if we have entered the era of development aid for reporting ? Let’s see… I read the 2017 report of the government policies in relation to aid… time will tell!

Due to the distances it was quite a challenging project but I enjoyed it so much. I learned a lot about Moroccan culture and most of all the struggle of Moroccan women in their society that is slowly leaning to be more women friendly. As a wrote before project such as AFEM supported by the King of Morocco are ideal. Many foreign development agencies are keeping themselves busy with coming to aid to the development of Moroccan business leaders. My task was to provide 2 coaching sessions in each city. In Antwerp I prepared a Business Model Canvas presentation in order to easily develop a business plan. This is a good tool for revising maybe your strategy in the existing company and for the starters to develop their business plans. Also Moroccan female aspiring business leaders can request to be in the program Min Ajliki. This is an incubator in which the women whom passed the selection committee receive 18 months of free coaching and office space. The second coaching session I prepared was marketing and social media marketing. My favourite ! The female business leaders seem to be also most interested in marketing and social media. All the women were very highly educated which is opposite of our customers at microStart. No one was less than master qualified. The majority of them were industrial engineers. A few had given up and started their business to avoid the corporate struggle with men. Working twice as hard to be respected on for half of the work. Find below some of the activities planning to be launched or already started: (The names are probably misspelled.) Karima: Personal Development Coach Hama: Artisinal custom made carpets Hadjida: 3 star hotel in El Jadida Fatima: event marketing company Saida: language centre Ream: safe toy company for kids Wafa: daycare Jalal: Communication PR Haicha: interior design Gena: pret a porter Karima: Ecological products Fatima: corporate consulting Zena: coaching computers Naima: painter Jihenna: pret a porter Marianne: pret a parter Khadija: steel company The other names I really couldn’t understand but there is still a glass company, HR consulting bureau and an online archiving company. Definitely worth the projects ! Giving these trainings in French, being flexible at all times, staying relax and entertaining women from another culture is another skill I can add to my CV. Working with Chahine Majoub from APEFE was a dream! Nothing was left to coincidence only well organised meetings. https://www.francinecarron.com/blog/prayforistanbul-sultanahmet-istanbul-turkey monthly 0.5 2016-01-12 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5652277fe4b0991ab315ae73/1691653916514-A7HUCAH9W4FUNUOBC2O3/tumblr_o0uwkkpSfv1ubz1fbo1_640.jpg Blog #prayforistanbul #sultanahmet #istanbul #turkey 12/01/16 (at Casablanca, Morocco) https://www.francinecarron.com/blog/todays-group-of-participants-female monthly 0.5 2016-01-12 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5652277fe4b0991ab315ae73/1691653917034-JLMBSG60N9VR0A8Y0S2B/tumblr_o0ukgtAkB81ubz1fbo1_1280.jpg Blog Today’s group of participants/ #female #businessowner of #morocco ! #training in #businessmodelcanvas @exchangevzw #apefe #afem #casablanca (at Hotel Idou Anfa) https://www.francinecarron.com/blog/casablanca-apefe-afem-are-you-ladies-for monthly 0.5 2016-01-12 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5652277fe4b0991ab315ae73/1691653917289-5J2NVMANZHLIXT6MZO35/tumblr_o0u1whQVId1ubz1fbo1_1280.jpg Blog #casablanca #apefe * #afem Are you #ladies for your next #coaching session on #entrepreneurship ? @exchangevzw #morocco (at Hotel Idou Anfa) https://www.francinecarron.com/blog/public-holiday-in-morocco monthly 0.5 2016-01-11 https://www.francinecarron.com/blog/social-media-storm-in-morocco-this-is-the-title monthly 0.5 2016-01-11 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5652277fe4b0991ab315ae73/1691653917520-TPB0YT1HF2YULEZBHYBN/tumblr_o0sf9ija8K1ubz1fbo1_1280.jpg Blog Social Media storm in Morocco.

It is not only a perfectly preserved example of the #alouite dynasty’s architectural style, but it is the final resting place of three significant members of the #royalfamily. Here visitors and locals are able to pay their respect to these leaders and marvel at the detailed and beautifully designed mausoleum. It is both a tomb and a mosque and the Mohamed V Mausoleum is one of the few holy places that are open to the public. The Mausoleum of Mohamed V is located in the Yacoub Al Mansour Square and stands across from the Hassan Tower, another building that was commission by King Hassan II. It is easily recognizable by its white walls and green-tiled roof. The interior has been finished in white marble and granite floors and walls and a beautiful granite block with a headstone indicates the final resting place of the great king. The sliding doors and ceiling have also been carved in breathtaking motifs and designs. Spectacular chandeliers light up the room that is complete with red carpets on the stairs and flags.

EL JADIDA Yesterday, we held the second day of trainings in Tangier. This time I was giving a coaching session on marketing and social media. I prepared an interactive session in which the participants had to create a logo, slogan for their company, find key words for SEO and learn how to use and choose hashtag words. There was also an introduction to the latest applications such as snapchat. It was very obvious during the training sessions that there was a generational gap amongst the future entrepreneurs. The young Moroccan ladies in their twenties ready to develop their startups and the older generation in their forties who run existing enterprises. The clash was very obvious amongst the believers of the power of social media as a marketing tool and the non believers. Yet I managed to convince the trainers/coaches of ANAPEC to utilise social media to reach out to their audience. After another lovely French lunch in Hotel Farah Tangier we headed out to Casablanca. It was a 4,5 hour drive. We had quite some traffic on the way. Chahine Majoub (Senior Manager of APEFEASBL Morocco) and I had a longgg conversation on the road. It is fantastic to experience a culture, a country this way. These missions are a learning experience for me as well. The female Moroccan entrepreneurs, the members of AFEM and passionate, professionals such as Chahine Majoub inspire me to even do better. Morocco is really growing on me. I am starting to feel as if Morocco is a better version of France. Not only the climate is better but the openness of the Moroccan people is very charming. The willingness of the young generation to develop to become something is fantastic to experience. Today, this Friday we left early in the morning for another 120 Km to El JADIDA. A town outside of Casablanca in the province of El Jadida. Due to circumstances, the coaching began much later in the day and so I adapted the entire schedule. We had a full day of business model planning and marketing. We managed to crush 2 days of training into 1. The candidates were extra ordinary. One woman is developing custom made carpets through local cooperatives. Another woman is developing a secure toy start up company and developing a master franchise for children education. One is opening a psychology consult in office. Another young woman owned a language institute. Amongst the existing entrepreneurs was a hotel owner, a metal company owner and a consulting firm QSE. All of the women had 1 or more masters or MBA. Big Bravo to all of them! I will be posting later links to their companies for all of you to like & hopefully support! Inshallah Finally we have made it back from EL JADIDA! Chahine Majoub gets to spend time with his children as we have been traveling together for a week. It’s a three day weekend so you won’t hear me complaining. :) https://www.francinecarron.com/blog/road-from-tangier-2-casablanca monthly 0.5 2016-01-07 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5652277fe4b0991ab315ae73/1691653929462-Q2SDUKW6JJZWENYOMUM7/tumblr_o0loz8oLyG1ubz1fbo1_1280.jpg Blog Road from #tangier 2 #casablanca #beautifulmorocco #northafrica #thistooisafrica (at Casablanca, Morocco) https://www.francinecarron.com/blog/45-hours-on-the-road-tangier-to-casablanca monthly 0.5 2016-01-07 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5652277fe4b0991ab315ae73/1691653929478-VAANV5KZ7A8XEYRX7P5N/tumblr_o0lomv6ZPl1ubz1fbo1_1280.jpg Blog 4,5 hours on the road ! #tangier To #casablanca #northafrica to continue our mission to #coach #morrocan #female #enterpreneurs in #entrepreneurship #socialmedia #marketing supported by #apefe #anapec @exchangevzw https://www.francinecarron.com/blog/ready-to-start-a-marketing-socialmedia-coaching monthly 0.5 2016-01-07 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5652277fe4b0991ab315ae73/1691653930155-EOU5VMIG27YLSCO3R6ZL/tumblr_o0krjybtNb1ubz1fbo1_1280.jpg Blog Ready to start a #marketing #socialmedia #coaching session for #morrocan #female #enterpreneurs working on their #startup in #tangier #northafrica Last day in this city, moving to another city to give more #trainings supported by @exchangevzw #apefe (at Hotel Tanger Farah 5 Etoiles) https://www.francinecarron.com/blog/day-1-the-art-of-entrepreneurship-at-9-am-the monthly 0.5 2016-01-06 https://www.francinecarron.com/blog/they-are-definitely-well-organised-and-my monthly 0.5 2016-01-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5652277fe4b0991ab315ae73/1691653929933-OOM9AJIBMY3K9F3783P8/tumblr_o0jawiMtrL1ubz1fbo1_1280.jpg Blog They are definitely well organised and my #coaching efforts are being rewarded deliciously! #morocco #tangier #northafrica @exchangevzw #apefe #afem #anapec #entrepreneurship #startup (at Hotel Tanger Farah 5 Etoiles) https://www.francinecarron.com/blog/lunch-with-the-morrocan-ladies-soon-they-will monthly 0.5 2016-01-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5652277fe4b0991ab315ae73/1691653930315-TNZH1KWORG4E4CH5UL0N/tumblr_o0jah09t4s1ubz1fbo1_1280.jpg Blog Lunch with the #morrocan ladies.

Last one for 2015  The choice of this week goes to Austin who set up Austin Beenhouwerij in the area zip coded 2060 in Antwerp. Austin Beenhouwerij as it is called is located in the Dambruggestraat 26, right by our microStart office. Austin, is the first black butcher (Nigerian origin) in the neighbourhood and maybe even in town. His customers arent only Africans but everyone in the neighbourhood and those who would like to visit the black butcher ! Austin, barely has any private time as the line outside his office is huge. Austin created a well running in a very short time. He definitely is a poster entrepreneur for the saying ‘Entrepreneurship is the new retirement’.  https://www.francinecarron.com/blog/last-day-of-work-happyholidays-merrychristmas monthly 0.5 2015-12-18 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5652277fe4b0991ab315ae73/1691653944692-6XN1J0YGCQO9O26N7ZGQ/tumblr_nzjo0mIBIr1ubz1fbo1_1280.jpg Blog Last Day of Work! #happyholidays #merrychristmas #microstart #antwerp #microfinance https://www.francinecarron.com/blog/christmas-gift-from-the-microstart-agency-in monthly 0.5 2015-12-17 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5652277fe4b0991ab315ae73/1691653944753-IXWNNP3U9GY96AQZ28K5/tumblr_nzi0248CFl1ubz1fbo1_1280.jpg Blog #christmas gift from the #microstart agency in #liege ! #chinesecat We are going to need it next year! #microfinance #microcredits #entrepreneurship #startup #microfinancemasala (at Centre Ville Liege) https://www.francinecarron.com/blog/on-the-way-to-liege-microstart-teambuilding monthly 0.5 2015-12-16 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5652277fe4b0991ab315ae73/1691653945592-VTRYHRZOBDZEBN4G4XNJ/tumblr_nzfu9xFA1a1ubz1fbo1_1280.jpg Blog On the way to #liege ! #microstart #teambuilding ! #lovemyteam https://www.francinecarron.com/blog/pray-for-burundi monthly 0.5 2015-12-14 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5652277fe4b0991ab315ae73/1691653945586-2AYJYOPSCGKMJM15AIHT/tumblr_nzcuxlfUyG1ubz1fbo1_1280.jpg Blog Pray for Burundi http://www.aljazeera.com/news/2015/12/dozens-dead-streets-burundi-capital-151212133807154.html https://www.francinecarron.com/blog/its-that-time-of-the-year-again-iceskating monthly 0.5 2015-12-13 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5652277fe4b0991ab315ae73/1691653945948-XV6VB34266P6RY677AVI/tumblr_nzb8aoKnl61ubz1fbo1_1280.jpg Blog It’s that time of the year again…. #iceskating with my son ❄️❄️ #winter #christmas (at Groenplaats) https://www.francinecarron.com/blog/when-your-colleagues-get-you-a-birthday-donut monthly 0.5 2015-12-11 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5652277fe4b0991ab315ae73/1691653946033-4B6EJS9A86379US5ZGDA/tumblr_nz7f31q4io1ubz1fbo1_1280.jpg Blog When your colleagues get you a birthday donut! #microstart #birthday #microfinance https://www.francinecarron.com/blog/customer-of-the-week-dave-van-luyck-chocolatier monthly 0.5 2015-12-11 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5652277fe4b0991ab315ae73/1691653946223-GCGA740ZQA0JSXDU8UQT/tumblr_nz76yg5gLT1ubz1fbo1_640.jpg Blog https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5652277fe4b0991ab315ae73/1691653946621-DT1Y152LJ625Q44G0COE/tumblr_nz76yg5gLT1ubz1fbo2_640.jpg Blog https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5652277fe4b0991ab315ae73/1691653946944-Q3UB0OM5XHWQNL0P2XJD/tumblr_nz76yg5gLT1ubz1fbo3_640.jpg Blog https://www.francinecarron.com/blog/when-you-attend-multiple-events-in-1-night-and monthly 0.5 2015-12-10 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5652277fe4b0991ab315ae73/1691653947426-R620L6EXH532RE0ZIHRB/tumblr_nz5wwty7OR1ubz1fbo1_1280.jpg Blog When you attend multiple events in 1 night and start collecting badges… The best quote of the night was : “Female equality in business only exists when there are as many incompetent women as men in powerful positions!

It was my first coordination meeting for Exchangevzw and I was super excited. I got to introduce microStart and compare it to Microfinance in the South. A presentation that took me a while to make. I am afraid it was actually still a bit too complicated :s Junior Chamber international also came to present their organisation and how their member network involves civic engagement. I have agreed to become the country coordinator of Uganda for Exchangevzw so this first meeting was very important to me. I can’t wait to dedicate my dream time to this position.

The reason I am following this session is that microStart also gives ‘halal microcredit or shariah conform microcredits. We received a fatwa for our microloans via Embassy of Egypt in Paris. However, there is so much more about Islamic finance than receiving a fatwa. Firstly, one has to understand the real economy meaning real jobs not virtual financial turnarounds. Secondly, Islam needs to be understood. Thirdly, the idea of risk sharing has to be comprehended and the mindset has to change. A small note he mentioned which is food for thought trying to understand Islamic finance is about the Islamist index. The Islamist Index is an analyses of all countries in the world to check how Islamic they are. The most Islamic country was New Zeeland. The first Islamic country on the list was Maleysia taking the 34th spot while Saoudi Arabia came 120th. Israel even came before Malaysia.

We had talked the entire way both professionally and private. It was through Karina that I got to know FXB and gave the tea Union (UCTCCN) the idea to work with FXB Village in Gisenyi. The project is currently being worked on in Rwanda. I had told Karina that I would be in New York for Thanksgiving and would come say hi. So we met up this afternoon in the city. It was great seeing her again, catching up on her experience and my experience in Rwanda. Work at FXB seems to be going pretty well and hopefully I get to meet her soon in a different country! This is the reason why you need to talk on flights, a project was started and new friendships were made. Oh her son is the cutest! In the photo: Karina and I in NYC! It all started by meeting on a flight… Sounds almost like a love story doesn’t it ;) https://www.francinecarron.com/blog/tao-porchon-lynch-yesterday-it-was monthly 0.5 2015-11-27 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5652277fe4b0991ab315ae73/1691653953367-4OW45DG145VF1IN7EUAG/tumblr_nyh7yn7ibs1ubz1fbo1_1280.jpg Blog https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5652277fe4b0991ab315ae73/1691653953517-OMQ45JPNE7O2Y8KC18ZQ/tumblr_nyh7yn7ibs1ubz1fbo2_1280.jpg Blog https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5652277fe4b0991ab315ae73/1691653953892-T77VNYJYLIR08P2DWLTH/tumblr_nyh7yn7ibs1ubz1fbo3_1280.jpg Blog https://www.francinecarron.com/blog/arrived-in-newyork-this-afternoon-no-more monthly 0.5 2015-11-24 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5652277fe4b0991ab315ae73/1691653954137-6MPTQXF260AEFPOHJ2ZF/tumblr_nycatmX4gK1ubz1fbo1_1280.jpg Blog Arrived in #newyork this afternoon.

Get ideas for all levels of action here: Things you can do from your couch Save electricity: Turn off the lights and appliances when not in use, including your computer. Share, don’t just like. If you see an interesting social media post about women’s rights or climate change, share it so folks in your network see it too. Do a bit of online research and buy only from companies that you know have sustainable practices and don’t harm the environment. Things you can do at home Air dry. Let your hair and clothes dry naturally instead of running a machine. If you do wash your clothes, make sure the load is full. Take short showers. Bathtubs require gallons more water than a 5-10 minute shower. Eat less meat, poultry, and fish. More resources are used to provide meat than plants. Things you can do outside your house Shop local and smart. Supporting neighbourhood businesses keeps people employed. Plan ahead to avoid buying too much food, and bring your own bag. Bike, walk or take public transport. Save the car trips for when you’ve got a big group. Use a refillable water bottle and coffee cup. Cut down on waste and maybe even save money at the coffee shop. Take advantage of your right to elect the leaders in your country and local community. These are only a few of the things you can do.

The owner, King Franky of Nigerian descent has been working for years on this project and every year it has been growing bit by bit. Shakuma is African fitness, we all tried it outside our office and I assure you the workout is not a joke. After 10 minutes we were beat! However, the rhythms of the African beat keeps you going. The concept could be compared to Zumba but much better. Shakuma Fitness is now selling licences for franchises. Do you want to become a Shakuma instructor or bring the concept to your country?

ask me why I fight for things that I have nothing to do with me ? Well the answer is simple just as the picture. I am not an asshole and I can’t handle injustice. Poverty? I didn’t grow up poor yet I fight for those that can’t fight for themselves. I have seen poverty on different continents and it’s an ugly thing. No one deserves poverty and no one is or was meant to be poor. Do I know people in poverty yes! & I fight for them. Those in poverty I don’t know I am advocating and through my job in Microfinance I try to the best I can from the position I am Slavery? Am I a descendant of slaves? Am I African American? Am I a Native American ? No. Were my ancestors enslaved ? No. Yet I stand by those who want justice for slavery. I stand by those that would like to speak, openly and truthfully about slavery. I stand by those who have been discriminated by slavery. I want everyone to be treated equal. Racism/ discrimination? Do I get discriminated a lot? Not really. Do I have to deal with a lot of racism ? Not really. Why do I fight for this then? Because it’s wrong! No one should be discriminated and no one should have one grain of racism in them. Do I know a lot of people dealing with severe racism and discrimination every day? Countless! How can we turn away from this and not speak up? Not me I will make you face it. Homosexuality? Am I gay ? No - why do I care? We are all humans no? Why care about someone’s preference? I stand by them. Religion? We all share the same God and gods. I stand by all religion. Do I believe in freedom of religion? Yes! I stand by my Muslim brother, Christian sister, Atheist grandfather, Hindu family, Jewish relative… Climate? Yes I will fight against pollution and climate change. Colonisation? Did I live under colonisation no? Do I know people that lived under this rule? Yes! Do I know colonisers ? Yes. Do I understand the consequences of colonisation and do I openly discuss them and fight for those oppressed. Animal slaughter? By now you can fill in the blanks… My list is endless! My point ?? Face the truth and fight injustice. Learn to understand each other make peace and never discriminate! Don’t be an ass; all evil comes from that. https://www.francinecarron.com/blog/pray-for-the-world-i-came-across-this-little monthly 0.5 2015-11-14 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5652277fe4b0991ab315ae73/1691653972472-G3RM88K1ANA5Z1DIEPUN/tumblr_nxsx6nVzzt1ubz1fbo1_1280.png Blog Pray for the world I came across this little text and decided to repost it as it is a message of truth.

Minister van buitenlandse zaken van Rwanda, Louise Mushikiwabo bezocht 2 dagen geleden België. Deze straffe dame is de tante van mijn vriendin Nausicaa H.K en natuurlijk de zus van Anne Marie Katengwa, manager van Chez Lando waar ik vele dagen ben verbleven tijdens mijn trip in Rwanda. Hopelijk krijg ik de kans haar op haar volgend bezoek te ontmoeten of misschien in Rwanda volgende keer. Hieronder het verslag van diplomatie.be Vicepremier en minister van Buitenlandse Zaken Didier Reynders heeft vandaag zijn Rwandese ambtsgenote Louise Mushikiwabo ontvangen, minister van Buitenlandse Zaken en Internationale Samenwerking. In het kader van de permanente dialoog tussen België en Rwanda spraken de twee ministers over de bilaterale betrekkingen, de situatie in Rwanda, regionale aangelegenheden en de internationale politiek. Op verzoek van minister Reynders heeft Louise Mushikiwabo uitleg gegeven over de debatten die in het Rwandese parlement aan de gang zijn over de wijzigingen aan de grondwet. Didier Reynders heeft gezegd dat ons land dat opvolgt en dat het aandacht zal hebben voor wat wordt voorgesteld en voor het verloop van het herzieningsproces. https://www.francinecarron.com/blog/love-yourself-enough-to-surround-yourself-with monthly 0.5 2015-11-02 https://www.francinecarron.com/blog/coolest-ceo-in-microfinance-this-price-goes-to monthly 0.5 2015-10-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5652277fe4b0991ab315ae73/1691653981516-8BKR4FSZNK7MWYMSYPB8/tumblr_nx30wjsLlR1ubz1fbo1_1280.png Blog Coolest CEO in Microfinance This price goes to Patrick Sapy, CEO of microStart and head of the European Microfinance Network!

Not the best, best guacamole but if you are in the mood for something different in Kigali. Then yeah, why not try. The fish tacos are very yummy & the lamb sliders as well! 3) ZEN restaurant: I liked it a lot. They have Vietnamese, Chinese, Thai and Japanese. Their duck rolls are excellent. The sashimi is good but not a fan of the sushi. The rice was warm. 4) BRIOCHE at Kibuyce, delicious Bakery! Must go. 5) Pizzeria SOL LUNA: Real Italian pizza in Kigali. 6) SERENA Kigali: Nice setting, good for an afternoon tea. 7) MILLESCOLLINES by Kempinski in Kigali: Very good club sandwich and nice setting by the pool. Not a good ceasar salad. 8) BOURBON coffee: I liked their burgers. Always good for a quick bite. Nausicaa also mentioned Papyrus and Republic as places to go. Fashion in Kigali: 1) Francis Zahabu, whose atelier is across the street from Chez Lando. 2) Inzuki designs in downtown, next to La Sierra, it’s worth a visit. 3) MillesCollines Fashion 4) Naleli Rugege’s atelier in Kimihurura 5) Ex- Miss Tanzania Boutique Gisenyi 1) KIVU GORILLA Hotel: No good food! 2) INZU LODGE: Great food, lovely! Their packed lunches for trekking are the best! 3) SERENA LAKE KIVU: Everything off the menu is good. Except the pizza’s. 4) TaiJazz: yummy ! TIP: Stay away from local Buffet’s. It’s mostly rice, spaghetti, French fries, beans, bananas, potatoes and manioc. All in 1. The hotel I loved the most is Nyungwe Forest Lodge. Mountain Gorilla lodge was very nice too. I guess in Gitarama, Muhanga Splendid Hotel can be mentioned. Places to visit in Rwanda: KIGALI: 1. Kigali City Memorial 2. Ntarama & Nyamata Genocide Memorial Churches 3. Old town Nyamirambo 4.

CPF Ineza, the microfinance agency I am now working for has its opening’s hours from 7AM to 8PM. I thought that we worked hard at microStart. I guess I was wrong. We work long hours but not 6 on 7 like that! That meant that I have to wake up for work super early again! Pshhttt… The weather is quite cold and I am not prepared for it. Gitarama is cold. Last night I slept in a sleeping bag underneath the comforter with an extra blanket. I was freezing and the hotel doesn’t have heaters. I never thought that it could get so cold in Rwanda, while not being on a mountain. I have a severe cold, hopefully I am not getting the flu. I would be upset if I return home with the flu from Africa. I am staying in a nice hotel in Gitarama. I told Cyrille from Exchange that I wasn’t going to stay in some priest, sister or silly guesthouse again. Those two weeks in Gisenyi with the priest was more than enough. A little comfort is needed while being sick. Cyrille brought me to the Splendid, another consultant had stayed here before. Splendid it is. Yesterday, I covered with the manager of CPF Ineza the status quo of the microfinance agency. Although, waking up sick I was on a mission to complete a business plan in 2 day. When I arrived at work, I was ready to attack but I was dragged into the back room. Every morning starts with a prayer. I thought oh nooo… now I am going to lose another hour of my day. The prayer started with nice songs in Kinyarwanda. After that I was warmly welcomed by all the staff and a passage from the Bible was read out loud. Everyone then could ask God what they wanted for the day. When it was my turn, I said I needed a divine intervention on this business plan. Blessings were coming my way and more prayers. I should have taken the bottle of Holy Water to sprinkle the office. I told the bookkeeper that I had sprinkled my laptop with Holy water so whatever business plan I was going to write, it would be divine. They prayed for their manager, who had traveled to Kigali this morning for a training with Amir. They prayed for each other. I wonder if Ankelien and Pieter would pray for me as their manager in the morning and then I would bless them. Food for thought for a new morning routine. Hehe…. They also prayed for the European refugee crisis. They prayed for Europe. This was strange. I wonder they said that because I was there. I thought to myself instead of praying for Europe, you need to pray for the refugees. Vous êtes une religieuse Madame. Oui Oui I say fast. Then the questions come are you married, children, divorce oh no; c'est horrible! The entire month has been about me needing to get married and multiply. My mother had also been breaking my head about me living in sin. Unmarried, no that’s not what we do. Obey your husband is the message I keep getting everywhere.  The bookkeeper told me he made a prayer so that I will marry upon my return in Belgium. Seriously, I have a job to do here. With lots of concentration, I start 40 minutes later on the business plan. My mission was to finish the written part before lunch. Pierre, the bookkeeper brought me African tea (ginger tea with milk) with cookies. I brought my own blanket at work as I was afraid to be cold. I had wrapped myself in the blanket and hunched over my laptop. The African tea felt good. I have gotten used to the taste and now I can drink this strange combination all the time. Pierre keeps asking me to pause. I get fed up, Numerien used to ask me that too. Off course I want to pause but you have given me so much work that I can’t pause ! Finally, the literature part of the business plan is completed. Pierre wants to go to lunch with me. I got nauseas when he said that. Yesterday, we had lunch in the Parish slash mall slash supermarket slash rooms slash conference center slash restaurant owned by another pastor. The buffet existed out of two types of potatoes, bananas, manioc, two types of rice and two types of pasta. Carbs, carbs and carbs again. I shoved 1 type of pasta, 1 type of rice and 1 type of potato down my throat. Oh and I get a boiled egg on top. The food was beyond bland and I decided to drip chilli oil over it to hide the taste. No, no Francine wasn’t going back to the pastor super center slash everything. I told Pierre, I needed to return to the hotel to get my medicine. He said no problem I will wait for you in the restaurant. Aghhh, he didn’t get the point. Ok let me try this again. I am too sick to eat so I can’t join for lunch. Finally, he got the point. I went to the hotel for lunch, hehe. However, it was rather disappointing I found again potatoes, spaghetti and rice but they had bouillon soup. Three plates of bouillon soup for lunch then. I head back to the office to kill this plan. Pierre hadn’t made it back. Gitarama isn’t really a happening town. Very boring. I could never stay here more than 3 days. If there is ever a 2 week mission in Gitarama, I will have to politely decline. After some time, Pierre walks in and sees me number crunching. We are now on the financial part of the plan. He gave me a little help but I expected much more. Jean de adieu and I had worked so hard together on the financial plan of the Union. This time I was on my own. I had to create context from numbers and papers but with divine intervention everything would turn out alright. Pierre told me if you believe, everything is possible. So let’s see about this. It’s getting very dark outside and I am still number crunching. The Microfinance agency is full of people. Everyone comes late in the night. On one of the doors in the office, I notice a sign VIP. VIP in a Microfinance office ? Really? The smallest loan is 10000 Rwandan Francs about 12 Euro. So I am guessing VIP customers are 50 euro?! Not sure. The Microfinance agency runs different than microStart. They want profits; I don’t like that. I don’t agree with making profits on the poor. Interest rates are accordingly in the country and in CPF Ineza they vary between 18 and 24 % annually. What’s good about this cooperative is that they also provide microsavings as of 500 Rwandan Francs, 7.5 euro. Their products are according to sector. This is a tip, I am taking home to microStart and the interest rates are negotiable. Finally, the plan is finished. I have arrived. My neck is broken and I haven’t drank a sip of water. That is how focused I was. Upstairs from the office, there is a Church. The entire building was shaking but that didn’t bother me at all. I was on a mission. I gave Pierre, the flash drive and he began to print it out. I said I am leaving immediately. He got sad. I first had to sit down in the living room. Ohhhh nooo… I just want to get a hot shower. He started by telling me how fantastic, smart, great…. Etc I was. I was very thankful and flattered but my mission was to leave asap. We took a selfie and left. I snapped another picture of the calendar that was on the wall. A calendar of the board of directors of the Microfinance agency CPF Ineza. Another one I need to take to microStart. Lol It is too late to drive to Kigali so another night in the Splenid it is. I saw a cooperative of pottery around here so before I leave in the morning, I will pass by there. Maybe I can find something cute for the house ? I have given almost all my clothes away so there is space in my bag again. Let me rest because tomorrow afternoon is a full of meetings in Kigali.

I had already swam in it and I had tasted it also. Now I got to enjoy the ride. Some parts remind me of Lake Geneva. This country is wonderful. We stayed in a nice hotels with each our big terrace, Greek style, Mykonos looking type of a hotel. My mom wasn’t interested in the boat ride. The water just like animals, she doesn’t like. According to her you don’t know who can come up from these waters. Considering lake Kivu is a volcanic lake that produces methane gas besides Kivu fish I don’t think there is a lot in there. She asked if I was going on a speedboat but no Francine had booked a local with a dugout boat. She should know my adventurous spirit by now. She stayed back in the hotel to relax. However, she didn’t relax. She prayed the entire time for my safety. I enjoyed the boat ride. I did notice that it does flip over easily and she was right telling me dugouts aren’t the safest thing. Anyway, it didn’t matter, I swim like the best and I am born from the water. My father’s family were all related to the maritime business. I have been swimming in rivers since 5. The dugout boat had nothing on me. We arrived on an island in the lake and explored it for a little while. I can’t believe some of them are for sale. I really want to buy an island. It is my dream. This dream might become reality in Rwanda one day. From the lake we arrived downtown Kibuye and visited the museum of environment. This museum had just been opened. It discusses energy. A lot of images from the Port of Ghent in Belgium describing energy. It is an interesting place and has a botanical garden showing the unique forest plants that heal diseases. I had put my hands in nettles while I was in the forest, the porter ripped open a leaf and put it on my hand. The nettle bumps were gone in less than 10 minutes. Seems as if we still have a lot to learn from these traditional healers. Kibuye has very good of lake Kivu. It seems this lake is everywhere in the country. I can’t believe the beauty of this place. On to the next sight. By the time I leave I will have visited this country from North to South, East to West. I turned on Justin Bieber in the car to set the mood for the next place. Leaving Kibuye, I saw rice fields! I can’t believe the blessings of this country. It grows everything. Even non believers would become believers in Rwanda. This country has a Godly presence. Right when I thought, I saw a waterfall along the way. It only gets better. https://www.francinecarron.com/blog/mom-was-happy-when-i-returned-from-lakekivu monthly 0.5 2015-10-11 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5652277fe4b0991ab315ae73/1691654008464-YHJVA0LR6K4P1ECXY0IE/tumblr_nw2w9sLClu1ubz1fbo1_1280.jpg Blog Mom was happy when I returned from #lakekivu #dugout boat.

We have rescheduled our journey and my gorilla trek had been pushed back. Finally, today was the day! Last night we arrived late from the Holy Land to Musanze. Due to the distances, unfortunately we have been driving in the night as well. Our schedules are packed. My mom at age 63 is holding up strong but she doesn’t want to hear about gorillas. She doesn’t like animals and is afraid of it. According to our guide, it’s called the esprit kazane. He wrote his thesis on the fact that people from developing countries lack curiosity as most Westerns have. My mom says she came from the bush, she doesn’t want to return to the animal kingdom. I asked when she lived in the bush? Considering she is from a major city in Nigeria, Port Harcourt. She couldn’t answer this question lol. My mom doesn’t want to believe we come from apes. She fully rejects this theory. So she told me to go visit my mother, father and siblings in the mountains. I couldn’t wait ! Every night before a hike, I can’t sleep. Again I was worried. So without sleep I left for the gorillas at 6:30 AM. I needed to be put with a gorilla mountain family at the bottom of the volcano. I was too tired to hike a long time. I fought for me to be with the best guide named Francois. He started as a porter 30 years ago for Dian Fossey. He knew her very well. He said that Dian loved gorillas more than humans. After seeing gorillas in the mist I agree. Dian had done a lot for the conservation of the mountain gorillas. She got the cows out of the forest. Apparently villagers used to take cows for feeding up into the mountain volcano. I can’t believe cows were up there even though Buffaloes live up there. Strange… Strange… Dian fought a battle against cows and poachers. Today there are 10 gorilla families currently on the Rwanda side. My family was named Umubano. The eldest is the silverback gorilla. Silverback because of the grey hairs on their back. On my way up the volcano, the military men who brought me up to bisoke volcano passed me. The senior military man who had set the pace gave me a big hi5 and smile. He said: Ha Francine !!! and laughed hard. Yes, yes my story of climbing up and down bisoke with the military and without guide had gone viral. I also saw Augustin, my porter from Monday. I asked the boss to make an exception and put Augustin in my group as a porter. I was very happy to see him and he was happy to hold my backpack. The group limit is 8 people. I was in a nice group. Two women were from the Rwandan Development Board, Chantal and Adeline. They were doing a quality control. The others were a family of 4 from Los Angeles whose daughter had been living in Valenciennes, France. For their father’s birthday, they were travelling throughout East Africa. There was one more guy from Canada also travelling through East Africa. The group was friendly and we were being entertained by Francois. Francois is also the guide of Rwandan President Kamage. He speaks English and mixes it with French in a perfect way. He is fantastic to listen too. He is beyond passionate about gorillas. He can eat their food, play and speak the language. Our family wasn’t a far a climb. There he was the first gorilla I ever seen in real live. He was calm, peaceful and enjoying his breakfast of leaves. We were less than 1 meter away. We were taking pictures and he didn’t mind. All of a sudden he got up. I got scared. They are strong. When they walk, it’s like the ground shakes a little. You can hear them above you in the trees but you can’t see them. They can be behind you without knowing. The Trekkers find the gorillas in the morning. As gorillas never stay in 1 place at night. Once you find your family, you start following them. Gorillas go to the market, gorillas go to the bathroom… Gorillas go for lunch. They are always on the move. So we began trekking them. All of a sudden a little baby gorilla child comes running out of the bushes. It wants to play with me but we are not allowed to touch gorillas. The human diseases can carry over to the gorillas. When you cough, you have to cough down in order not to infect the gorillas. When you are trekking gorillas, the porters stay behind. You can only keep your camera. You can’t eat or drink. You have one hour to enjoy your family. I saw children gorillas boys, girls playing. I also saw the baby with the mother. They are so human like. It was the cutest thing. One gorilla was really sad. There was a fight. According to Francois, the gorilla was punished because he wanted to get jiggy with a girl he wasn’t allowed to sleep with it. The eldest silverback gorilla had beaten him and so he was punished. He obeyed like a child sitting in the corner. I felt sad. Gorillas have strong emotions and you can feel it. After a while being in the park you forget that these gorillas are animals. I felt I was around humans and I was definitely not scared anymore. They touched my leg and I sat really close to take selfies :) After visiting the gorillas, I was very happy. My god! Nature is fantastic. I went to buy some souvenirs in the gift shop and didn’t even haggle on the price. I was too happy. I had forgotten my selfiestick and gloves with the porter. Off course Rwandan hospitality, the porter ran miles after the car to bring it back ! Augustin, my hero. Now I am in Mountain Gorilla lodge. Another amazing lodge hotel with the same group of American tourists that I saw fighting in Nyungwe lodge. Luckily I wasn’t in their family group. The lodge is huge and the place is amazing. While sitting in my living room, I spotted a wild animal. I don’t know what it is and no one can help me. It looked like a tiger/lion/dog or cat. It was beautiful. My mom had stayed in the hotel in Musanze and was now on her way to Mountain Gorilla Lodge. She was supposed to relax but she did not. Instead she was praying and studying the word of God because she was scared the wild Buffaloes would catch me and eat me in the forest. She had never been this happy to see my jolly self in the hotel. According to her, animals should be subdued by humans. In case you haven’t noticed, my mom is religious. I am trying to make her relax by taking a picture with a fake gorilla but she was scared of that too. When she got to her own private lodge, she refused to take it. She will sleep with me tonight. Her fears for wild animals is too big. We enjoyed an African traditional dance at the hotel and we danced along. This journey is beyond amazing and crazy. One small note to the Rwandan Development Board who is doing a great job. However, they had requested the group at lowest level of the mountain. They should have chosen the most difficult to reach group and should have requested the worst guide. Now they had a fantastic experience with the most experienced guide. While doing a quality control one should look for the worst guide in order to improve. Also quality controls should not be announced and people shouldn’t know that RDB is checking. When people are warned, they are at their best behaviour. While my bisoke guide wasn’t good and other people have had drunk guides. Also more should be done for the locals because everyday foreigners are passing in expensive jeeps through the village at the bottom of the volcano. This village is surrounded by expensive hotels and the villagers are dirt poor. The children are dirty and many of them without shoes. They beg and run away. I know efforts are ongoing but more could be done. A school for guides should be set up in this area. These kids need a future. The future is their volcanic mountain filled with wild animals that the entire world should see. Another fact that surprised me is that the tourist in my group were all in Rwanda for 2 or 3 days just to do gorilla trekking. They didn’t know about genocide and weren’t going to visit any memorials. I knew Rwanda had a genocide, I never knew they had gorillas till I planned this week holiday. Tourists should not only visit gorillas and leave, they should also learn about genocide. Maybe a small memorial museum should be opened near gorillas as well. I don’t like ignorance. Rwanda is so much more than only gorillas. However, it’s a lifetime experience. https://www.francinecarron.com/blog/a-lifetime-experience-gorillatrekking monthly 0.5 2015-10-10 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5652277fe4b0991ab315ae73/1691654017609-N0WANUNX8E2JCPKALDVS/tumblr_nw0kbxIoXv1ubz1fbo1_1280.jpg Blog A lifetime experience #gorillatrekking #mountaingorillas #rwanda A beautiful experience (at Volcanoes National Park) https://www.francinecarron.com/blog/the-t-shirt-i-picked-up-for-my-son-after-the monthly 0.5 2015-10-10 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5652277fe4b0991ab315ae73/1691654017966-LKAQYXH3SCWOM7TRQRO8/tumblr_nw0k69IXfQ1ubz1fbo1_1280.jpg Blog The t-shirt I picked up for my son after the #gorillatrek #mountaingorillas #rwanda (at Mountain Gorilla View Lodge) https://www.francinecarron.com/blog/francois-my-park-guide-he-is-the-best-he-was monthly 0.5 2015-10-10 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5652277fe4b0991ab315ae73/1691654018089-7ZL6G3ICROLE3Q0UX18I/tumblr_nw0jjgvBJo1ubz1fbo1_1280.jpg Blog Francois my park guide, he is the best !

We were late and I was worried. I didn’t travel hours to not see it. Speeding through these dangerous hills, we arrived 5 minutes late.  Luckily, there were only 2 people visiting today with me. One girl had a long dress on and flats. I was surprised travelling through the forest with a prom dress and flats. Nice one! Both tourists were returning Rwandans from Angola and exploring the country. The park guide explained us the uniqueness of the rainforest flowers and the healing power of many plants. Nyungwe forest is a name given after colonial period, meaning Leopards forest. However, none have been spotted for years. Drivers in the night claim they have seen them but are most likely confusing them for big cats. Park guides haven’t seen leopards. The park used to have elephants and these have been poached since the colonial area. The Belgian colonial rule had announced this as a protected area but allowed poachers in. Nyungwe forest has many specific types of primates. Owl monkeys, blue monkeys and other types I have never heard of. I saw a blue monkey myself :) Beautiful!! I found primate food in the park that I recognised from the Lion King Disney film and took many pictures. I want to try eating it myself. According to my mom, this type of food is eaten in Nigeria by humans. The park guide doesn’t allow me to eat it - I might get sick. I am curious though. The trails in Nyungwe are easy to walk, almost like stairs. Nothing compared to the volcanic mountains I climbed. Arriving at the canopy walk, I get scared. OMG, I am afraid of heights and this bridge is just floating in the sky. All of a sudden my bladder fills itself from fear. Why did I want to do this so badly ? What was I thinking ? The other tourists started crossing the canopy while I watch with shaking legs. I began to cross the canopy slowly screaming… I had crossed the first bridge and the second +100 meter was now in front of me. The park guide named Jules Cesar crossed walking backwards leading the first girl. It seemed she was doing fine but I got a panick attack. I didn’t look down but the feeling of being in the sky made me feel vulnerable. Thoughts of the canopy falling went through my head. The canopy can hold 8 people at a time and technically 4 ton. Yet in movies the canopy always falls! Thoughts of me falling in the valley were going through my head. I began to hyperventilate, I couldn’t control my breathing. Tears started flowing from my eyes. The park guide rushed towards me and began talking to me. Asking me questions to keep my mind off. I put my fate in his hands.  I just wanted to get off the canopy! With the help of Jules Cesar, I arrived at the end. I was happy but I probably will never cross again. I wonder if my fear of heights is gone ? While walking back towards the entrance of the park, we rain into Laurent Willenegger, a Swiss birdwatcher slash painter. I looked into it where his binocular was pointing but didn’t see anything. The painting he made was of the birds sitting in their tree nest. A bird named something… Bla bla bla bird because it bla’s a lot. Funny! The works of the Swiss painter can be found on www.wildsideproductions.ch Arriving back at the park entrance, I find park guides taking pictures with my mom. What was going on now? The park guides had come to my mom with their problems and she made them all pray with her. She had a message, one from God. Oh no, she is not going to turn this journey in a pilgrimage is she ? Seems like we will be travelling to the Holy Land of Kibeho. https://www.francinecarron.com/blog/a-dip-in-the-pool-at-nyungweforestlodge-after-a monthly 0.5 2015-10-09 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5652277fe4b0991ab315ae73/1691654021490-I1JTUJPL0SOD4BGQAEWN/tumblr_nvz62siu8c1ubz1fbo1_1280.jpg Blog A dip in the pool at #nyungweforestlodge after a hike through #nyungweforest #infinitypool at the #forest #whatthemediadoesntshowyouofafrica (at Nyungwe Forest) https://www.francinecarron.com/blog/the-skull-of-the-last-elephant-found-in monthly 0.5 2015-10-09 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5652277fe4b0991ab315ae73/1691654022581-WK74DB7KQZG1F25M7WNN/tumblr_nvz5akMZKm1ubz1fbo1_1280.jpg Blog The #skull of the last #elephant found in #nyungweforest #rwanda (at Nyungwe Forest) https://www.francinecarron.com/blog/there-are-no-more-elephants-in-nyungweforest monthly 0.5 2015-10-09 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5652277fe4b0991ab315ae73/1691654022882-2FS04PMFIBGOQ22QNQWC/tumblr_nvz50dJZNv1ubz1fbo1_1280.jpg Blog There are no more #elephants in #nyungweforest this how #poachers trapped them #rwanda (at Nyungwe Forest) https://www.francinecarron.com/blog/we-ran-into-a-painter-birdwatcher-from monthly 0.5 2015-10-09 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5652277fe4b0991ab315ae73/1691654023319-9JPYGSS15DYQ89O859H5/tumblr_nvz4gatVeY1ubz1fbo1_1280.jpg Blog We ran into a painter / #birdwatcher from #switzerland He painted the …. blablabird because it bla bla a lot.

Anne Marie Katengwa and Joseph are the parents of my college friend Nausicaa and owners of Kigali’s most famous restaurant and hotel. Upon my arrival in Rwanda, I had stayed with them while Nausicaa remained my guide via distance. I was fully prepared. I had planned a week of holiday, after the mission and this now included my mom. Again Anne-Marie and Joseph have shown beyond great hospitality. While I was climbing the Bisoke volcano. They picked her up. Patrick, the receptionist from Chez Lando, called me to let me know that she had landed. He called me to let me know she was in the car and she was safely in the house. There is no words for this kind of hospitality. It is just beyond amazing. I arrived later in the night and couldn’t wait to see mom. Again, it had been 4 years. I ran in the house and started screaming mom, mom. There she was beautiful as always. At age 63, she had aged a little bit since I last saw her but still a strong African woman. I can assure you don’t want to mess with her. Tears in my eyes, we continued to hug. We decided to have dinner across in the Chez Lando restaurant. What a fantastic place with good food! No wonder this is considered the best place in town. It was packed with people and the atmosphere was great. My mom was already impressed with Kigali. She said I have never seen an African place like this. She has confused Luanda with Rwanda. Mom was happy to meet Nausicaa’s parents and very impressed. The Rwandan mentality is completely different from Nigerians. Mom’s first hours in Rwanda are a success.

Last night when I went to lay in my bed, I just started to laugh. Ohhh the bed was soooooo comfortable with fluffy pillows. I forgot that feeling, I couldn’t stop laughing from happiness. Never been that grateful for a bed! I slept 8 hours straight! & without Advil PM. That’s the forte time this happened in Rwanda. With no alarm, I woke up fresh and still quite early and my 9-year old son Skyped me. Finally, I have a strong enough wifi connection that can hold a video Skype call. I put in my headphones and went to have breakfast. My son and I virtually had breakfast together. I was eating at the breakfast table in Rwanda and he was eating at home. He helped me select what I should eat for breakfast. He saw a donut and that one I had to eat for him. He was able to wave at the Chef who was making me an omelette. For a moment it felt that he was here in Rwanda. We video Skyped at the breakfast table for 2 hours. The day feels weird without the tea union. It had been a big part of my life for 2 weeks straight. I also find out that you can’t have chicken in a taxibus and no heavy market goods. Numerien didn’t believe me that it was illegal. Smggghhh…. I miss the Union and all its people already.   I saw that the hotel has a beauty centre and decided to go for pampering.  That day I also  went to the pharmacy to buy amiable pills in town, just in case I get infected since I have been grubbing on food that I shouldn’t eat. I bought a double dosis Nausicaa :) Walking through Gisenyi, I got a couple of good photo snaps from the Nyiaragongo volcano in Congo. So much steam that comes out of there. In the night you can see the red fire in the background of Gisenyi. This place is just beautiful, we walked to some amazing ‘rich’ people neighbourhoods and into the market. The market of Gisenyi is quite big and they are constructing a building to move it into a proper construction. A type of shopping mall, one can say. These markets always upset me. They sell second hand clothing mostly. Second hand clothing that comes from Europe and America. These are the clothes that we put outside our houses for charity. They are being collected all over and sold in bulk by Western businessman to African whole sellers. The clothes are then resold through retail in the markets. It pisses me off! These clothes should be given for free! On top of all of this, these second hand clothes are very expensive. Second hand clothes from America and Europe are considered premium quality while new clothes are considered bad, low quality from China. My argument is that most of these Western clothes are also made in China. Thus, this reasoning makes no sense. No matter what quality, these clothes should be free. They were donated to be given away for free. This phenomena is all over Africa, not only Rwanda. On the positive side, it is sustainable. Gisenyi is small and we are quick back where we left off. I found the mosque that was keeping me up last week. Its actually far from where I stayed. Back at Lake Kivu, I watch the sun set and order yummy food. Lake Kivu is so big that it looks like an ocean. The water is always warm and the methane gas extraction continues to fascinate me. I might go out tonight ;) after watching #rwandaday live President Kagame is just saying that Kinyarwanda learning centres are being set up so that Rwanda’s or adopted Rwandans wanting to return home can prepare. I want to learn the language !

We have arrived at the end of the second week of the mission for Exchangevzw and BNP Paribas Benevolab. It is today that I have to present the conclusions of my findings. A short version of the strategic plan. Yesterday morning I had prepared the presentation before going to Rutsereco. It was showtime ! Last night I had gone to bed way to late as I was talking to a hotel guest about the genocide. He told me how his entire family was killed. (I will dedicate a post to his story.) So when I woke up this morning, I was tired. I rushed to get perfectly dressed, heels and makeup. We were back on Day 1, power dressing was necessary. The board of administration would be present and Jean Pierre, a representative of AMIR (Association of Microfinance Agencies in Rwanda). The meeting was scheduled for 8 o'clock. I ran out the Centre D'Acceuille with my heels on, up the hill trying to catch a taxibus. I was sweating before I got in. I was scared to be late but the matatu God’s are on my side. No one got in on the way and I arrived at 7:15. Numerien wasn’t there yet. Yes! I beat him again. At 7:45 he arrives and tells me: ‘you are a morning person’! This time he meant it! He asked me to prepare for the meeting because it has moved to 9 o'clock. I thought to myself Ohhh nooo! 9:15 Nobody there. Numerien said that the President of the tea Union had given permission that I could start. The manager of the Pfunda tea cooperative joins in, the manager of the microfinance agency joins in as well and we start. Surprisingly I had no stress. The entire plan and its French words were imprinted in my head. The words roll down my tongue. Augustin joins in and Jean Pierre from AMIR arrives. I am on a roll! At the end of the presentation it was suggestion and question time. Jean Pierre gave us really good suggestions in setting up the microfinance for tea farmers branch. The head of Pfunda Cooperative wanted me as a consultant to draft him a strategic plan too. I received farewell gifts and we headed out for drinks. Jean Pierre had a vehicle with driver and without thinking I opt for that vehicle. My time with taxibus had come to an end. We arrive at a motel and order drinks. It’s not even 12 and the Mutzig starts flowing. Mutzig beer with lemon Fanta. That’s a first. I discuss with Jean Pierre intensely BNP Paribas relations and the end of the mission. Jean Pierre left for Kigali while we continued my farewell lunch. Brochettes with French fries. My favorite. Nausicaa had advised me not to eat grilled anymore but I couldn’t resist. This time it was not organs, at least that’s what I think. I say my goodbye’s and inform them that they will receive the final strategic plan in 2 weeks. I will adapt it according to the new suggestions and the information from AMIR. I am included in the strategic plan and will have a lot of following up to do. Hence, I receive the title in their organization as Business Development Consultant for the Tea Farmers Union of Crete Congo Nil. My work here isn’t done. I thank them for the lovely gifts. They apologized they couldn’t find any tea from Pfunda. Green leaves only. It’s hard to find the local tea, everything is for export and Rwandans don’t drink tea. It’s no problem for me, I have learned a lot of new things on this mission and will stay on board. One last time in the taxibus to get my stuff at the Centre and a last meeting with RIM. Reseaux Microfinance. The meeting was short but I arranged for a second one. Finally at the Centre, I pack my bags and can’t believe the amount of stuff. I have given away so much already and yet the number of bags seem to grow. Is it the gifts ? I don’t know. While I was packing my stuff, I notice all of a sudden troops of mini roaches crawling from under the mattress! I thought to myself; this is the final straw, I got to go. I woke up this morning with an entire body full of bites. I have no one to blame but myself. I have an impregnated fitted sheet for mattresses. I had removed it to go to Rutsereco and when I returned to Gisenyi, I was too lazy to put it back. No one else but Francine to blame.  Numerien and I, each with a suitcase in the hand + 2 purses and 2 backpacks walk down to the Serena at the Kivu Lake. The hotel is 5 minutes walking distance from the centre. Numerien was acting strange because his request for a small mortgage was refused for the second time in the Bank of Kigali. He was stressed all of a sudden. I felt bad and tried to give him some advice. We ran into the special representative for sanitation of the district, a native of the tea fields. He advised me to include day cares into strategic plan of the union. Why didn’t I think of it myself. Perfect! More work! Arriving at the Serena Hotel, a resort looking type of hotel, Numerien gets anxious. He doesn’t want to come inside . He said the hotel is too expensive. I said I want to buy him a drink. We give my stuff to the butlers, whom X-ray all the bags. Tight security in this hotel which is actually not needed in Rwanda. We immediately receive hot towels and drinks. I want to go to my roommmmm…. Numerien is nervous. He doesn’t like the setting. I told him someone had hooked me up with the room for free. I didn’t want him to know I was paying these prices because he would have dragged me out. Lol Finally in the room. wow I forgot about tv’s, a bath, ohhhh A/C !!! I never appreciated luxury as much as today! I have normal wifi- no more 45 minutes per upload! We are so spoiled and I am grateful. I need a mission like this every year. I am ordering room service, paying 15 USD for a well deserved glass of wine.

They tried to get me tea but it’s hard to find tea in the local market because 1) no one drinks it. The tea farmers don’t even know what tea looks like or taste like. 2) 99 percent is exported for the world market. So I received local table mats. Numerien went everywhere to have it wrapped so nicely. https://www.francinecarron.com/blog/official-photo-with-augustin-the-president-of-the monthly 0.5 2015-10-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5652277fe4b0991ab315ae73/1691654035846-BBYF6X8E7BIN13TA59JQ/tumblr_nvlri01d2l1ubz1fbo1_1280.jpg Blog Official photo with Augustin, the president of the tea Union.

I will present it to the board of directors, cooperative managers and the direction of Amir. This presentation will be at 8 AM in the Pfunda offices. I am happy it isn’t 6 or 7 AM. This means that tomorrow is my last day with the tea Union before I go on a 1 week holiday in Rwanda. I arranged for my mom to join me on the Rwanda tour. I found a direct flight with Rwandair from Lagos. I haven’t seen her for 4 years so we are both excited. Today, the second last day basically, we head to go to Rubaya. This was another 4 hours in a taxibus. I can’t handle that anymore !  We were at 2400 meters and I had difficulties talking. The altitude was killing me. I explained to Numerien that we live at sea level and the altitude might cause the complications. He didn’t really understand but said hurry up finish your business and we’ll return to Gisenyi. Numerien said he was surprised to see me at the office today. I was on time and was working on my laptop outside. He was half an hour late :) He said he thought I was going to call in sick or tired and would not have mind. I was like what!? I am dead you should have told me you were dead too. We could have both stayed at home! I made it clear to him that this is the reason why I incorporated in the business plan that the union needs their own vehicle. You can’t just be sitting in overpopulated, overheated taxibus’ and expect people to work without a problem. Numerien agreed also, he got out a town before me and told me to stay awake or else I’d miss my stop. I am going to prepare for tomorrow and wish me all the best of luck! https://www.francinecarron.com/blog/2-day-trip-rutsiro-day-2 monthly 0.5 2015-10-01 https://www.francinecarron.com/blog/2-day-trip-to-rutsiro-day-1 monthly 0.5 2015-10-01 https://www.francinecarron.com/blog/look-who-is-riding-along-with-me-from-rutsiro-to monthly 0.5 2015-10-01 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5652277fe4b0991ab315ae73/1691654037903-7DL5OG753AANQG1FLV1H/tumblr_nvjmylXSB51ubz1fbo1_1280.jpg Blog Look who is riding along with me from #Rutsiro to #Gisenyi with the taxibus ? 7 hour journey back.

I forgot to call Numerien last night to ask him what time we would start today. I woke up before 8 and decided to call him at 8 on the dot. The phone rings no one picks up. Aha, I have the opportunity to eat breakfast ! I order myself a cheese omelette with ham and a glass of warm fresh milk. I don’t like that powered milk that they love to serve in Africa. While eating my breakfast, Numerien calls. I asked him if I could come alone to the office. He finally agreed that I no longer need a chaperone. I finish breakfast and head out. It feels hot today. Puffing I climb on the mountain and get in a taxibus. My body is aching from the excessive exercise this weekend. The tube of flexigel that I had brought with me will definitely come in handy. The taxibus was pretty empty today. Numerien keeps calling wanting to know where I am. My taxibus was slow and the driver waited everywhere. Doesn’t Numerien know that anything can happen while on the taxibus? He send the bookkeeper to wait for me at the end stop. I walked in the office and Numerien wanted to know everything about my weekend. My iPhone is his iPhone. He scrolled down the pictures. He couldn’t believe my adventure. He really wants to visit the gorillas but can’t afford the entrance fee. $50 dollars I think for locals and 750$ for international tourists entry fee. It’s sad but most locals can’t afford to visit the exciting places. I told him this weekend everything was free and he should go.  After discussing our weekends, we go to the meeting with FXB Gisenyi which I am dying to have a partnership with. We met with Berthilde, the manager. She is a beautiful and tall Rwandan woman (as you can see in the picture). She had light brown eyes and naturally long hair. Berthilde looked very intelligent. I knew this was going to be an interesting meeting. Berthilde explains what FXB does exactly in Gisenyi. I help Numerien explain our cause. Numerien is the type of person that you would like to kick underneath the table during a meeting. Occasionally he discussed the problems of the tea Union putting a foot in his mouth. The problems of the union is something I am solving at the moment. Berthilde was clever enough to not mind his comments and look at the win win situation. FXB has a lot of young unemployed people and we need people in the tea sector. After discussing a possible partnership, it is clear a tea program can be created with FXB. Berthilde had the same thoughts and remarks as I. Women in management position is always best. Berthilde and Numerien informed her colleague in Kinyarwanda. This is when I got sleepy and didn’t understand a word but the information needed to be translated for everyone to understand. The next steps are discussed and a trial program FXB * UCTCCN will soon be launched. Step 1 of the strategic plan is ongoing. If Numerien follows my plan, he will have a powerful union by 2020. Across the street of FXB office, I saw a woman cooperative that made local arts and crafts. I had to go inside.  The store was fantastic. Lovely African dolls for little girls, headbands, bags and clothing. I saw some cute little shorts and tried them on. They were my size! I didn’t want to haggle on the price because this a cooperative supporting women but Numerien did it anyway. I got a reduction of 1000 Rwandan Francs on 2 shorts and a wrap skirt. I took pictures as usual because I loved the place. They had a crocodile that I wanted to buy for my son but that was 30,000 Rwandan Francs. Numerien said he knows a place where I might find it cheaper. I doubt that so I might go back and get it. I will definitely buy him three mini paniers for his room. At 11:00, we were back in the office and I asked Jean de dieu to work on the financial projections 2016-2020 with me. We worked the entire day. When the bell went for the pause, I told Numerien we would continue working. He didn’t like that idea and went out to break. When he came back he brought us grilled peanuts and coca cola. If I didn’t want to eat and pause; the food would come to me. I was grateful though! The peanuts gave me lot of energy. The bookkeeper and I kept on number crunching. Numerien insisted on an afternoon break. I said no. I have a lot of work to do and have no time to break. The financials are important and in Rwanda because of the valuta, you are easily calculating in the billions. At 17:00 o'clock, Numerien was stressed out of his face. I had worked enough, the rain was coming. He couldn’t handle it anymore. I asked him for 10 minutes. My time that’s 30 min. After 10 minutes he said ok enough, this it. You don’t have an umbrella and it’s going to rain. I pulled out my rain poncho, put it on and told him I was fine. He couldn’t believe his eyes. He said you are like a Rwandan and was granted 10 more minutes. Just enough to finish the finances of the financial plan :) He put me on the taxibus and I got home before the rain. I know in Rwanda there is a long gap between the sky darkening and it actually pouring down raining. I am going to sleep early today as tomorrow Numerien and I are going on a two day trip to visit another tea cooperative. https://www.francinecarron.com/blog/rwanda-rwandalicious-eastafrica-goodmorning monthly 0.5 2015-09-28 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5652277fe4b0991ab315ae73/1691654041853-AUYKGRFZSOJW0UZK20ZF/tumblr_nvdit3kijt1ubz1fbo1_500.jpg Blog #Rwanda #rwandalicious #EastAfrica #Goodmorning - Anyone can feel at home here ! https://www.francinecarron.com/blog/sunday-the-day-of-rest monthly 0.5 2015-09-27 https://www.francinecarron.com/blog/ended-another-amazing-day-in-rwanda-at-the-congo monthly 0.5 2015-09-27 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5652277fe4b0991ab315ae73/1691654042205-5BD3XR665BTYI25M7KVT/tumblr_nvcnn14vnm1ubz1fbo1_1280.jpg Blog Ended another amazing day in #Rwanda at the #Congo border #Goma #Gisenyi https://www.francinecarron.com/blog/i-will-never-get-tired-of-the-view-rwanda monthly 0.5 2015-09-27 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5652277fe4b0991ab315ae73/1691654042254-F27JG17VELS7SEMBRIST/tumblr_nvcjzxpzhS1ubz1fbo1_1280.jpg Blog I will never get tired of the view. #Rwanda #rwandalicious https://www.francinecarron.com/blog/i-can-not-get-enough-of-the-landofthousandhills monthly 0.5 2015-09-27 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5652277fe4b0991ab315ae73/1691654042801-JYNZR55HEH117867GIDV/tumblr_nvcjvi725R1ubz1fbo1_1280.jpg Blog I can not get enough of the #landofthousandhills #millecollines #Rwanda #gopro on ready for the hike https://www.francinecarron.com/blog/this-could-be-a-picture-taken-in-europe-cows monthly 0.5 2015-09-27 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5652277fe4b0991ab315ae73/1691654042694-BAIBQN29LMZG4ZYT1YAF/tumblr_nvcjozJErh1ubz1fbo1_1280.jpg Blog This could be a picture taken in Europe, cows grazing. #Rwanda #Muhungwe highest non #volcanic #mountain https://www.francinecarron.com/blog/one-of-the-local-rwandalicious-mountain-guides monthly 0.5 2015-09-27 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5652277fe4b0991ab315ae73/1691654043005-V5SE89R80477ZHKL1APR/tumblr_nvcji5FwsP1ubz1fbo1_1280.jpg Blog One of the local #rwandalicious #mountain guides!

I am 100% convinced the cows I see here are Belgian import. I witnessed in #India a cow insemination once with Laura Cluytens for Avantha Group.

They are here everywhere and also on the 500 bills. #Rwanda #money https://www.francinecarron.com/blog/i-woke-up-like-this-iwokeuplikethis-i-barely monthly 0.5 2015-09-25 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5652277fe4b0991ab315ae73/1691654049315-U8TE4JXJ4UGSW2B7TOFK/tumblr_nv7y6wan761ubz1fbo1_1280.jpg Blog I woke up like this… #iwokeuplikethis I barely slept, I decided not to take a Tylenol pm as I went to bed late but that was a big mistake. The mosque was singing all nights and the day starts before 6AM here. I can’t manage to sleep more than 4 hours naturally. I read somewhere that a sleeping pattern of 6 to 8 hours is not natural. Back in the days people slept naturally in intervals throughout day and night. That rhythm would be something for me because having to lay in a bed more than 6 hours is generally torture for me. I dreamt about Queen Mathilda (maybe because she is visiting microStart for European microfinance day?) and I wondered what Cookie was doing in the first episode of the new Empire season. Is Lucious still in jail? Someone answer please. So I have been up for quite a while this morning thinking about how I can elaborate the strategic plan. I didn’t eat breakfast and didn’t drink anything. Not in the mood. I will munch on my new favourite fruit again! Today I am going to visit a tea microfinance and savings institution. I am eager to learn what their methodologies are and compare them to our work at microStart. Every day I decide carefully what to wear in order to not offend anyone. Yesterday I wore a long skirt and that was the perfect outfit for galavanting in the tea plantation. Before coming to Rwanda I read that locals in the countryside always wear long skirts and females wearing pants is for foreigners. It’s pretty much true I haven’t seen any local women with pants  in the hinterland. So I bought a lot of long skirts in Belgium and brought them here. People seem to appreciate it when women wear skirts. Dragging a heavily packed Longchamp purse and wearing Steve Maddden flats was a mistake though. Climbing over those rigs with that purse was a nightmare. Back to the backpack! The Steven Maddden flats killed my toes and were tossed to the thrash can when I got home. It caused blisters and burns. In the fields I saw a man with a toe wound and decided to help him. I finally got to use the medical kit that I have been carrying with me every day! Numerien thought I was being generous but hey I wish people stopped me in the streets in Belgium to help me if I had an injury. My philosophy be kind to strangers!

I had to drag myself to work today. I was jealous of the Muslims having a day off. So I hopped sleepy in the matatu (I now know the name for the taxi bus). All of a sudden while driving in the hills someone opened the door and jumped out! Well that woke me up for sure! It was a movie scene, that guy deserves a spot in mission impossible quite impressive. Apparently today the price was 100 Rwandan Francs (100 francs/750 = price in USD) more because it is a holiday and he didn’t agree. Bump that ! he must have thought and jumped. A second person tried to jump as well but everyone held him back. Haha he had to pay full price. I bet if he had jump it would have been disastrous. Arriving at work I was my jolly self again and ready to do this ! I immediately continued on the strategic plan, I have a clear idea of the problems the tea Union is facing. Numerien had nicely drafted a list of their problems. The President of the Union, Augustin also came to explain the consequences of their problems. We compared it to my analyses of the past few days and I seem to be spot on. My brain has been in over drive and I have come up with a lot of possible solutions, programs that need to be worked out. The problem of the tea Union is not only their problem is a community problem. Therefore Numerien needs to take a lead, I will draft him a challenging strategy that needs to be followed step by step. If he can implement the strategic plan, Numerien can create a strong union, a national union and have a leverage power at government level to help the cooperative members. I feel as if I am starting up microStart Antwerp from the beginning again. I had drafted a plan, strategy to be followed in order to become a successful microfinance agency. For 2015 I have to do the same but first Numerien’s plan. I will provide him with a project schedule that he has to follow and I am taking this cause to my heart. I will follow up the progress of the Union when back in Belgium. The Union has become my baby and I will raise it. After a few hours of typing, it was time to go back in the fields. Don’t forget we started work at 7:30. At 10:39 we are trying to get to the hinterland. https://www.francinecarron.com/blog/muslim-holiday-nationally-today-was-a-muslim monthly 0.5 2015-09-24 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5652277fe4b0991ab315ae73/1691654052813-MFBEQBM57PWMVUI1K25V/tumblr_nv6zb8pWXO1ubz1fbo1_1280.jpg Blog Muslim Holiday (nationally) Today was a Muslim holiday and national holiday. I thought I would get the day off. Boy was I wrong, Numerien had us all early at work. I got a big job the do. Well I can’t complain for having to work today as I learned so many new things. This morning Gisenyi looked as if it was a Muslim town only. Hundreds of Muslims were on their way to the mosque at 7:30 in the morning. I didn’t know there were so many Muslims in Rwanda. I need to check the religious statistics urgently because Numerien is Catholic and Jean de Dieu the bookkeeper Protestant and now I see many Muslims. I wasn’t aware of this. I thought this was a predominately Catholic country. I might be wrong. I should have known this as I hear the mosque prayers every day at 4 AM. Jean de Dieu told me that Muslims here are very rich. I asked him why he thinks that ? He said because they own all the for exchange agencies. Aha… I guess dealing with money makes your rich. I need to go check their commissions to find out this statement is true. https://www.francinecarron.com/blog/numeriens-favorite-beer-mutzig-and-my-nil monthly 0.5 2015-09-23 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5652277fe4b0991ab315ae73/1691654053002-FJFQBJ6O0ULIWXWWJVH9/tumblr_nv556sb2c21ubz1fbo1_1280.jpg Blog Numerien’s favorite beer #mutzig and my #Nil water.

How come these toilets don’t smell and are so clean ? I was afraid to go to the bathroom in the country side but when I got to go; I gots-to-go. To my big surprise this toilet was odorless and beyond clean! In general Rwanda is a very clean country. Every Saturday, it is national clean up day. The villages is in the country are clean as well. Rwandans don’t litter and the rule to prohibit plastic bags definitely pays off. Rwandans don’t like mess and are extremely polite. They don’t like people acting a fool according to Numerien. While we were in the taxi bus and the driver decided to speed in mountains, the passengers began shouting that they will call the police. The driver immediately slowed down. The police here isn’t corrupt and correct so people fear it. On the way to the tea factory we got stopped by a police road block. They searched the van for contraband. I thought that was great! There is no need for a country to be flooded with illegal products and the population tends to agree! I have nothing but good things to say about the people and the way this country is governed ! https://www.francinecarron.com/blog/this-is-the-fruit-i-keep-on-eating-and-dont-know monthly 0.5 2015-09-23 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5652277fe4b0991ab315ae73/1691654056568-CHEYNYSQHYYFZO2KIV7C/tumblr_nv45ibgipL1ubz1fbo1_1280.jpg Blog This is the fruit I keep on eating and don’t know the name of it ?

<p>When I walked out the airport both the organisation that I am going to be working for UTCCN (Union theicoles de la Crete Congo Nil) and the driver of Chez Lando (my friend Nausicaa’s mom is the owner) were awaiting me. </p> <p>Numerien Nsengumuremyi (UTCCN) & Cyrille Mwumvaneza (local representative of Exchangevzw) brought me as I had previously requested to Anne Marie and Joseph (my friend’s parents) and owners of Chez Lando Hotel in Kigali. Anne Marie Katengwa is such an impressive woman. She is tall, beautiful, kind, classy and a real business woman. I was so happy to see her and she immediately made me feel home. Joseph (my friend’s father and Anne Marie’s husband) is unbelievably friendly, welcoming and heartwarming. </p> <p>Both Anne Marie and Joseph are very highly educated Rwandans. Joseph even speaks Dutch ! That really caught me off guard. He said he hadn’t spoken it in a long time but yet he was fluent! <br> Joseph had lived, travelled and done business all over Europe. He knew every detail about Belgium and studied in Swiss. (@ Nausicaa if you are reading this: your parents are fantastic!) </p> <p>Anne Marie made sure I was at easy showed me the guest room as you can see from the picture above is beautiful. A large beautifully decorated room with view on an amazing garden. I took a picture (see above) of a peacock looking animal but I wasn’t sure what it was… anyone ?? In any case it makes a lot of noise. It sounds like the battery of a dying phone ;) </p> <p>The family, Numerien, Cyrille and I were served delicious food. We all talked for a few hours. (I found out that Cyrille speaks German and studied in Canada.) Another polyglot in the room! Numerien and Cyrille were very happy to have met the owners of Chez Lando through me. I am sure Cyrille will stay in touch with them. I had brought everyone gifts: Godiva chocolates for Numerien and Cyrille, a poncho for Anne Marie and two wines for Joseph (a true wine connoisseur). </p> <p>During our conversation Anne- Marie informed me about her hotel across the street (Chez Lando) of which I had a glimpse. I found out that Chez Lando is so much more than a hotel and everyone should know. </p> <p>Now why should anyone stay in Chez Lando when travelling to Kigali or Rwanda ? Let me give you 4 good reasons: </p> <p>1. It’s a family run hotel in Rwanda by Rwandans. <br> 2.The atmosphere is very welcoming and the owner (Anne Marie) immediately brings everyone at ease. <br> 3. The hotel’s food is amazing and the place is unbelievable clean. <br> 4. Anne Marie supports entire communities trough this hotel. How ? <br> All products used in the restaurant are locally and ecologically produced on their own 3 ha farmland. They have an entire team of people working on this field. Besides growing their own crops they also buy other locally and ecologically grown crops from female cooperatives!! Yes Anne Marie supports many women cooperatives. The products sold in the boutique are also from local farmers with fair trade labels. <br> The 84 bedroom hotel and executive apartment owner employs many people and also provides traineeships. Every year they take multiple interns from the hotel management schools and identify future potential. Many of these students are offered a job upon graduation at Chez Lando. The work atmosphere is fantastic as everyone aims at pleasing the customer while maintaining a familial feeling. </p> <p>I am sure there is so much more to Chez Lando but these are already good reasons to spend your next stay at this resident hotel in Kigali. </p> <p>Hope to see you there! Here is the link to the hotel and support Rwanda entrepreneurship ! </p> https://www.francinecarron.com/blog/arrival-in-rwanda-part-1-the-flight-after-a monthly 0.5 2015-09-20 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5652277fe4b0991ab315ae73/1691654077688-6GKUXZWMSNEF1QRN1GAY/tumblr_nuzm7hM1KF1ubz1fbo1_1280.jpg Blog Arrival in Rwanda - part 1: The flight After a flight of 8 hours I finally arrive in Kigali. The flight went great I sat next to a very interesting woman named Karina Weinstein, program director of FXB USA of FXB International with headquarters in Geneva and New York. FXB International helps the networks of the world’s poorest people (the bottom tiers). FXB works through a model of FXB villages providing basic needs of life such as housing, healthcare, food and education. It also provides training to create a business over time in order to become self sufficient within three years. FXB’ funding is coming from various donors such as USAID. I find it extremely interesting project as reaching out and helping the bottom tier in any society is an extremely difficult task. For more information on FXB International. Click here: https://fxb.org Besides talking about her work and my work and our missions in Rwanda (I explained her Exchangevzw, BNP Paribas & microStart); we had a great time talking about our sons and personal views of the world. Our opinions were very similar; definitely staying in touch with NYC based Karina! What was interesting on the flight was that it was packed with NGO workers. It’s clear that Rwanda is a great place for NGO workers as it a safe place which can guarantee safety to employees. Rwanda seems to be very open to foreign help and is very keen on continuous advancement. Many people on the flight were wearing t-shirts with the name of their NGO. So I noticed a lot of doctors on board for doctors without vacation. A lot of people from Water for Life (for Jesus) and other missionaries. We landed around 19:00 and my dad had arranged for the station manager from SN Brussels to meet me at the plane. I was happy disembark the plane and immediately talk to someone I know. Especially if you are travelling to a place you have never been, it puts you at ease. I have her Rwandese number so any issue I can always call her and explain my issue in Dutch. Not that I jam expecting issues, after years of travelling in Africa I am so ready for this. Though it is the first time that I travel to the Mama Africa without having a family member waiting for me. After a long line at immigration which is the most professional immigration line I have seen in Africa so far. Fingerprinting, questioning, pictures, etc… Well done Mr. Kagame ! I am liking this country already.

Leaving for Rwanda. This morning I received a message from my Rwandese friend Nausicaa not to bring any plastic bags as it is against the environmental policy in Rwanda. Apparently all plastic bags are removed out of the luggage at the airport. I don’t like people going through my stuff so I ran out of my bed, reopened my suitcases and removed all the plastic bags. Just in time for the taxi. Arriving on the Brussels ring there was a huge traffic jam and this on a SATURDAY! I got scared as this week, the airport exit was closed and people had to walk miles to the airport. I have 3 bags and a heavy purse; my heart started racing and the clock was ticking. I made it to the airport 1 hour before boarding and the Africa T terminal is at least half an hour walk. Finally at the Brussels Airlines desk I thought the stress would be over. I was wrong ! My hand luggage was overweight! My purse on its own weighted 16 kg; I must give it to Louis Vuitton those bags can carry a lot of weight. I had to re-divide my hand luggage amongst my suitcases. I am not only carrying a lot of clothes but a lot of paperwork and folders for the mission and folders to represent Exchangevzw at the Rwandan Board of Development. After re packing (you can already imagine how that looked) I got my tags and finally ready to go. Nausicaa had told me to get amibae pills at the pharmacy so I decided to spurt back. Fingers crossed I make it on time for boarding. Naturalich, a long line at the pharmacy just for her to tell me I need prescription! I could have guessed… This is Belgium. Well I had a nice work out and I am sitting in my seat. Hopefully my friend Anya from SNBrussels is working as cabin crew on my flight today… ;) ✈️ https://www.francinecarron.com/blog/the-evidence-suggests-that-the-truth-lies-in-the monthly 0.5 2015-09-18 https://www.francinecarron.com/blog/rwandabound monthly 0.5 2015-09-18 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5652277fe4b0991ab315ae73/1691654079686-C5UWVMR89GEI9L5FKECC/tumblr_ntvatgV02c1ubz1fbo1_500.gif Blog Rwandabound!  I have so many vaccinations from travelling all over the world and the most important vaccine to enter Rwanda with has expired. A quick stop at the Antwerp Tropical Institute (http://www.itg.be ) will do. I hate needles…pff… What else is on the list ? Guy Callebout, the coordinator for Rwanda Exchangevzw told me to pack a flashlight, umbrella, a rain coat and copy my passports. I ordered an impregnated pop up mosquito net as my hotel has no AC and I can’t live without AC. I ordered a mosquito net for my hat that I can use during the gorilla hike, I bought more mosquito sprays, a first aid kit with emergency blanket, Gopro Hero camera, power bank, trekking boots, backpack, poncho, sleeping bag, towels and A SELFIESTICK!  I am also packing a ton of granola bars for the long working hours! My suitcases are jam packed I am ready to experience the best or the worst as I have tons of medication with me.  I am totally ready to leave but afraid at the same time. Afraid that I will love Rwanda so much that it will be hard for me to return from the mission.   On this note night night.  https://www.francinecarron.com/blog/fi2020-week-to-convene-global-conversations-on monthly 0.5 2015-09-17 https://www.francinecarron.com/blog/holidayinrwanda monthly 0.5 2015-09-17 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5652277fe4b0991ab315ae73/1691654080459-FZ13RA0MGZB6I8UEG8VI/tumblr_ntvacteeEu1ubz1fbo1_1280.jpg Blog The Land of a thousand hills ! The preparatory work with Benevolab and Exchangevzw is done. My research is completed as well. I am ready to pack actually.  I realised that going on a mission will result into 18 hours of a work a day. (I remember how it was like setting up the microStart branch in Antwerp.) So I am pretty sure UCTCCN are going to want me working at 110% which I am more than happy to do. I want them to receive the best support ever. Hence I planned a vacation in a Rwanda after completing the mission.  While working there I am planning on taking a break to see the following:  1. Volcano/ gorilla hike visit Musanze caves  2. Go to Kibuye, relax do a boat ride and visit God’s bed  3. Complete the entire Nile - Congo trail by bike  4. Go to Akagera Safari Park  5. Visit Nyungwe, walk across the canopy and stop at the last Royal House.  Considering Rwanda is about the size of Belgium I looked at the map and figured that with a good SUV this should all be possible in 5 days. Although Rwanda has an extensive road network, I didn’t realise that Rwanda’s rural areas road network hasn’t been completed. Therefore road travel can be slow and complicated.  I had been given the price of 3600 USD that included 3 hotel nights in mid-luxury range hotels/lodging, private driver/car hire 4X4 SUV for 5 days, private guide, food, safari permit, gorilla permits, etc. I was surprised by this price. I knew that the price for a gorilla permit was 750 UD and had a budget of 2000 euro in mind. We are talking almost double now. I thought I was getting conned and decided to contact all the tour operators listed in the Rwandan Tours and Travel Association. http://www.rttarwanda.org/content/our-members I asked them to give me a quotation of the three different itineraries. I received many responses in a very short time. The prices were all between 3000 USD and 7000 USD. Some agencies had slightly adapted the itineraries and had given other hotel options. One tour operator even send me an excel sheet with everything detailed out.   I decided to drop Akagame Park as I am planning to conduct a safari in Tanzania next year. I also dropped the bike Nile Congo river ride as I bike as slow as a snail. I am not in the best shape of my life considering I used to run collegiate track. My friends have seen me bike and wonder each time how come I don’t fall off as my speed is almost at standstill. Many tourists in good shape havent been able to complete the bike ride. Cancelling those 2 activities brings the price down to 3250 USD. I am going to have to dig in my savings but I am convinced it will be worth every penny!  Now I need to start packing!  2 weeks in Gisenyi in the tea plantations, 1 week hiking and a few days visiting Kigali staying with my friend’s mom (Mrs. Anne-Marie Katengwa) who is the owner of Chez Lando in Kigali. As a female entrepreneur in Rwanda, she has a lot of important contacts and arranged for me a meeting to represent Exchangevzw at the Rwandan Board of Development (http://www.rdb.rw)  What do I need to take for a business/holiday trip?

The organisation is very welcoming and just wanted to explain their way of working. BenevoLab by BNP Paribas Fortis will coach me before the mission and take care of the airfare while Exchangevzw arranges the VISA, vaccinations, per diems and ‘Union des cooperatives Théicoles de la Crete Congo Nil’ takes care of the accommodation. Everything is clear and well organised. Now it is my turn getting in touch with ‘UCTCCN’ and understand the mission completely.  No matter how it goes I have already fallen in love with Rwanda. Below are my 9 reasons why I have already fallen in love with Rwanda.  1. Bisoko Volcano and Gorilla hike in  Musanze has me dreaming away… Apparently there are also non-touristic caves to visit.  2. Gisenyi/ Kibuye/ the Congo Nile trail looks lovely for a good bike and boat ride.  3. Kigali, a modern city with so much history. Nice bars, clubs, views of the land of the thousand hills. The fashion looks beyond trendy in Kigali, everyone knows I love African contemporary fashion so I cant wait to go shopping for prints in Kigali! 4. Akagera Game Park: A safari I havent done that before !  5. Nyungwe park: The canopy walk! I am so afraid of heights but I have to do this!  6. Hotel Rwanda: the Hollywood Genocide Rwanda movie was about Hotel des miles Collines by Kempinski. That definitely seems worth a visit.  7. Goma in Congo Kinshasha is 5 minutes away from Gisenyi. It is possible to cross the border via Gisenyi to Goma. (Unfortunately, Belgium’ foreign affairs department gives a negative advice to cross the border in Goma due to rebel activities on the Congolese side.)  8. Lake Kivu, photo via Pinterest via camera_Rwanda. Swimming in a volcanic lake that would be another first! People have melted/drowned in this lake as the volcano releases acids in the water. Apparently it is best to check where the local population swims and swim in the same spot.  9. I love tea and Rwanda produces the best premium quality tea in the world! I can’t wait to consult UCTCCN!  = Tea Lover consulting a Tea Co-op; I <3 it !  Now it is time to contact Union des cooperatives Théicoles de la Crete Congo nil, UCTCCN and get down to business. https://www.francinecarron.com/blog/if-governments-dont-help-we-can-refugeeswelcome monthly 0.5 2015-09-05 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5652277fe4b0991ab315ae73/1691654084343-IAQX91MW7VIKRE3XQDQ8/tumblr_nu7mi4gP0u1ubz1fbo1_1280.jpg Blog If governments don’t help we can! #refugeeswelcome #refugeecrisiseurope https://www.francinecarron.com/blog/preparingforrwanda monthly 0.5 2015-09-03 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5652277fe4b0991ab315ae73/1691654084635-NE5Q8QX6XPB7OVLUSJ2F/tumblr_ntv3ozM2Ah1ubz1fbo1_250.jpg Blog Preparing for Rwanda!  Before starting to discuss the entire project with the Rwandan Organisation  ‘Union des cooperatives Théicoles de la Crete Congo Nil - UCTCCN’ I have to be interviewed by Exhange vzw. (http://www.exchangevzw.be)  Exchange vzw is a Belgian organisation that offers companies and organisations the possibility to benefit from a wide range of voluntary top experts. Exchange offers expertise almost for free so that companies in developing countries can grow the (local) economy to create new jobs. Companies and socio-economic organisations whom comply with a set of clearly defined selection criteria can apply for assistance of a volunteer expert. Exchange vzw learned throughout the years that there is a tangible need for assistance on a technical or management level. What is Exchange vzw procedure ? The selected volunteer expert and the company exchange of knowledge takes place directly. The entrepreneur/ company asks himself for expertise as he understands best what the needs of the company exactly are. The company decides which expert he wishes to collaborate with. (Me in this case!..yay.) Afterwards, an intensive exchange of knowledge and cross-pollination between both parties takes place. Exchange obtains tangible results with an absolute minimum of means. Voluntary high-level experts with the right competences, a proven track record and intrinsic motivation help companies expand or improve. Exchange funds itself via private companies and subsidies in the West whom are interested in giving ‘free consulting’ to help other companies.   I am nervous about the interview with Exchangevzw, it feels like going to a job interview all over again! What wil they ask? I am not a tea expert - I am knowledgable about the genocide but I am not an expert on Central and East Africa… So everything continues with Google search… 1. Youtube: is a good help starting with the US Policy toward Rwanda - Congressional hearing held on May 20, 2015 : 2,5 hours of listening while cleaning around the house gives you a little maybe ?‘biased?  inside into Rwandan politics at the moment https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JMPSNh690NY 2. While reading the history of Rwanda all over again, I was shocked to find out that it was the Belgians who created such a large division between the Hutus and Tutsis. The Belgian colonials arrived and measured the noses of the local population. Hutus had bigger noses whereas Tutsis had slimmer more European-like noses. Everyone received an ID card that said whether they were Hutus or Tutsis. Such a division didn’t really exist in pre-colonial Rwanda. Being a Hutu or a Tutsi had more to do with how much wealth a person had. However, it was the Belgians who created the ethnical divide in Rwanda which later was a basis for genocide propoganda. While growing up in Belgium, we were not taught in elementary school why there was such a division between Hutus and Tutsis. We used to watch the news in 1994 of the genocide in school and were thought that it was the savage behaviour of the African people. (A good thing that there is now a movement called #TheAfricaTheMediaNeverShowsYou). The 1994 genocide images have always stuck with me,… the red-colored rivers, the dead bodies floating…as a child I felt much pain for the Rwandan people.  Enough history read,  3. Tripadvisor: While going through traveller photos my love for Rwanda is growing stronger. Magnificent pictures by those travellers, I can’t get enough. Those mountains are beyond fantastic. My friends are telling me: ‘Now that you have seen the entire country online there is no more point to go.’ They are scared that I will be travelling alone. Most people still have those horrible genocide pictures of Rwanda in their head. After viewing Rwanda’s nature for hours I am convinced this might be the most beautiful place on earth.  4. Pinterest & Instagram: are good tools to learn about activities in Rwanda. On Instagram I learned that women are allowed in the Rwandan army just as Israel. Rwanda is one of the largest contributors of soldiers to the UN deployment missions. Rwanda also has 60% women in the government. Seems like Rwanda is the place to be for career driven women. #noglassceiling All of a sudden Rwanda is starting to sound as a better place to live than Belgium. 5. Stromae: is the most famous Belgian international artists and is of Rwandan origin. After scrolling down on his Facebook page I read that he has cancelled his concerts in Congo and Rwanda. It might be moved to September. Hopefully I ll be there as well! I definitely can’t wait to sing a long to Papaoutai in Kigali.  6. My personal contacts/ The importance of alumni networks: Who better to contact than my Rwandese friend Nausicaa HK whom I went to the international university (http://www.vesalius.edu) Vesalius College with in 2003?  Last time I checked Nausicaa was working as a communication officer for UNDP in Kigali. I contact her on Facebook, Ubuntu she says! In no time I know everything about Rwanda and now have a place to stay in Kigali as Nausicaa is inviting me. That makes me think…Who else do I know? Aha!  Anne-Marie from SN Brussels was previously station manager in Monrovia and is now based in Kigali. It seems as if I am going to have a good time  in Rwanda and now I am ready for the interview with Exchangevzw. https://www.francinecarron.com/blog/on-my-way-to-work-i-see-a-lot-of-depressing-faces monthly 0.5 2015-09-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5652277fe4b0991ab315ae73/1691654084819-5J9ATTZZDJNTFR7JRX08/tumblr_nu1eq3JcyB1ubz1fbo1_1280.jpg Blog On my way to work I see a lot of depressing faces… Not me though; I love my job!

A year and half ago I set up a microfinance branch in Antwerp, Belgium for microStart the largest microfinance institution in the country. I was so excited to have been selected for this particular function. It has been my long time career dream to combine business and social work. Due to long, intensive working hours and a great team that I hired our microfinance branch has become a success. It was a tough time but looking back we had so much fun. Being a microfinance manager is no longer a job but it has become my life style. Now that we have exceeded our targets and the agency is running smoothly I have time again for new personal ventures. So I began searching around… As microStart shares are 70% owned by BNP Paribas ‘Fortis’, (one of the largest bank groups in the world https://www.bnpparibasfortis.be ), I came in contact with BenevoLab headed by Chantal Katamari. (http://benevolab.org) BenevoLab is an organisation supported by BNP Paribas Fortis that offers everyone the opportunity to volunteer their skills to MicroFinance Institutions (MFI) and international NGO working on projects with a high social and economic impact. In my office, I work constantly with volunteers supporting our customers and agency so I thought to myself why not take a short time off and take on the challenge to volunteer myself? BenevoLab send me different missions across the world and I applied for a mission in Gisenyi, Rwanda. I had never been to East Africa and I have been dying to go for the longest. I was beyond happy to find out that the Rwandese organisation had selected my CV versus someone with +25 years of experience. They had written me an email that they were delighted to have my expertise due to the fact I had already set up a microfinance branch. Ten years of hard work living, studying and working in Brussels, Antwerp, Beaumont, Monrovia, Houston, Nashik, Pune,  Sevilla, Lagos, Rotterdam, Paris, Lissabon, Abuja, Port Harcourt while raising my kid; I am now going to Kigali, Gisenyi Rwanda for a short time!  The mission/project is to develop a strategic plan for L’Union des cooperatives  Théicoles de la Crete Congo Nil, UCTCCN and proposing a framework for setting up a microfinance institution.  https://www.francinecarron.com/blog/tag/pope monthly 0.5 https://www.francinecarron.com/blog/tag/nyungweforestlodge monthly 0.5

Here the key was to assist unions financially so they can help the bottom poor employees with for example free day care for children.

Today we raised #awareness for #cerebralpalsy in #accra with the help of our first #brandambassador @rabbybray ! She has such a great heart ❤️ ! You might wonder what is #CP ? Cerebral palsy is an umbrella term that refers to a group of #disorders affecting a person’s ability to move. It is due to damage to the developing brain either during #pregnancy or shortly after birth. Cerebral palsy affects people in different ways and can affect body movement, muscle control, muscle coordination, muscle tone, reflex, posture and balance. Although cerebral palsy is a permanent life-long condition, some of these signs of cerebral palsy can improve or worsen over time. People who have cerebral palsy may also have visual, learning, hearing, speech, #epilepsy and intellectual #impairments. #faytexcaresforyou #westafrica #csr #socialwork #giveback #humanrights #disabilities #supportwomen #supportyourcommunity #menstruation https://www.francinecarron.com/theinclusionmasala/we-do-small-things-with-great-love-its-amazing monthly 0.5 2017-12-23 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5652277fe4b0991ab315ae73/1692612334359-EGO2GUF4R570PKVV63PD/tumblr_p1fp7mLhv01ubz1fbo1_1280.jpg The Inclusion Masala We do small things with great love !

The majority of them have no access to clean and safe sanitary products, or to a clean and private space in which to change menstrual cloths or pads and to wash. Poor protection and inadequate washing facilities may increase susceptibility to infection, with the odour of menstrual blood putting girls at risk of being stigmatized. Therefore it’s important to have access to clean water and always wash your hands first before touching your genitalia. #globalhandwashingday @wateraid_ghana #wash #menstrualhygienemanagement #faytexcaresforyou #unicef (bij Accra, Ghana) https://www.francinecarron.com/theinclusionmasala/we-love-the-beyonce-freedom-song-for-idg-have monthly 0.5 2017-10-14 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5652277fe4b0991ab315ae73/1692612346054-2579HYHKE0S37TFSL39C/tumblr_oxtswoQGkO1ubz1fbo1_640.jpg The Inclusion Masala We love the @beyonce #freedom song for #idg - Have you all seen it ?

Its been a while that I have posted but I am going to take it up again… and I failed. So this time around I am not going to begin like that. I dont even remember how I was sometimes able to post daily such long articles…With age I must have gotten slower (laughing to myself right now) I actually waited to this date specifically to announce the new title of my blog that better reflects the work I do today. Today it is International Day of a Girl Child and the company I am currently consulting for empowers young girls. Hence the choice to publish a revamp specifically today! Three years ago I started with the blog microfinancemasala. It covered my work as a microfinance branch manager and expert (volunteer) trips to North and East Africa relationg to microfinance, business development, labour unions and entrepreneurship. Two years in the position I left and began working independently as a financial inclusion consultant. However, financial inclusion related matters arent my only capabilities. I have plus 12 years of experience in business development for SME’s, corporation, NGO’s, INGO’s and labour unions. I consider myself a global manager with expertise in financial reporting, PR & (off)online communications, marketing, sales, staff development, governmental affairs, strategy development, community management and menstrual hygiene management. I am a professional with a purpose. In order to reflect my capacities better and the consultancy I provide I changed the name of my blog from microfinancemasala to The Inclusion Masala! This means financial inclusion, general management, corporate affairs, community management, business development and gender management. This summer I even worked as a on site general manager of Magritte Knokke Heist. A virtual reality art pop up on the beach in Belgium. My tasks covered everything from staff management, event management, adminstration, customer relations to financial reporting and so on. I will defenitely post some pictures about this later but what I have been dying to talk about is the current consultancy. Like I said professional with a purpose ! I am currently being a (consultant) corporate affairs and community manager for Fay International ltd. They are the sole producers of safe and sanitary pads in Ghana, West Africa. I emphasize the words safe here as these pads do not contain any chlorine, dioxine, plastics, rayon, laytex or other chemicals. With these pads girls arent allowing dangerous chemicals to enter their bodies and develop cancers. Due to the organic cotton in the pads, they are very friendly for tropical weather. No more itching and scratching due to the heat and laytex touching your skin. I have tried them myself and they are so soft. (You would want to wear them all the time just to feel the softness.) These pads are produced under the brand name Faytex in Accra. The factory is mostly completely made up of women and was founded by a woman. The mission of the company is to provide safe and affordable healthcare to all the regions in Ghana. Safe as their are too many dangerous foreign substitute on the market and affordable as many of the Ghanian girls cant afford pads. Period. Through their corporate social responsiblity program: Faytex finds it their duty to englighten young girls in menstrual hygiene management. There is a high level of absenteism in schools due to taboos around menstruation, improper explanations and just the fact they cant afford sanitary pads. Therefore, together with senior leadership I am developing strategies to exectute their social cause and make Faytex accessible across Ghana. One program that we are currently rolling out is the Faytex Ambassador program. This program will allow young girls to enhance their own leadership skills by teaching their peers menstrual hygiene management. As one knows from my microfinacemasala blog (articles remain available) on this blog, everytime I work on a new project I am completely devouted and passionate about it! No more posting everyday but defenitely every month. (and hopefully more) Lets celebrate this new project with me and more importantly International Day of the Girl because nations that take care of their girls will prosper! Help me empower girls! Today we stand (actually everyday) against sexual harassment, equal rights for girls, proper menstrual hygiene management, education and bringing girls on top! I Quote: “If girls are empowered as much as boys in technology - we can make a lot of progress”!@unwomen P.S: picture of myself (3rd child from the right with the white sweater & white scrunchy) in 2nd grade at the all girl school - Onze Lieve Vrouw Presentatie in Boom, Belgium.

Love to all women whether they are taking care of their households, are entrepreneurs or employed. Truth of the matter is women work multiple jobs every day. We try to be caring mothers, take care of our husbands, children, support our colleagues, prepare three meals a day and attempt to shatter glass ceilings. However, everyday we are put through either perverted comments on the way to work (at work) or even to the store. We don’t get paid equally no matter the amount of degrees we have and some of us get a nice portion of racism on top of that. Whether you are living in a developed or underdeveloped country; The reality is the same. Some countries have indeed better laws but it doesn’t take away of how women are treated everyday (with disrepect) in daily life. Sometimes the West is just better at hiding their tactics of female discrimination while other countries publicly state it. We are all suffering the same faith and for that I am standing here today with my fellow sisters around the world! https://www.francinecarron.com/theinclusionmasala/p-right-on-time-to-still-wish-a-happy-new-year monthly 0.5 2017-01-24 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5652277fe4b0991ab315ae73/1692612347349-YOYKDSVCB2LUDL32TDC8/tumblr_okabripRCu1ubz1fbo1_1280.jpg The Inclusion Masala p>Right on time to still wish a Happy New Year ! My promise for 2017! It’s been a while since I have written on the blog. I am thinking the last time I blogged I was on mission in Burkina Faso. The past 2 years, I was very active writing articles on my blog and due to an even more overloaded work schedule I had to reduce my online presence. However, I am hoping to find a good balance this year with about one post a month. That is my online promise for 2017! I did take down Facebook and Instagram as I would like to keep my social presence purely professional. So no more time wasting about where I went for dinner and what holiday I went on. This way I can focus on good articles and keep you guys interested in working for the informal worker rights and microfinance. The first day back at work: My face appears on this year’s diversity calendar of the Belgian Liberal Trade Union as slogan - Together for 2017 ! 2017 is the year we all must work together - solidarity is the key word to unite people. However, many people including new presidents use these words but will the end result be the same ?? Well looking at our calendar it is easy to see that the union stands for diversity, respect and solidarity. Solidarity is reflected into our union program MIS Movement for International Solidarity or in Dutch ~ BIS (Beweging voor Internationale Solidariteit). This Year my 2 focus countries will be Congo and Burundi. We have split the tasks of managing East & West Africa. After our mission in Burkina Faso we realized that the workload of combining East & West Africa was too much. I am very excited to soon be traveling to Congo, to see the work of the Kananga union in action. The focus here is on women. I don’t want to go to much in detail on the program as I want to dedicate a post to this particular gender empowering mission soon. End of 2016 ? I am writing about 2017 and the plans but how did I close 2016 ? After Ouagadougou I went on a training about development aid. I thought I knew it all and questioned why I had to go to 11.11.11 for an introduction to development aid. I wrote my master thesis on the fourth pillar of development aid … I have worked in the field and from the desk. Well, I was wrong ! I learnt many new aspects. 11.11.11 took us through the history of development aid. The politics of binding aid and non binding aid. Binding aid is the most common form of development aid in which donor nations only send funds if there is an economic, political or military return for themselves. Yikes ! Dirty … however binding aid policies were a trend once before and are now back again. Didn’t President Trump say we should have taken Iraq’s oil?… Well, development aid is leaning more towards the ‘what is in it for us?’. Meaning what is in it for the Donor States. Development aid has been scrutinized over the years as it hasn’t been working like it should over the past decades, but it isn’t development aid alone. Immensely huge figures of development aid are always shown to the tax payers but how much of these figures are actually real? For example, if a donor country cancels past governmental debt - this figure can be included in the development figures as money spent. Although no actual money was wired; therefore certain amounts are counted for double. I was definitely not aware of this! Most people think that most African nations depend on development aid while this is not the case. Only the poorest nations do but even then it is not sufficient. A good example is Burkina Faso, the poorest country in Africa that depends largely on aid. 11.11.11 also presented the EFQM quality model of the Belgian NGO sector, a commitment to excellence process for development aid. In development aid we have a lot of reporting. Sometimes even too much reporting. Donor countries want to be able to measure everything and sometimes I wonder if we have entered the era of development aid for reporting ? Let’s see… I read the 2017 report of the government policies in relation to aid… time will tell!

People are so sexist (this counts for men & women) that they rather have #Trump as #President then a strong woman with a proven political track record. #Hilary has traits that most men don’t like in women and most women envy Hilary. Women writing that they are happy the *itch didn’t win - You guys are sad. America could handle a “black” (mixed race to be correct) President but not a woman.

Due to the distances it was quite a challenging project but I enjoyed it so much. I learned a lot about Moroccan culture and most of all the struggle of Moroccan women in their society that is slowly leaning to be more women friendly. As a wrote before project such as AFEM supported by the King of Morocco are ideal. Many foreign development agencies are keeping themselves busy with coming to aid to the development of Moroccan business leaders. My task was to provide 2 coaching sessions in each city. In Antwerp I prepared a Business Model Canvas presentation in order to easily develop a business plan. This is a good tool for revising maybe your strategy in the existing company and for the starters to develop their business plans. Also Moroccan female aspiring business leaders can request to be in the program Min Ajliki. This is an incubator in which the women whom passed the selection committee receive 18 months of free coaching and office space. The second coaching session I prepared was marketing and social media marketing. My favourite ! The female business leaders seem to be also most interested in marketing and social media. All the women were very highly educated which is opposite of our customers at microStart. No one was less than master qualified. The majority of them were industrial engineers. A few had given up and started their business to avoid the corporate struggle with men. Working twice as hard to be respected on for half of the work. Find below some of the activities planning to be launched or already started: (The names are probably misspelled.) Karima: Personal Development Coach Hama: Artisinal custom made carpets Hadjida: 3 star hotel in El Jadida Fatima: event marketing company Saida: language centre Ream: safe toy company for kids Wafa: daycare Jalal: Communication PR Haicha: interior design Gena: pret a porter Karima: Ecological products Fatima: corporate consulting Zena: coaching computers Naima: painter Jihenna: pret a porter Marianne: pret a parter Khadija: steel company The other names I really couldn’t understand but there is still a glass company, HR consulting bureau and an online archiving company. Definitely worth the projects ! Giving these trainings in French, being flexible at all times, staying relax and entertaining women from another culture is another skill I can add to my CV.

This is the title written by Exchangevzw in their newsletter. The article in Dutch describes my work here in Morocco and in Belgium mentioning the fact that I am (as you know) a social media fanatic. They have officially labeled my social media tactics a storm and I love it. I also give trainings in social media marketing so I should be able to create storms all the time :) I want everyone to know about the work of Exchangevzw, the work of the Moroccan female Association and the work of APEFE Belgium in supporting women projects. Good things can’t remain unnoticed.

It is not only a perfectly preserved example of the #alouite dynasty’s architectural style, but it is the final resting place of three significant members of the #royalfamily. Here visitors and locals are able to pay their respect to these leaders and marvel at the detailed and beautifully designed mausoleum. It is both a tomb and a mosque and the Mohamed V Mausoleum is one of the few holy places that are open to the public. The Mausoleum of Mohamed V is located in the Yacoub Al Mansour Square and stands across from the Hassan Tower, another building that was commission by King Hassan II. It is easily recognizable by its white walls and green-tiled roof. The interior has been finished in white marble and granite floors and walls and a beautiful granite block with a headstone indicates the final resting place of the great king. The sliding doors and ceiling have also been carved in breathtaking motifs and designs. Spectacular chandeliers light up the room that is complete with red carpets on the stairs and flags.

EL JADIDA Yesterday, we held the second day of trainings in Tangier. This time I was giving a coaching session on marketing and social media. I prepared an interactive session in which the participants had to create a logo, slogan for their company, find key words for SEO and learn how to use and choose hashtag words. There was also an introduction to the latest applications such as snapchat. It was very obvious during the training sessions that there was a generational gap amongst the future entrepreneurs. The young Moroccan ladies in their twenties ready to develop their startups and the older generation in their forties who run existing enterprises. The clash was very obvious amongst the believers of the power of social media as a marketing tool and the non believers. Yet I managed to convince the trainers/coaches of ANAPEC to utilise social media to reach out to their audience. After another lovely French lunch in Hotel Farah Tangier we headed out to Casablanca. It was a 4,5 hour drive. We had quite some traffic on the way. Chahine Majoub (Senior Manager of APEFEASBL Morocco) and I had a longgg conversation on the road. It is fantastic to experience a culture, a country this way. These missions are a learning experience for me as well. The female Moroccan entrepreneurs, the members of AFEM and passionate, professionals such as Chahine Majoub inspire me to even do better. Morocco is really growing on me. I am starting to feel as if Morocco is a better version of France. Not only the climate is better but the openness of the Moroccan people is very charming. The willingness of the young generation to develop to become something is fantastic to experience. Today, this Friday we left early in the morning for another 120 Km to El JADIDA. A town outside of Casablanca in the province of El Jadida. Due to circumstances, the coaching began much later in the day and so I adapted the entire schedule. We had a full day of business model planning and marketing. We managed to crush 2 days of training into 1. The candidates were extra ordinary. One woman is developing custom made carpets through local cooperatives. Another woman is developing a secure toy start up company and developing a master franchise for children education. One is opening a psychology consult in office. Another young woman owned a language institute. Amongst the existing entrepreneurs was a hotel owner, a metal company owner and a consulting firm QSE. All of the women had 1 or more masters or MBA. Big Bravo to all of them! I will be posting later links to their companies for all of you to like & hopefully support! Inshallah Finally we have made it back from EL JADIDA! Chahine Majoub gets to spend time with his children as we have been traveling together for a week. It’s a three day weekend so you won’t hear me complaining. :) https://www.francinecarron.com/theinclusionmasala/road-from-tangier-2-casablanca monthly 0.5 2016-01-07 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5652277fe4b0991ab315ae73/1692612407462-2MHET123TH6TDY1GWDP9/tumblr_o0loz8oLyG1ubz1fbo1_1280.jpg The Inclusion Masala Road from #tangier 2 #casablanca #beautifulmorocco #northafrica #thistooisafrica (at Casablanca, Morocco) https://www.francinecarron.com/theinclusionmasala/45-hours-on-the-road-tangier-to-casablanca monthly 0.5 2016-01-07 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5652277fe4b0991ab315ae73/1692612407849-IYG3Z9F22YEPNZNRJT5M/tumblr_o0lomv6ZPl1ubz1fbo1_1280.jpg The Inclusion Masala 4,5 hours on the road ! #tangier To #casablanca #northafrica to continue our mission to #coach #morrocan #female #enterpreneurs in #entrepreneurship #socialmedia #marketing supported by #apefe #anapec @exchangevzw https://www.francinecarron.com/theinclusionmasala/ready-to-start-a-marketing-socialmedia-coaching monthly 0.5 2016-01-07 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5652277fe4b0991ab315ae73/1692612408512-G7WLUPQNTXMJ92B0A0QA/tumblr_o0krjybtNb1ubz1fbo1_1280.jpg The Inclusion Masala Ready to start a #marketing #socialmedia #coaching session for #morrocan #female #enterpreneurs working on their #startup in #tangier #northafrica Last day in this city, moving to another city to give more #trainings supported by @exchangevzw #apefe (at Hotel Tanger Farah 5 Etoiles) https://www.francinecarron.com/theinclusionmasala/day-1-the-art-of-entrepreneurship-at-9-am-the monthly 0.5 2016-01-06 https://www.francinecarron.com/theinclusionmasala/they-are-definitely-well-organised-and-my monthly 0.5 2016-01-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5652277fe4b0991ab315ae73/1692612408817-J8YZZAY5J7CWGGCVW4PC/tumblr_o0jawiMtrL1ubz1fbo1_1280.jpg The Inclusion Masala They are definitely well organised and my #coaching efforts are being rewarded deliciously! #morocco #tangier #northafrica @exchangevzw #apefe #afem #anapec #entrepreneurship #startup (at Hotel Tanger Farah 5 Etoiles) https://www.francinecarron.com/theinclusionmasala/lunch-with-the-morrocan-ladies-soon-they-will monthly 0.5 2016-01-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5652277fe4b0991ab315ae73/1692612409023-ZACHR07WREKTIJBQH6UK/tumblr_o0jah09t4s1ubz1fbo1_1280.jpg The Inclusion Masala Lunch with the #morrocan ladies.

Last one for 2015  The choice of this week goes to Austin who set up Austin Beenhouwerij in the area zip coded 2060 in Antwerp. Austin Beenhouwerij as it is called is located in the Dambruggestraat 26, right by our microStart office. Austin, is the first black butcher (Nigerian origin) in the neighbourhood and maybe even in town.

It was my first coordination meeting for Exchangevzw and I was super excited. I got to introduce microStart and compare it to Microfinance in the South. A presentation that took me a while to make. I am afraid it was actually still a bit too complicated :s Junior Chamber international also came to present their organisation and how their member network involves civic engagement. I have agreed to become the country coordinator of Uganda for Exchangevzw so this first meeting was very important to me. I can’t wait to dedicate my dream time to this position. You will see me in Uganda soon. https://www.francinecarron.com/theinclusionmasala/islamic-finance-currently-following-a-session monthly 0.5 2015-12-01 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5652277fe4b0991ab315ae73/1692612431470-702W9M8JGSM5MPAOW2B0/tumblr_nyp0dov9791ubz1fbo1_1280.jpg The Inclusion Masala Islamic finance Currently following a session on Islamic finance given by Daud Vicary Abdullah from INCEIF; International Center for Education in Islamic Finance. Understanding what, how and where in Islamic Finance including Sharia’ in finance. The reason I am following this session is that microStart also gives ‘halal microcredit or shariah conform microcredits. We received a fatwa for our microloans via Embassy of Egypt in Paris. However, there is so much more about Islamic finance than receiving a fatwa. Firstly, one has to understand the real economy meaning real jobs not virtual financial turnarounds. Secondly, Islam needs to be understood. Thirdly, the idea of risk sharing has to be comprehended and the mindset has to change. A small note he mentioned which is food for thought trying to understand Islamic finance is about the Islamist index. The Islamist Index is an analyses of all countries in the world to check how Islamic they are. The most Islamic country was New Zeeland. The first Islamic country on the list was Maleysia taking the 34th spot while Saoudi Arabia came 120th. Israel even came before Malaysia.

We had talked the entire way both professionally and private. It was through Karina that I got to know FXB and gave the tea Union (UCTCCN) the idea to work with FXB Village in Gisenyi. The project is currently being worked on in Rwanda. I had told Karina that I would be in New York for Thanksgiving and would come say hi. So we met up this afternoon in the city. It was great seeing her again, catching up on her experience and my experience in Rwanda. Work at FXB seems to be going pretty well and hopefully I get to meet her soon in a different country! This is the reason why you need to talk on flights, a project was started and new friendships were made. Oh her son is the cutest! In the photo: Karina and I in NYC!

Get ideas for all levels of action here: Things you can do from your couch Save electricity: Turn off the lights and appliances when not in use, including your computer. Share, don’t just like. If you see an interesting social media post about women’s rights or climate change, share it so folks in your network see it too. Do a bit of online research and buy only from companies that you know have sustainable practices and don’t harm the environment. Things you can do at home Air dry. Let your hair and clothes dry naturally instead of running a machine. If you do wash your clothes, make sure the load is full. Take short showers. Bathtubs require gallons more water than a 5-10 minute shower. Eat less meat, poultry, and fish. More resources are used to provide meat than plants. Things you can do outside your house Shop local and smart. Supporting neighbourhood businesses keeps people employed. Plan ahead to avoid buying too much food, and bring your own bag. Bike, walk or take public transport. Save the car trips for when you’ve got a big group. Use a refillable water bottle and coffee cup. Cut down on waste and maybe even save money at the coffee shop. Take advantage of your right to elect the leaders in your country and local community. These are only a few of the things you can do.

Shakuma Fitness This week’s customer of the week is Shakuma Fitness, owner Francis Abutoh aka King Franky! This week was our 1 year anniversary week and we had invited Shakuma Fitness to set in the 2nd year. The owner, King Franky of Nigerian descent has been working for years on this project and every year it has been growing bit by bit. Shakuma is African fitness, we all tried it outside our office and I assure you the workout is not a joke. After 10 minutes we were beat! However, the rhythms of the African beat keeps you going. The concept could be compared to Zumba but much better. Shakuma Fitness is now selling licences for franchises. Do you want to become a Shakuma instructor or bring the concept to your country?

against injustice ? #notanasshole People ask me why I fight for things that I have nothing to do with me ? Well the answer is simple just as the picture. I am not an asshole and I can’t handle injustice. Poverty? I didn’t grow up poor yet I fight for those that can’t fight for themselves. I have seen poverty on different continents and it’s an ugly thing. No one deserves poverty and no one is or was meant to be poor. Do I know people in poverty yes! & I fight for them. Those in poverty I don’t know I am advocating and through my job in Microfinance I try to the best I can from the position I am Slavery? Am I a descendant of slaves? Am I African American? Am I a Native American ? No. Were my ancestors enslaved ? No. Yet I stand by those who want justice for slavery. I stand by those that would like to speak, openly and truthfully about slavery. I stand by those who have been discriminated by slavery. I want everyone to be treated equal. Racism/ discrimination? Do I get discriminated a lot? Not really. Do I have to deal with a lot of racism ? Not really. Why do I fight for this then? Because it’s wrong! No one should be discriminated and no one should have one grain of racism in them. Do I know a lot of people dealing with severe racism and discrimination every day? Countless! How can we turn away from this and not speak up? Not me I will make you face it. Homosexuality? Am I gay ? No - why do I care? We are all humans no? Why care about someone’s preference? I stand by them. Religion? We all share the same God and gods. I stand by all religion. Do I believe in freedom of religion? Yes! I stand by my Muslim brother, Christian sister, Atheist grandfather, Hindu family, Jewish relative… Climate? Yes I will fight against pollution and climate change. Colonisation? Did I live under colonisation no? Do I know people that lived under this rule? Yes! Do I know colonisers ? Yes. Do I understand the consequences of colonisation and do I openly discuss them and fight for those oppressed. Animal slaughter? By now you can fill in the blanks… My list is endless! My point ?? Face the truth and fight injustice. Learn to understand each other make peace and never discriminate! Don’t be an ass; all evil comes from that. https://www.francinecarron.com/theinclusionmasala/pray-for-the-world-i-came-across-this-little monthly 0.5 2015-11-14 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5652277fe4b0991ab315ae73/1692612450732-9435R4ID1UEBAINB8RJ7/tumblr_nxsx6nVzzt1ubz1fbo1_1280.png The Inclusion Masala Pray for the world I came across this little text and decided to repost it as it is a message of truth.

Minister van buitenlandse zaken van Rwanda, Louise Mushikiwabo bezocht 2 dagen geleden België. Deze straffe dame is de tante van mijn vriendin Nausicaa H.K en natuurlijk de zus van Anne Marie Katengwa, manager van Chez Lando waar ik vele dagen ben verbleven tijdens mijn trip in Rwanda. Hopelijk krijg ik de kans haar op haar volgend bezoek te ontmoeten of misschien in Rwanda volgende keer. Hieronder het verslag van diplomatie.be Vicepremier en minister van Buitenlandse Zaken Didier Reynders heeft vandaag zijn Rwandese ambtsgenote Louise Mushikiwabo ontvangen, minister van Buitenlandse Zaken en Internationale Samenwerking. In het kader van de permanente dialoog tussen België en Rwanda spraken de twee ministers over de bilaterale betrekkingen, de situatie in Rwanda, regionale aangelegenheden en de internationale politiek. Op verzoek van minister Reynders heeft Louise Mushikiwabo uitleg gegeven over de debatten die in het Rwandese parlement aan de gang zijn over de wijzigingen aan de grondwet. Didier Reynders heeft gezegd dat ons land dat opvolgt en dat het aandacht zal hebben voor wat wordt voorgesteld en voor het verloop van het herzieningsproces. https://www.francinecarron.com/theinclusionmasala/love-yourself-enough-to-surround-yourself-with monthly 0.5 2015-11-02 https://www.francinecarron.com/theinclusionmasala/coolest-ceo-in-microfinance-this-price-goes-to monthly 0.5 2015-10-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5652277fe4b0991ab315ae73/1692612460015-HUZHGLAW56RM1UQ31A22/tumblr_nx30wjsLlR1ubz1fbo1_1280.png The Inclusion Masala Coolest CEO in Microfinance This price goes to Patrick Sapy, CEO of microStart and head of the European Microfinance Network!

Not the best, best guacamole but if you are in the mood for something different in Kigali. Then yeah, why not try. The fish tacos are very yummy & the lamb sliders as well! 3) ZEN restaurant: I liked it a lot. They have Vietnamese, Chinese, Thai and Japanese. Their duck rolls are excellent.

Not a good ceasar salad. 8) BOURBON coffee: I liked their burgers. Always good for a quick bite. Nausicaa also mentioned Papyrus and Republic as places to go. Fashion in Kigali: 1) Francis Zahabu, whose atelier is across the street from Chez Lando. 2) Inzuki designs in downtown, next to La Sierra, it’s worth a visit. 3) MillesCollines Fashion 4) Naleli Rugege’s atelier in Kimihurura 5) Ex- Miss Tanzania Boutique Gisenyi 1) KIVU GORILLA Hotel: No good food! 2) INZU LODGE: Great food, lovely!

It’s mostly rice, spaghetti, French fries, beans, bananas, potatoes and manioc. All in 1. The hotel I loved the most is Nyungwe Forest Lodge. Mountain Gorilla lodge was very nice too.

CPF Ineza, the microfinance agency I am now working for has its opening’s hours from 7AM to 8PM. I thought that we worked hard at microStart. I guess I was wrong. We work long hours but not 6 on 7 like that! That meant that I have to wake up for work super early again! Pshhttt… The weather is quite cold and I am not prepared for it. Gitarama is cold. Last night I slept in a sleeping bag underneath the comforter with an extra blanket. I was freezing and the hotel doesn’t have heaters. I never thought that it could get so cold in Rwanda, while not being on a mountain. I have a severe cold, hopefully I am not getting the flu. I would be upset if I return home with the flu from Africa. I am staying in a nice hotel in Gitarama. I told Cyrille from Exchange that I wasn’t going to stay in some priest, sister or silly guesthouse again. Those two weeks in Gisenyi with the priest was more than enough. A little comfort is needed while being sick. Cyrille brought me to the Splendid, another consultant had stayed here before. Splendid it is. Yesterday, I covered with the manager of CPF Ineza the status quo of the microfinance agency. Although, waking up sick I was on a mission to complete a business plan in 2 day. When I arrived at work, I was ready to attack but I was dragged into the back room. Every morning starts with a prayer. I thought oh nooo… now I am going to lose another hour of my day. The prayer started with nice songs in Kinyarwanda. After that I was warmly welcomed by all the staff and a passage from the Bible was read out loud. Everyone then could ask God what they wanted for the day. When it was my turn, I said I needed a divine intervention on this business plan. Blessings were coming my way and more prayers. I should have taken the bottle of Holy Water to sprinkle the office. I told the bookkeeper that I had sprinkled my laptop with Holy water so whatever business plan I was going to write, it would be divine. They prayed for their manager, who had traveled to Kigali this morning for a training with Amir. They prayed for each other. I wonder if Ankelien and Pieter would pray for me as their manager in the morning and then I would bless them. Food for thought for a new morning routine. Hehe…. They also prayed for the European refugee crisis. They prayed for Europe. This was strange. I wonder they said that because I was there. I thought to myself instead of praying for Europe, you need to pray for the refugees. Vous êtes une religieuse Madame. Oui Oui I say fast. Then the questions come are you married, children, divorce oh no; c'est horrible! The entire month has been about me needing to get married and multiply. My mother had also been breaking my head about me living in sin. Unmarried, no that’s not what we do. Obey your husband is the message I keep getting everywhere.  The bookkeeper told me he made a prayer so that I will marry upon my return in Belgium. Seriously, I have a job to do here. With lots of concentration, I start 40 minutes later on the business plan. My mission was to finish the written part before lunch. Pierre, the bookkeeper brought me African tea (ginger tea with milk) with cookies. I brought my own blanket at work as I was afraid to be cold. I had wrapped myself in the blanket and hunched over my laptop. The African tea felt good. I have gotten used to the taste and now I can drink this strange combination all the time. Pierre keeps asking me to pause. I get fed up, Numerien used to ask me that too. Off course I want to pause but you have given me so much work that I can’t pause ! Finally, the literature part of the business plan is completed. Pierre wants to go to lunch with me. I got nauseas when he said that. Yesterday, we had lunch in the Parish slash mall slash supermarket slash rooms slash conference center slash restaurant owned by another pastor. The buffet existed out of two types of potatoes, bananas, manioc, two types of rice and two types of pasta. Carbs, carbs and carbs again. I shoved 1 type of pasta, 1 type of rice and 1 type of potato down my throat. Oh and I get a boiled egg on top. The food was beyond bland and I decided to drip chilli oil over it to hide the taste. No, no Francine wasn’t going back to the pastor super center slash everything. I told Pierre, I needed to return to the hotel to get my medicine. He said no problem I will wait for you in the restaurant. Aghhh, he didn’t get the point. Ok let me try this again. I am too sick to eat so I can’t join for lunch. Finally, he got the point. I went to the hotel for lunch, hehe. However, it was rather disappointing I found again potatoes, spaghetti and rice but they had bouillon soup. Three plates of bouillon soup for lunch then. I head back to the office to kill this plan. Pierre hadn’t made it back. Gitarama isn’t really a happening town. Very boring. I could never stay here more than 3 days. If there is ever a 2 week mission in Gitarama, I will have to politely decline. After some time, Pierre walks in and sees me number crunching. We are now on the financial part of the plan. He gave me a little help but I expected much more. Jean de adieu and I had worked so hard together on the financial plan of the Union. This time I was on my own. I had to create context from numbers and papers but with divine intervention everything would turn out alright. Pierre told me if you believe, everything is possible. So let’s see about this. It’s getting very dark outside and I am still number crunching. The Microfinance agency is full of people. Everyone comes late in the night. On one of the doors in the office, I notice a sign VIP. VIP in a Microfinance office ? Really? The smallest loan is 10000 Rwandan Francs about 12 Euro. So I am guessing VIP customers are 50 euro?! Not sure. The Microfinance agency runs different than microStart. They want profits; I don’t like that. I don’t agree with making profits on the poor. Interest rates are accordingly in the country and in CPF Ineza they vary between 18 and 24 % annually. What’s good about this cooperative is that they also provide microsavings as of 500 Rwandan Francs, 7.5 euro. Their products are according to sector. This is a tip, I am taking home to microStart and the interest rates are negotiable. Finally, the plan is finished. I have arrived. My neck is broken and I haven’t drank a sip of water. That is how focused I was. Upstairs from the office, there is a Church. The entire building was shaking but that didn’t bother me at all. I was on a mission. I gave Pierre, the flash drive and he began to print it out. I said I am leaving immediately. He got sad. I first had to sit down in the living room. Ohhhh nooo… I just want to get a hot shower. He started by telling me how fantastic, smart, great…. Etc I was. I was very thankful and flattered but my mission was to leave asap. We took a selfie and left. I snapped another picture of the calendar that was on the wall. A calendar of the board of directors of the Microfinance agency CPF Ineza. Another one I need to take to microStart. Lol It is too late to drive to Kigali so another night in the Splenid it is. I saw a cooperative of pottery around here so before I leave in the morning, I will pass by there.

I had already swam in it and I had tasted it also. Now I got to enjoy the ride. Some parts remind me of Lake Geneva. This country is wonderful. We stayed in a nice hotels with each our big terrace, Greek style, Mykonos looking type of a hotel. My mom wasn’t interested in the boat ride. The water just like animals, she doesn’t like. According to her you don’t know who can come up from these waters. Considering lake Kivu is a volcanic lake that produces methane gas besides Kivu fish I don’t think there is a lot in there. She asked if I was going on a speedboat but no Francine had booked a local with a dugout boat. She should know my adventurous spirit by now. She stayed back in the hotel to relax. However, she didn’t relax. She prayed the entire time for my safety. I enjoyed the boat ride. I did notice that it does flip over easily and she was right telling me dugouts aren’t the safest thing. Anyway, it didn’t matter, I swim like the best and I am born from the water. My father’s family were all related to the maritime business. I have been swimming in rivers since 5. The dugout boat had nothing on me. We arrived on an island in the lake and explored it for a little while. I can’t believe some of them are for sale. I really want to buy an island. It is my dream. This dream might become reality in Rwanda one day. From the lake we arrived downtown Kibuye and visited the museum of environment. This museum had just been opened. It discusses energy. A lot of images from the Port of Ghent in Belgium describing energy. It is an interesting place and has a botanical garden showing the unique forest plants that heal diseases. I had put my hands in nettles while I was in the forest, the porter ripped open a leaf and put it on my hand. The nettle bumps were gone in less than 10 minutes. Seems as if we still have a lot to learn from these traditional healers. Kibuye has very good of lake Kivu. It seems this lake is everywhere in the country. I can’t believe the beauty of this place. On to the next sight. By the time I leave I will have visited this country from North to South, East to West. I turned on Justin Bieber in the car to set the mood for the next place. Leaving Kibuye, I saw rice fields! I can’t believe the blessings of this country. It grows everything. Even non believers would become believers in Rwanda. This country has a Godly presence. Right when I thought, I saw a waterfall along the way. It only gets better. https://www.francinecarron.com/theinclusionmasala/mom-was-happy-when-i-returned-from-lakekivu monthly 0.5 2015-10-11 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5652277fe4b0991ab315ae73/1692612487005-UA5QN5I32D6KOJX5AKWR/tumblr_nw2w9sLClu1ubz1fbo1_1280.jpg The Inclusion Masala Mom was happy when I returned from #lakekivu #dugout boat.

We have rescheduled our journey and my gorilla trek had been pushed back. Finally, today was the day! Last night we arrived late from the Holy Land to Musanze. Due to the distances, unfortunately we have been driving in the night as well. Our schedules are packed. My mom at age 63 is holding up strong but she doesn’t want to hear about gorillas. She doesn’t like animals and is afraid of it. According to our guide, it’s called the esprit kazane. He wrote his thesis on the fact that people from developing countries lack curiosity as most Westerns have. My mom says she came from the bush, she doesn’t want to return to the animal kingdom. I asked when she lived in the bush? Considering she is from a major city in Nigeria, Port Harcourt. She couldn’t answer this question lol. My mom doesn’t want to believe we come from apes. She fully rejects this theory. So she told me to go visit my mother, father and siblings in the mountains. I couldn’t wait ! Every night before a hike, I can’t sleep. Again I was worried. So without sleep I left for the gorillas at 6:30 AM. I needed to be put with a gorilla mountain family at the bottom of the volcano. I was too tired to hike a long time. I fought for me to be with the best guide named Francois. He started as a porter 30 years ago for Dian Fossey. He knew her very well. He said that Dian loved gorillas more than humans. After seeing gorillas in the mist I agree. Dian had done a lot for the conservation of the mountain gorillas. She got the cows out of the forest. Apparently villagers used to take cows for feeding up into the mountain volcano. I can’t believe cows were up there even though Buffaloes live up there. Strange… Strange… Dian fought a battle against cows and poachers. Today there are 10 gorilla families currently on the Rwanda side. My family was named Umubano. The eldest is the silverback gorilla. Silverback because of the grey hairs on their back. On my way up the volcano, the military men who brought me up to bisoke volcano passed me. The senior military man who had set the pace gave me a big hi5 and smile. He said: Ha Francine !!! and laughed hard. Yes, yes my story of climbing up and down bisoke with the military and without guide had gone viral. I also saw Augustin, my porter from Monday. I asked the boss to make an exception and put Augustin in my group as a porter. I was very happy to see him and he was happy to hold my backpack. The group limit is 8 people. I was in a nice group. Two women were from the Rwandan Development Board, Chantal and Adeline. They were doing a quality control. The others were a family of 4 from Los Angeles whose daughter had been living in Valenciennes, France. For their father’s birthday, they were travelling throughout East Africa. There was one more guy from Canada also travelling through East Africa. The group was friendly and we were being entertained by Francois. Francois is also the guide of Rwandan President Kamage. He speaks English and mixes it with French in a perfect way. He is fantastic to listen too. He is beyond passionate about gorillas. He can eat their food, play and speak the language. Our family wasn’t a far a climb. There he was the first gorilla I ever seen in real live. He was calm, peaceful and enjoying his breakfast of leaves. We were less than 1 meter away. We were taking pictures and he didn’t mind. All of a sudden he got up. I got scared. They are strong. When they walk, it’s like the ground shakes a little. You can hear them above you in the trees but you can’t see them. They can be behind you without knowing. The Trekkers find the gorillas in the morning. As gorillas never stay in 1 place at night. Once you find your family, you start following them. Gorillas go to the market, gorillas go to the bathroom… Gorillas go for lunch. They are always on the move. So we began trekking them. All of a sudden a little baby gorilla child comes running out of the bushes. It wants to play with me but we are not allowed to touch gorillas. The human diseases can carry over to the gorillas. When you cough, you have to cough down in order not to infect the gorillas. When you are trekking gorillas, the porters stay behind. You can only keep your camera. You can’t eat or drink. You have one hour to enjoy your family. I saw children gorillas boys, girls playing. I also saw the baby with the mother. They are so human like. It was the cutest thing. One gorilla was really sad. There was a fight. According to Francois, the gorilla was punished because he wanted to get jiggy with a girl he wasn’t allowed to sleep with it. The eldest silverback gorilla had beaten him and so he was punished. He obeyed like a child sitting in the corner. I felt sad. Gorillas have strong emotions and you can feel it. After a while being in the park you forget that these gorillas are animals. I felt I was around humans and I was definitely not scared anymore. They touched my leg and I sat really close to take selfies :) After visiting the gorillas, I was very happy. My god! Nature is fantastic. I went to buy some souvenirs in the gift shop and didn’t even haggle on the price. I was too happy. I had forgotten my selfiestick and gloves with the porter. Off course Rwandan hospitality, the porter ran miles after the car to bring it back ! Augustin, my hero. Now I am in Mountain Gorilla lodge. Another amazing lodge hotel with the same group of American tourists that I saw fighting in Nyungwe lodge. Luckily I wasn’t in their family group. The lodge is huge and the place is amazing. While sitting in my living room, I spotted a wild animal. I don’t know what it is and no one can help me. It looked like a tiger/lion/dog or cat. It was beautiful. My mom had stayed in the hotel in Musanze and was now on her way to Mountain Gorilla Lodge. She was supposed to relax but she did not. Instead she was praying and studying the word of God because she was scared the wild Buffaloes would catch me and eat me in the forest. She had never been this happy to see my jolly self in the hotel. According to her, animals should be subdued by humans. In case you haven’t noticed, my mom is religious. I am trying to make her relax by taking a picture with a fake gorilla but she was scared of that too. When she got to her own private lodge, she refused to take it. She will sleep with me tonight. Her fears for wild animals is too big. We enjoyed an African traditional dance at the hotel and we danced along. This journey is beyond amazing and crazy. One small note to the Rwandan Development Board who is doing a great job. However, they had requested the group at lowest level of the mountain. They should have chosen the most difficult to reach group and should have requested the worst guide. Now they had a fantastic experience with the most experienced guide. While doing a quality control one should look for the worst guide in order to improve. Also quality controls should not be announced and people shouldn’t know that RDB is checking. When people are warned, they are at their best behaviour. While my bisoke guide wasn’t good and other people have had drunk guides. Also more should be done for the locals because everyday foreigners are passing in expensive jeeps through the village at the bottom of the volcano. This village is surrounded by expensive hotels and the villagers are dirt poor. The children are dirty and many of them without shoes. They beg and run away. I know efforts are ongoing but more could be done. A school for guides should be set up in this area. These kids need a future. The future is their volcanic mountain filled with wild animals that the entire world should see. Another fact that surprised me is that the tourist in my group were all in Rwanda for 2 or 3 days just to do gorilla trekking. They didn’t know about genocide and weren’t going to visit any memorials. I knew Rwanda had a genocide, I never knew they had gorillas till I planned this week holiday. Tourists should not only visit gorillas and leave, they should also learn about genocide. Maybe a small memorial museum should be opened near gorillas as well. I don’t like ignorance. Rwanda is so much more than only gorillas. However, it’s a lifetime experience. https://www.francinecarron.com/theinclusionmasala/a-lifetime-experience-gorillatrekking monthly 0.5 2015-10-10 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5652277fe4b0991ab315ae73/1692612498290-S968XOTLJUL132TKNMND/tumblr_nw0kbxIoXv1ubz1fbo1_1280.jpg The Inclusion Masala A lifetime experience #gorillatrekking #mountaingorillas #rwanda A beautiful experience (at Volcanoes National Park) https://www.francinecarron.com/theinclusionmasala/the-t-shirt-i-picked-up-for-my-son-after-the monthly 0.5 2015-10-10 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5652277fe4b0991ab315ae73/1692612498928-6LCHDBZO21O7337D9HQG/tumblr_nw0k69IXfQ1ubz1fbo1_1280.jpg The Inclusion Masala The t-shirt I picked up for my son after the #gorillatrek #mountaingorillas #rwanda (at Mountain Gorilla View Lodge) https://www.francinecarron.com/theinclusionmasala/francois-my-park-guide-he-is-the-best-he-was monthly 0.5 2015-10-10 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5652277fe4b0991ab315ae73/1692612499803-2KTDTE3XWDAJN1SGRI70/tumblr_nw0jjgvBJo1ubz1fbo1_1280.jpg The Inclusion Masala Francois my park guide, he is the best !

We were late and I was worried. I didn’t travel hours to not see it. Speeding through these dangerous hills, we arrived 5 minutes late.  Luckily, there were only 2 people visiting today with me. One girl had a long dress on and flats. I was surprised travelling through the forest with a prom dress and flats. Nice one! Both tourists were returning Rwandans from Angola and exploring the country. The park guide explained us the uniqueness of the rainforest flowers and the healing power of many plants. Nyungwe forest is a name given after colonial period, meaning Leopards forest. However, none have been spotted for years. Drivers in the night claim they have seen them but are most likely confusing them for big cats. Park guides haven’t seen leopards. The park used to have elephants and these have been poached since the colonial area. The Belgian colonial rule had announced this as a protected area but allowed poachers in. Nyungwe forest has many specific types of primates. Owl monkeys, blue monkeys and other types I have never heard of. I saw a blue monkey myself :) Beautiful!! I found primate food in the park that I recognised from the Lion King Disney film and took many pictures. I want to try eating it myself. According to my mom, this type of food is eaten in Nigeria by humans. The park guide doesn’t allow me to eat it - I might get sick. I am curious though. The trails in Nyungwe are easy to walk, almost like stairs. Nothing compared to the volcanic mountains I climbed. Arriving at the canopy walk, I get scared. OMG, I am afraid of heights and this bridge is just floating in the sky. All of a sudden my bladder fills itself from fear. Why did I want to do this so badly ? What was I thinking ? The other tourists started crossing the canopy while I watch with shaking legs. I began to cross the canopy slowly screaming… I had crossed the first bridge and the second +100 meter was now in front of me. The park guide named Jules Cesar crossed walking backwards leading the first girl. It seemed she was doing fine but I got a panick attack. I didn’t look down but the feeling of being in the sky made me feel vulnerable. Thoughts of the canopy falling went through my head. The canopy can hold 8 people at a time and technically 4 ton. Yet in movies the canopy always falls! Thoughts of me falling in the valley were going through my head. I began to hyperventilate, I couldn’t control my breathing. Tears started flowing from my eyes. The park guide rushed towards me and began talking to me. Asking me questions to keep my mind off. I put my fate in his hands.  I just wanted to get off the canopy! With the help of Jules Cesar, I arrived at the end. I was happy but I probably will never cross again. I wonder if my fear of heights is gone ? While walking back towards the entrance of the park, we rain into Laurent Willenegger, a Swiss birdwatcher slash painter. I looked into it where his binocular was pointing but didn’t see anything. The painting he made was of the birds sitting in their tree nest. A bird named something… Bla bla bla bird because it bla’s a lot. Funny! The works of the Swiss painter can be found on www.wildsideproductions.ch Arriving back at the park entrance, I find park guides taking pictures with my mom. What was going on now? The park guides had come to my mom with their problems and she made them all pray with her. She had a message, one from God. Oh no, she is not going to turn this journey in a pilgrimage is she ? Seems like we will be travelling to the Holy Land of Kibeho. https://www.francinecarron.com/theinclusionmasala/a-dip-in-the-pool-at-nyungweforestlodge-after-a monthly 0.5 2015-10-09 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5652277fe4b0991ab315ae73/1692612502507-4PU0TK957C21ROOTSYD9/tumblr_nvz62siu8c1ubz1fbo1_1280.jpg The Inclusion Masala A dip in the pool at #nyungweforestlodge after a hike through #nyungweforest #infinitypool at the #forest #whatthemediadoesntshowyouofafrica (at Nyungwe Forest) https://www.francinecarron.com/theinclusionmasala/the-skull-of-the-last-elephant-found-in monthly 0.5 2015-10-09 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5652277fe4b0991ab315ae73/1692612502818-YTME3FY21TOMAJ0109FU/tumblr_nvz5akMZKm1ubz1fbo1_1280.jpg The Inclusion Masala The #skull of the last #elephant found in #nyungweforest #rwanda (at Nyungwe Forest) https://www.francinecarron.com/theinclusionmasala/there-are-no-more-elephants-in-nyungweforest monthly 0.5 2015-10-09 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5652277fe4b0991ab315ae73/1692612503036-K5F00I4PLGXB89QHY7QY/tumblr_nvz50dJZNv1ubz1fbo1_1280.jpg The Inclusion Masala There are no more #elephants in #nyungweforest this how #poachers trapped them #rwanda (at Nyungwe Forest) https://www.francinecarron.com/theinclusionmasala/we-ran-into-a-painter-birdwatcher-from monthly 0.5 2015-10-09 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5652277fe4b0991ab315ae73/1692612503155-SS1GWV31DCFF3U97PRU4/tumblr_nvz4gatVeY1ubz1fbo1_1280.jpg The Inclusion Masala We ran into a painter / #birdwatcher from #switzerland He painted the …. blablabird because it bla bla a lot.

Anne Marie Katengwa and Joseph are the parents of my college friend Nausicaa and owners of Kigali’s most famous restaurant and hotel. Upon my arrival in Rwanda, I had stayed with them while Nausicaa remained my guide via distance. I was fully prepared. I had planned a week of holiday, after the mission and this now included my mom. Again Anne-Marie and Joseph have shown beyond great hospitality. While I was climbing the Bisoke volcano. They picked her up. Patrick, the receptionist from Chez Lando, called me to let me know that she had landed. He called me to let me know she was in the car and she was safely in the house. There is no words for this kind of hospitality. It is just beyond amazing. I arrived later in the night and couldn’t wait to see mom. Again, it had been 4 years. I ran in the house and started screaming mom, mom. There she was beautiful as always. At age 63, she had aged a little bit since I last saw her but still a strong African woman. I can assure you don’t want to mess with her. Tears in my eyes, we continued to hug. We decided to have dinner across in the Chez Lando restaurant. What a fantastic place with good food! No wonder this is considered the best place in town. It was packed with people and the atmosphere was great. My mom was already impressed with Kigali. She said I have never seen an African place like this. She has confused Luanda with Rwanda. Mom was happy to meet Nausicaa’s parents and very impressed. The Rwandan mentality is completely different from Nigerians. Mom’s first hours in Rwanda are a success.

Last night when I went to lay in my bed, I just started to laugh. Ohhh the bed was soooooo comfortable with fluffy pillows. I forgot that feeling, I couldn’t stop laughing from happiness. Never been that grateful for a bed! I slept 8 hours straight! & without Advil PM. That’s the forte time this happened in Rwanda. With no alarm, I woke up fresh and still quite early and my 9-year old son Skyped me. Finally, I have a strong enough wifi connection that can hold a video Skype call. I put in my headphones and went to have breakfast. My son and I virtually had breakfast together. I was eating at the breakfast table in Rwanda and he was eating at home. He helped me select what I should eat for breakfast. He saw a donut and that one I had to eat for him. He was able to wave at the Chef who was making me an omelette. For a moment it felt that he was here in Rwanda. We video Skyped at the breakfast table for 2 hours. The day feels weird without the tea union. It had been a big part of my life for 2 weeks straight. I also find out that you can’t have chicken in a taxibus and no heavy market goods. Numerien didn’t believe me that it was illegal. Smggghhh…. I miss the Union and all its people already.   I saw that the hotel has a beauty centre and decided to go for pampering.  That day I also  went to the pharmacy to buy amiable pills in town, just in case I get infected since I have been grubbing on food that I shouldn’t eat. I bought a double dosis Nausicaa :) Walking through Gisenyi, I got a couple of good photo snaps from the Nyiaragongo volcano in Congo. So much steam that comes out of there. In the night you can see the red fire in the background of Gisenyi. This place is just beautiful, we walked to some amazing ‘rich’ people neighbourhoods and into the market. The market of Gisenyi is quite big and they are constructing a building to move it into a proper construction. A type of shopping mall, one can say. These markets always upset me. They sell second hand clothing mostly. Second hand clothing that comes from Europe and America. These are the clothes that we put outside our houses for charity. They are being collected all over and sold in bulk by Western businessman to African whole sellers. The clothes are then resold through retail in the markets. It pisses me off! These clothes should be given for free! On top of all of this, these second hand clothes are very expensive. Second hand clothes from America and Europe are considered premium quality while new clothes are considered bad, low quality from China. My argument is that most of these Western clothes are also made in China. Thus, this reasoning makes no sense. No matter what quality, these clothes should be free. They were donated to be given away for free. This phenomena is all over Africa, not only Rwanda. On the positive side, it is sustainable. Gisenyi is small and we are quick back where we left off. I found the mosque that was keeping me up last week. Its actually far from where I stayed. Back at Lake Kivu, I watch the sun set and order yummy food. Lake Kivu is so big that it looks like an ocean. The water is always warm and the methane gas extraction continues to fascinate me. I might go out tonight ;) after watching #rwandaday live President Kagame is just saying that Kinyarwanda learning centres are being set up so that Rwanda’s or adopted Rwandans wanting to return home can prepare. I want to learn the language !

We have arrived at the end of the second week of the mission for Exchangevzw and BNP Paribas Benevolab. It is today that I have to present the conclusions of my findings. A short version of the strategic plan. Yesterday morning I had prepared the presentation before going to Rutsereco. It was showtime ! Last night I had gone to bed way to late as I was talking to a hotel guest about the genocide. He told me how his entire family was killed. (I will dedicate a post to his story.) So when I woke up this morning, I was tired. I rushed to get perfectly dressed, heels and makeup. We were back on Day 1, power dressing was necessary. The board of administration would be present and Jean Pierre, a representative of AMIR (Association of Microfinance Agencies in Rwanda). The meeting was scheduled for 8 o'clock. I ran out the Centre D'Acceuille with my heels on, up the hill trying to catch a taxibus. I was sweating before I got in. I was scared to be late but the matatu God’s are on my side. No one got in on the way and I arrived at 7:15. Numerien wasn’t there yet. Yes! I beat him again. At 7:45 he arrives and tells me: ‘you are a morning person’! This time he meant it! He asked me to prepare for the meeting because it has moved to 9 o'clock. I thought to myself Ohhh nooo! 9:15 Nobody there. Numerien said that the President of the tea Union had given permission that I could start. The manager of the Pfunda tea cooperative joins in, the manager of the microfinance agency joins in as well and we start. Surprisingly I had no stress. The entire plan and its French words were imprinted in my head. The words roll down my tongue. Augustin joins in and Jean Pierre from AMIR arrives. I am on a roll! At the end of the presentation it was suggestion and question time. Jean Pierre gave us really good suggestions in setting up the microfinance for tea farmers branch. The head of Pfunda Cooperative wanted me as a consultant to draft him a strategic plan too. I received farewell gifts and we headed out for drinks. Jean Pierre had a vehicle with driver and without thinking I opt for that vehicle. My time with taxibus had come to an end. We arrive at a motel and order drinks. It’s not even 12 and the Mutzig starts flowing. Mutzig beer with lemon Fanta. That’s a first. I discuss with Jean Pierre intensely BNP Paribas relations and the end of the mission. Jean Pierre left for Kigali while we continued my farewell lunch. Brochettes with French fries. My favorite. Nausicaa had advised me not to eat grilled anymore but I couldn’t resist. This time it was not organs, at least that’s what I think. I say my goodbye’s and inform them that they will receive the final strategic plan in 2 weeks. I will adapt it according to the new suggestions and the information from AMIR. I am included in the strategic plan and will have a lot of following up to do. Hence, I receive the title in their organization as Business Development Consultant for the Tea Farmers Union of Crete Congo Nil. My work here isn’t done. I thank them for the lovely gifts. They apologized they couldn’t find any tea from Pfunda. Green leaves only. It’s hard to find the local tea, everything is for export and Rwandans don’t drink tea. It’s no problem for me, I have learned a lot of new things on this mission and will stay on board. One last time in the taxibus to get my stuff at the Centre and a last meeting with RIM. Reseaux Microfinance. The meeting was short but I arranged for a second one. Finally at the Centre, I pack my bags and can’t believe the amount of stuff. I have given away so much already and yet the number of bags seem to grow. Is it the gifts ? I don’t know. While I was packing my stuff, I notice all of a sudden troops of mini roaches crawling from under the mattress! I thought to myself; this is the final straw, I got to go. I woke up this morning with an entire body full of bites. I have no one to blame but myself. I have an impregnated fitted sheet for mattresses. I had removed it to go to Rutsereco and when I returned to Gisenyi, I was too lazy to put it back. No one else but Francine to blame.  Numerien and I, each with a suitcase in the hand + 2 purses and 2 backpacks walk down to the Serena at the Kivu Lake. The hotel is 5 minutes walking distance from the centre. Numerien was acting strange because his request for a small mortgage was refused for the second time in the Bank of Kigali. He was stressed all of a sudden. I felt bad and tried to give him some advice. We ran into the special representative for sanitation of the district, a native of the tea fields. He advised me to include day cares into strategic plan of the union. Why didn’t I think of it myself. Perfect! More work! Arriving at the Serena Hotel, a resort looking type of hotel, Numerien gets anxious. He doesn’t want to come inside . He said the hotel is too expensive. I said I want to buy him a drink. We give my stuff to the butlers, whom X-ray all the bags. Tight security in this hotel which is actually not needed in Rwanda. We immediately receive hot towels and drinks. I want to go to my roommmmm…. Numerien is nervous. He doesn’t like the setting. I told him someone had hooked me up with the room for free. I didn’t want him to know I was paying these prices because he would have dragged me out. Lol Finally in the room. wow I forgot about tv’s, a bath, ohhhh A/C !!! I never appreciated luxury as much as today! I have normal wifi- no more 45 minutes per upload! We are so spoiled and I am grateful. I need a mission like this every year. I am ordering room service, paying 15 USD for a well deserved glass of wine.

They tried to get me tea but it’s hard to find tea in the local market because 1) no one drinks it. The tea farmers don’t even know what tea looks like or taste like. 2) 99 percent is exported for the world market. So I received local table mats. Numerien went everywhere to have it wrapped so nicely. https://www.francinecarron.com/theinclusionmasala/official-photo-with-augustin-the-president-of-the monthly 0.5 2015-10-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5652277fe4b0991ab315ae73/1692612515783-K32OXGGROTXXIHMT9Z9X/tumblr_nvlri01d2l1ubz1fbo1_1280.jpg The Inclusion Masala Official photo with Augustin, the president of the tea Union.

I will present it to the board of directors, cooperative managers and the direction of Amir. This presentation will be at 8 AM in the Pfunda offices. I am happy it isn’t 6 or 7 AM. This means that tomorrow is my last day with the tea Union before I go on a 1 week holiday in Rwanda. I arranged for my mom to join me on the Rwanda tour. I found a direct flight with Rwandair from Lagos. I haven’t seen her for 4 years so we are both excited. Today, the second last day basically, we head to go to Rubaya. This was another 4 hours in a taxibus. I can’t handle that anymore !  We were at 2400 meters and I had difficulties talking. The altitude was killing me. I explained to Numerien that we live at sea level and the altitude might cause the complications. He didn’t really understand but said hurry up finish your business and we’ll return to Gisenyi. Numerien said he was surprised to see me at the office today. I was on time and was working on my laptop outside. He was half an hour late :) He said he thought I was going to call in sick or tired and would not have mind. I was like what!? I am dead you should have told me you were dead too. We could have both stayed at home! I made it clear to him that this is the reason why I incorporated in the business plan that the union needs their own vehicle. You can’t just be sitting in overpopulated, overheated taxibus’ and expect people to work without a problem. Numerien agreed also, he got out a town before me and told me to stay awake or else I’d miss my stop. I am going to prepare for tomorrow and wish me all the best of luck! https://www.francinecarron.com/theinclusionmasala/2-day-trip-rutsiro-day-2 monthly 0.5 2015-10-01 https://www.francinecarron.com/theinclusionmasala/2-day-trip-to-rutsiro-day-1 monthly 0.5 2015-10-01 https://www.francinecarron.com/theinclusionmasala/look-who-is-riding-along-with-me-from-rutsiro-to monthly 0.5 2015-10-01 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5652277fe4b0991ab315ae73/1692612518202-CIJL43YFB0B0URM9128M/tumblr_nvjmylXSB51ubz1fbo1_1280.jpg The Inclusion Masala Look who is riding along with me from #Rutsiro to #Gisenyi with the taxibus ? 7 hour journey back.

I forgot to call Numerien last night to ask him what time we would start today. I woke up before 8 and decided to call him at 8 on the dot. The phone rings no one picks up. Aha, I have the opportunity to eat breakfast ! I order myself a cheese omelette with ham and a glass of warm fresh milk. I don’t like that powered milk that they love to serve in Africa. While eating my breakfast, Numerien calls. I asked him if I could come alone to the office. He finally agreed that I no longer need a chaperone. I finish breakfast and head out. It feels hot today. Puffing I climb on the mountain and get in a taxibus. My body is aching from the excessive exercise this weekend. The tube of flexigel that I had brought with me will definitely come in handy. The taxibus was pretty empty today. Numerien keeps calling wanting to know where I am. My taxibus was slow and the driver waited everywhere. Doesn’t Numerien know that anything can happen while on the taxibus? He send the bookkeeper to wait for me at the end stop. I walked in the office and Numerien wanted to know everything about my weekend. My iPhone is his iPhone. He scrolled down the pictures. He couldn’t believe my adventure. He really wants to visit the gorillas but can’t afford the entrance fee. $50 dollars I think for locals and 750$ for international tourists entry fee. It’s sad but most locals can’t afford to visit the exciting places. I told him this weekend everything was free and he should go.  After discussing our weekends, we go to the meeting with FXB Gisenyi which I am dying to have a partnership with. We met with Berthilde, the manager. She is a beautiful and tall Rwandan woman (as you can see in the picture). She had light brown eyes and naturally long hair. Berthilde looked very intelligent. I knew this was going to be an interesting meeting. Berthilde explains what FXB does exactly in Gisenyi. I help Numerien explain our cause. Numerien is the type of person that you would like to kick underneath the table during a meeting. Occasionally he discussed the problems of the tea Union putting a foot in his mouth. The problems of the union is something I am solving at the moment. Berthilde was clever enough to not mind his comments and look at the win win situation. FXB has a lot of young unemployed people and we need people in the tea sector. After discussing a possible partnership, it is clear a tea program can be created with FXB. Berthilde had the same thoughts and remarks as I. Women in management position is always best. Berthilde and Numerien informed her colleague in Kinyarwanda. This is when I got sleepy and didn’t understand a word but the information needed to be translated for everyone to understand. The next steps are discussed and a trial program FXB * UCTCCN will soon be launched. Step 1 of the strategic plan is ongoing. If Numerien follows my plan, he will have a powerful union by 2020. Across the street of FXB office, I saw a woman cooperative that made local arts and crafts. I had to go inside.  The store was fantastic. Lovely African dolls for little girls, headbands, bags and clothing. I saw some cute little shorts and tried them on. They were my size! I didn’t want to haggle on the price because this a cooperative supporting women but Numerien did it anyway. I got a reduction of 1000 Rwandan Francs on 2 shorts and a wrap skirt. I took pictures as usual because I loved the place. They had a crocodile that I wanted to buy for my son but that was 30,000 Rwandan Francs. Numerien said he knows a place where I might find it cheaper. I doubt that so I might go back and get it. I will definitely buy him three mini paniers for his room. At 11:00, we were back in the office and I asked Jean de dieu to work on the financial projections 2016-2020 with me. We worked the entire day. When the bell went for the pause, I told Numerien we would continue working. He didn’t like that idea and went out to break. When he came back he brought us grilled peanuts and coca cola. If I didn’t want to eat and pause; the food would come to me. I was grateful though! The peanuts gave me lot of energy. The bookkeeper and I kept on number crunching. Numerien insisted on an afternoon break. I said no. I have a lot of work to do and have no time to break. The financials are important and in Rwanda because of the valuta, you are easily calculating in the billions. At 17:00 o'clock, Numerien was stressed out of his face. I had worked enough, the rain was coming. He couldn’t handle it anymore. I asked him for 10 minutes. My time that’s 30 min. After 10 minutes he said ok enough, this it. You don’t have an umbrella and it’s going to rain. I pulled out my rain poncho, put it on and told him I was fine. He couldn’t believe his eyes. He said you are like a Rwandan and was granted 10 more minutes. Just enough to finish the finances of the financial plan :) He put me on the taxibus and I got home before the rain. I know in Rwanda there is a long gap between the sky darkening and it actually pouring down raining. I am going to sleep early today as tomorrow Numerien and I are going on a two day trip to visit another tea cooperative. https://www.francinecarron.com/theinclusionmasala/rwanda-rwandalicious-eastafrica-goodmorning monthly 0.5 2015-09-28 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5652277fe4b0991ab315ae73/1692612522278-CQ6388HO8B6VAVNNMFK2/tumblr_nvdit3kijt1ubz1fbo1_500.jpg The Inclusion Masala #Rwanda #rwandalicious #EastAfrica #Goodmorning - Anyone can feel at home here ! https://www.francinecarron.com/theinclusionmasala/sunday-the-day-of-rest monthly 0.5 2015-09-27 https://www.francinecarron.com/theinclusionmasala/ended-another-amazing-day-in-rwanda-at-the-congo monthly 0.5 2015-09-27 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5652277fe4b0991ab315ae73/1692612522464-ZE3O90TFKXVF0CCIYODB/tumblr_nvcnn14vnm1ubz1fbo1_1280.jpg The Inclusion Masala Ended another amazing day in #Rwanda at the #Congo border #Goma #Gisenyi https://www.francinecarron.com/theinclusionmasala/i-will-never-get-tired-of-the-view-rwanda monthly 0.5 2015-09-27 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5652277fe4b0991ab315ae73/1692612522869-8WZW4WFFG69RA7YBLKDA/tumblr_nvcjzxpzhS1ubz1fbo1_1280.jpg The Inclusion Masala I will never get tired of the view. #Rwanda #rwandalicious https://www.francinecarron.com/theinclusionmasala/i-can-not-get-enough-of-the-landofthousandhills monthly 0.5 2015-09-27 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5652277fe4b0991ab315ae73/1692612522859-L4USU2MLCHTRCJKI6OFN/tumblr_nvcjvi725R1ubz1fbo1_1280.jpg The Inclusion Masala I can not get enough of the #landofthousandhills #millecollines #Rwanda #gopro on ready for the hike https://www.francinecarron.com/theinclusionmasala/this-could-be-a-picture-taken-in-europe-cows monthly 0.5 2015-09-27 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5652277fe4b0991ab315ae73/1692612523058-U226S7PGQLR10XUI726D/tumblr_nvcjozJErh1ubz1fbo1_1280.jpg The Inclusion Masala This could be a picture taken in Europe, cows grazing. #Rwanda #Muhungwe highest non #volcanic #mountain https://www.francinecarron.com/theinclusionmasala/one-of-the-local-rwandalicious-mountain-guides monthly 0.5 2015-09-27 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5652277fe4b0991ab315ae73/1692612523298-40E3PAZBLUYOWU8433W9/tumblr_nvcji5FwsP1ubz1fbo1_1280.jpg The Inclusion Masala One of the local #rwandalicious #mountain guides!

The mosque was singing all nights and the day starts before 6AM here. I can’t manage to sleep more than 4 hours naturally. I read somewhere that a sleeping pattern of 6 to 8 hours is not natural. Back in the days people slept naturally in intervals throughout day and night. That rhythm would be something for me because having to lay in a bed more than 6 hours is generally torture for me. I dreamt about Queen Mathilda (maybe because she is visiting microStart for European microfinance day?) and I wondered what Cookie was doing in the first episode of the new Empire season. Is Lucious still in jail? Someone answer please. So I have been up for quite a while this morning thinking about how I can elaborate the strategic plan. I didn’t eat breakfast and didn’t drink anything. Not in the mood. I will munch on my new favourite fruit again! Today I am going to visit a tea microfinance and savings institution. I am eager to learn what their methodologies are and compare them to our work at microStart. Every day I decide carefully what to wear in order to not offend anyone. Yesterday I wore a long skirt and that was the perfect outfit for galavanting in the tea plantation. Before coming to Rwanda I read that locals in the countryside always wear long skirts and females wearing pants is for foreigners. It’s pretty much true I haven’t seen any local women with pants  in the hinterland. So I bought a lot of long skirts in Belgium and brought them here. People seem to appreciate it when women wear skirts. Dragging a heavily packed Longchamp purse and wearing Steve Maddden flats was a mistake though. Climbing over those rigs with that purse was a nightmare. Back to the backpack! The Steven Maddden flats killed my toes and were tossed to the thrash can when I got home. It caused blisters and burns. In the fields I saw a man with a toe wound and decided to help him. I finally got to use the medical kit that I have been carrying with me every day! Numerien thought I was being generous but hey I wish people stopped me in the streets in Belgium to help me if I had an injury. My philosophy be kind to strangers!

I had to drag myself to work today. I was jealous of the Muslims having a day off. So I hopped sleepy in the matatu (I now know the name for the taxi bus). All of a sudden while driving in the hills someone opened the door and jumped out! Well that woke me up for sure! It was a movie scene, that guy deserves a spot in mission impossible quite impressive. Apparently today the price was 100 Rwandan Francs (100 francs/750 = price in USD) more because it is a holiday and he didn’t agree. Bump that ! he must have thought and jumped. A second person tried to jump as well but everyone held him back. Haha he had to pay full price. I bet if he had jump it would have been disastrous. Arriving at work I was my jolly self again and ready to do this ! I immediately continued on the strategic plan, I have a clear idea of the problems the tea Union is facing. Numerien had nicely drafted a list of their problems. The President of the Union, Augustin also came to explain the consequences of their problems. We compared it to my analyses of the past few days and I seem to be spot on. My brain has been in over drive and I have come up with a lot of possible solutions, programs that need to be worked out. The problem of the tea Union is not only their problem is a community problem. Therefore Numerien needs to take a lead, I will draft him a challenging strategy that needs to be followed step by step. If he can implement the strategic plan, Numerien can create a strong union, a national union and have a leverage power at government level to help the cooperative members. I feel as if I am starting up microStart Antwerp from the beginning again. I had drafted a plan, strategy to be followed in order to become a successful microfinance agency. For 2015 I have to do the same but first Numerien’s plan. I will provide him with a project schedule that he has to follow and I am taking this cause to my heart. I will follow up the progress of the Union when back in Belgium. The Union has become my baby and I will raise it. After a few hours of typing, it was time to go back in the fields. Don’t forget we started work at 7:30. At 10:39 we are trying to get to the hinterland. https://www.francinecarron.com/theinclusionmasala/muslim-holiday-nationally-today-was-a-muslim monthly 0.5 2015-09-24 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5652277fe4b0991ab315ae73/1692612532981-WN8RPJ0GROC5MJKIV0P6/tumblr_nv6zb8pWXO1ubz1fbo1_1280.jpg The Inclusion Masala Muslim Holiday (nationally) Today was a Muslim holiday and national holiday. I thought I would get the day off. Boy was I wrong, Numerien had us all early at work. I got a big job the do. Well I can’t complain for having to work today as I learned so many new things. This morning Gisenyi looked as if it was a Muslim town only. Hundreds of Muslims were on their way to the mosque at 7:30 in the morning. I didn’t know there were so many Muslims in Rwanda. I need to check the religious statistics urgently because Numerien is Catholic and Jean de Dieu the bookkeeper Protestant and now I see many Muslims. I wasn’t aware of this. I thought this was a predominately Catholic country. I might be wrong. I should have known this as I hear the mosque prayers every day at 4 AM. Jean de Dieu told me that Muslims here are very rich. I asked him why he thinks that ? He said because they own all the for exchange agencies. Aha… I guess dealing with money makes your rich.

How come these toilets don’t smell and are so clean ? I was afraid to go to the bathroom in the country side but when I got to go; I gots-to-go. To my big surprise this toilet was odorless and beyond clean! In general Rwanda is a very clean country. Every Saturday, it is national clean up day. The villages is in the country are clean as well. Rwandans don’t litter and the rule to prohibit plastic bags definitely pays off. Rwandans don’t like mess and are extremely polite. They don’t like people acting a fool according to Numerien. While we were in the taxi bus and the driver decided to speed in mountains, the passengers began shouting that they will call the police. The driver immediately slowed down. The police here isn’t corrupt and correct so people fear it. On the way to the tea factory we got stopped by a police road block. They searched the van for contraband. I thought that was great! There is no need for a country to be flooded with illegal products and the population tends to agree! I have nothing but good things to say about the people and the way this country is governed ! https://www.francinecarron.com/theinclusionmasala/this-is-the-fruit-i-keep-on-eating-and-dont-know monthly 0.5 2015-09-23 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5652277fe4b0991ab315ae73/1692612536024-Z31BIYKZGJXWQBSYF25N/tumblr_nv45ibgipL1ubz1fbo1_1280.jpg The Inclusion Masala This is the fruit I keep on eating and don’t know the name of it ?

Lando </p> <p>When I walked out the airport both the organisation that I am going to be working for UTCCN (Union theicoles de la Crete Congo Nil) and the driver of Chez Lando (my friend Nausicaa’s mom is the owner) were awaiting me. </p> <p>Numerien Nsengumuremyi (UTCCN) & Cyrille Mwumvaneza (local representative of Exchangevzw) brought me as I had previously requested to Anne Marie and Joseph (my friend’s parents) and owners of Chez Lando Hotel in Kigali. Anne Marie Katengwa is such an impressive woman. She is tall, beautiful, kind, classy and a real business woman. I was so happy to see her and she immediately made me feel home. Joseph (my friend’s father and Anne Marie’s husband) is unbelievably friendly, welcoming and heartwarming. </p> <p>Both Anne Marie and Joseph are very highly educated Rwandans. Joseph even speaks Dutch ! That really caught me off guard. He said he hadn’t spoken it in a long time but yet he was fluent! <br> Joseph had lived, travelled and done business all over Europe. He knew every detail about Belgium and studied in Swiss. (@ Nausicaa if you are reading this: your parents are fantastic!) </p> <p>Anne Marie made sure I was at easy showed me the guest room as you can see from the picture above is beautiful. A large beautifully decorated room with view on an amazing garden. I took a picture (see above) of a peacock looking animal but I wasn’t sure what it was… anyone ?? In any case it makes a lot of noise. It sounds like the battery of a dying phone ;) </p> <p>The family, Numerien, Cyrille and I were served delicious food. We all talked for a few hours. (I found out that Cyrille speaks German and studied in Canada.) Another polyglot in the room! Numerien and Cyrille were very happy to have met the owners of Chez Lando through me. I am sure Cyrille will stay in touch with them. I had brought everyone gifts: Godiva chocolates for Numerien and Cyrille, a poncho for Anne Marie and two wines for Joseph (a true wine connoisseur). </p> <p>During our conversation Anne- Marie informed me about her hotel across the street (Chez Lando) of which I had a glimpse. I found out that Chez Lando is so much more than a hotel and everyone should know. </p> <p>Now why should anyone stay in Chez Lando when travelling to Kigali or Rwanda ? Let me give you 4 good reasons: </p> <p>1. It’s a family run hotel in Rwanda by Rwandans. <br> 2.The atmosphere is very welcoming and the owner (Anne Marie) immediately brings everyone at ease. <br> 3. The hotel’s food is amazing and the place is unbelievable clean. <br> 4. Anne Marie supports entire communities trough this hotel. How ? <br> All products used in the restaurant are locally and ecologically produced on their own 3 ha farmland. They have an entire team of people working on this field. Besides growing their own crops they also buy other locally and ecologically grown crops from female cooperatives!! Yes Anne Marie supports many women cooperatives. The products sold in the boutique are also from local farmers with fair trade labels. <br> The 84 bedroom hotel and executive apartment owner employs many people and also provides traineeships. Every year they take multiple interns from the hotel management schools and identify future potential. Many of these students are offered a job upon graduation at Chez Lando. The work atmosphere is fantastic as everyone aims at pleasing the customer while maintaining a familial feeling. </p> <p>I am sure there is so much more to Chez Lando but these are already good reasons to spend your next stay at this resident hotel in Kigali. </p> <p>Hope to see you there! Here is the link to the hotel and support Rwanda entrepreneurship ! </p> https://www.francinecarron.com/theinclusionmasala/arrival-in-rwanda-part-1-the-flight-after-a monthly 0.5 2015-09-20 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5652277fe4b0991ab315ae73/1692612554512-B7LS8AATRZ7SER950IGW/tumblr_nuzm7hM1KF1ubz1fbo1_1280.jpg The Inclusion Masala Arrival in Rwanda - part 1: The flight After a flight of 8 hours I finally arrive in Kigali. The flight went great I sat next to a very interesting woman named Karina Weinstein, program director of FXB USA of FXB International with headquarters in Geneva and New York. FXB International helps the networks of the world’s poorest people (the bottom tiers). FXB works through a model of FXB villages providing basic needs of life such as housing, healthcare, food and education. It also provides training to create a business over time in order to become self sufficient within three years. FXB’ funding is coming from various donors such as USAID. I find it extremely interesting project as reaching out and helping the bottom tier in any society is an extremely difficult task. For more information on FXB International. Click here: https://fxb.org Besides talking about her work and my work and our missions in Rwanda (I explained her Exchangevzw, BNP Paribas & microStart); we had a great time talking about our sons and personal views of the world. Our opinions were very similar; definitely staying in touch with NYC based Karina! What was interesting on the flight was that it was packed with NGO workers. It’s clear that Rwanda is a great place for NGO workers as it a safe place which can guarantee safety to employees. Rwanda seems to be very open to foreign help and is very keen on continuous advancement. Many people on the flight were wearing t-shirts with the name of their NGO. So I noticed a lot of doctors on board for doctors without vacation. A lot of people from Water for Life (for Jesus) and other missionaries. We landed around 19:00 and my dad had arranged for the station manager from SN Brussels to meet me at the plane. I was happy disembark the plane and immediately talk to someone I know. Especially if you are travelling to a place you have never been, it puts you at ease. I have her Rwandese number so any issue I can always call her and explain my issue in Dutch. Not that I jam expecting issues, after years of travelling in Africa I am so ready for this. Though it is the first time that I travel to the Mama Africa without having a family member waiting for me. After a long line at immigration which is the most professional immigration line I have seen in Africa so far. Fingerprinting, questioning, pictures, etc… Well done Mr. Kagame ! I am liking this country already.

Leaving for Rwanda. This morning I received a message from my Rwandese friend Nausicaa not to bring any plastic bags as it is against the environmental policy in Rwanda. Apparently all plastic bags are removed out of the luggage at the airport. I don’t like people going through my stuff so I ran out of my bed, reopened my suitcases and removed all the plastic bags. Just in time for the taxi. Arriving on the Brussels ring there was a huge traffic jam and this on a SATURDAY! I got scared as this week, the airport exit was closed and people had to walk miles to the airport. I have 3 bags and a heavy purse; my heart started racing and the clock was ticking. I made it to the airport 1 hour before boarding and the Africa T terminal is at least half an hour walk. Finally at the Brussels Airlines desk I thought the stress would be over. I was wrong ! My hand luggage was overweight! My purse on its own weighted 16 kg; I must give it to Louis Vuitton those bags can carry a lot of weight. I had to re-divide my hand luggage amongst my suitcases. I am not only carrying a lot of clothes but a lot of paperwork and folders for the mission and folders to represent Exchangevzw at the Rwandan Board of Development. After re packing (you can already imagine how that looked) I got my tags and finally ready to go. Nausicaa had told me to get amibae pills at the pharmacy so I decided to spurt back. Fingers crossed I make it on time for boarding. Naturalich, a long line at the pharmacy just for her to tell me I need prescription! I could have guessed… This is Belgium. Well I had a nice work out and I am sitting in my seat. Hopefully my friend Anya from SNBrussels is working as cabin crew on my flight today… ;) ✈️ https://www.francinecarron.com/theinclusionmasala/the-evidence-suggests-that-the-truth-lies-in-the monthly 0.5 2015-09-18 https://www.francinecarron.com/theinclusionmasala/rwandabound monthly 0.5 2015-09-18 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5652277fe4b0991ab315ae73/1692612556246-VGAASEJ7PQOFR4KM58ZW/tumblr_ntvatgV02c1ubz1fbo1_500.gif The Inclusion Masala Rwandabound!  I have so many vaccinations from travelling all over the world and the most important vaccine to enter Rwanda with has expired. A quick stop at the Antwerp Tropical Institute (http://www.itg.be ) will do. I hate needles…pff… What else is on the list ? Guy Callebout, the coordinator for Rwanda Exchangevzw told me to pack a flashlight, umbrella, a rain coat and copy my passports. I ordered an impregnated pop up mosquito net as my hotel has no AC and I can’t live without AC. I ordered a mosquito net for my hat that I can use during the gorilla hike, I bought more mosquito sprays, a first aid kit with emergency blanket, Gopro Hero camera, power bank, trekking boots, backpack, poncho, sleeping bag, towels and A SELFIESTICK!  I am also packing a ton of granola bars for the long working hours! My suitcases are jam packed I am ready to experience the best or the worst as I have tons of medication with me.  I am totally ready to leave but afraid at the same time. Afraid that I will love Rwanda so much that it will be hard for me to return from the mission.   On this note night night.  https://www.francinecarron.com/theinclusionmasala/fi2020-week-to-convene-global-conversations-on monthly 0.5 2015-09-17 https://www.francinecarron.com/theinclusionmasala/holidayinrwanda monthly 0.5 2015-09-17 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5652277fe4b0991ab315ae73/1692612557110-ZW0UG9OOP691HG0LOOYW/tumblr_ntvacteeEu1ubz1fbo1_1280.jpg The Inclusion Masala The Land of a thousand hills ! The preparatory work with Benevolab and Exchangevzw is done. My research is completed as well. I am ready to pack actually.  I realised that going on a mission will result into 18 hours of a work a day. (I remember how it was like setting up the microStart branch in Antwerp.) So I am pretty sure UCTCCN are going to want me working at 110% which I am more than happy to do. I want them to receive the best support ever. Hence I planned a vacation in a Rwanda after completing the mission.  While working there I am planning on taking a break to see the following:  1. Volcano/ gorilla hike visit Musanze caves  2. Go to Kibuye, relax do a boat ride and visit God’s bed  3. Complete the entire Nile - Congo trail by bike  4. Go to Akagera Safari Park  5. Visit Nyungwe, walk across the canopy and stop at the last Royal House.  Considering Rwanda is about the size of Belgium I looked at the map and figured that with a good SUV this should all be possible in 5 days. Although Rwanda has an extensive road network, I didn’t realise that Rwanda’s rural areas road network hasn’t been completed. Therefore road travel can be slow and complicated.  I had been given the price of 3600 USD that included 3 hotel nights in mid-luxury range hotels/lodging, private driver/car hire 4X4 SUV for 5 days, private guide, food, safari permit, gorilla permits, etc. I was surprised by this price. I knew that the price for a gorilla permit was 750 UD and had a budget of 2000 euro in mind. We are talking almost double now. I thought I was getting conned and decided to contact all the tour operators listed in the Rwandan Tours and Travel Association. http://www.rttarwanda.org/content/our-members I asked them to give me a quotation of the three different itineraries. I received many responses in a very short time. The prices were all between 3000 USD and 7000 USD. Some agencies had slightly adapted the itineraries and had given other hotel options. One tour operator even send me an excel sheet with everything detailed out.   I decided to drop Akagame Park as I am planning to conduct a safari in Tanzania next year. I also dropped the bike Nile Congo river ride as I bike as slow as a snail. I am not in the best shape of my life considering I used to run collegiate track. My friends have seen me bike and wonder each time how come I don’t fall off as my speed is almost at standstill. Many tourists in good shape havent been able to complete the bike ride. Cancelling those 2 activities brings the price down to 3250 USD. I am going to have to dig in my savings but I am convinced it will be worth every penny!  Now I need to start packing!  2 weeks in Gisenyi in the tea plantations, 1 week hiking and a few days visiting Kigali staying with my friend’s mom (Mrs. Anne-Marie Katengwa) who is the owner of Chez Lando in Kigali. As a female entrepreneur in Rwanda, she has a lot of important contacts and arranged for me a meeting to represent Exchangevzw at the Rwandan Board of Development (http://www.rdb.rw)  What do I need to take for a business/holiday trip? I might have to do some online shopping!   https://www.francinecarron.com/theinclusionmasala/today-in-the-news-het-laatste-nieuws-microstart monthly 0.5 2015-09-15 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5652277fe4b0991ab315ae73/1692612556653-M3RUQM8L4CT91IDUFMI4/tumblr_nuq96ial5l1ubz1fbo1_1280.jpg The Inclusion Masala Today in the news “Het Laatste Nieuws” microStart Antwerp (my office) opens its doors for refugees.

The organisation is very welcoming and just wanted to explain their way of working. BenevoLab by BNP Paribas Fortis will coach me before the mission and take care of the airfare while Exchangevzw arranges the VISA, vaccinations, per diems and ‘Union des cooperatives Théicoles de la Crete Congo Nil’ takes care of the accommodation. Everything is clear and well organised. Now it is my turn getting in touch with ‘UCTCCN’ and understand the mission completely.  No matter how it goes I have already fallen in love with Rwanda. Below are my 9 reasons why I have already fallen in love with Rwanda.  1. Bisoko Volcano and Gorilla hike in  Musanze has me dreaming away… Apparently there are also non-touristic caves to visit.  2. Gisenyi/ Kibuye/ the Congo Nile trail looks lovely for a good bike and boat ride.  3. Kigali, a modern city with so much history. Nice bars, clubs, views of the land of the thousand hills. The fashion looks beyond trendy in Kigali, everyone knows I love African contemporary fashion so I cant wait to go shopping for prints in Kigali! 4. Akagera Game Park: A safari I havent done that before !  5. Nyungwe park: The canopy walk! I am so afraid of heights but I have to do this!  6. Hotel Rwanda: the Hollywood Genocide Rwanda movie was about Hotel des miles Collines by Kempinski. That definitely seems worth a visit.  7. Goma in Congo Kinshasha is 5 minutes away from Gisenyi. It is possible to cross the border via Gisenyi to Goma. (Unfortunately, Belgium’ foreign affairs department gives a negative advice to cross the border in Goma due to rebel activities on the Congolese side.)  8. Lake Kivu, photo via Pinterest via camera_Rwanda. Swimming in a volcanic lake that would be another first! People have melted/drowned in this lake as the volcano releases acids in the water. Apparently it is best to check where the local population swims and swim in the same spot.  9. I love tea and Rwanda produces the best premium quality tea in the world! I can’t wait to consult UCTCCN!  = Tea Lover consulting a Tea Co-op; I <3 it !  Now it is time to contact Union des cooperatives Théicoles de la Crete Congo nil, UCTCCN and get down to business. https://www.francinecarron.com/theinclusionmasala/if-governments-dont-help-we-can-refugeeswelcome monthly 0.5 2015-09-05 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5652277fe4b0991ab315ae73/1692612559795-KGLI9EEYSKQV8IJCLBY3/tumblr_nu7mi4gP0u1ubz1fbo1_1280.jpg The Inclusion Masala If governments don’t help we can! #refugeeswelcome #refugeecrisiseurope https://www.francinecarron.com/theinclusionmasala/preparingforrwanda monthly 0.5 2015-09-03 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5652277fe4b0991ab315ae73/1692612560029-9YR0GKHFOYQAHMG9G9VX/tumblr_ntv3ozM2Ah1ubz1fbo1_250.jpg The Inclusion Masala Preparing for Rwanda!  Before starting to discuss the entire project with the Rwandan Organisation  ‘Union des cooperatives Théicoles de la Crete Congo Nil - UCTCCN’ I have to be interviewed by Exhange vzw. (http://www.exchangevzw.be)  Exchange vzw is a Belgian organisation that offers companies and organisations the possibility to benefit from a wide range of voluntary top experts. Exchange offers expertise almost for free so that companies in developing countries can grow the (local) economy to create new jobs. Companies and socio-economic organisations whom comply with a set of clearly defined selection criteria can apply for assistance of a volunteer expert. Exchange vzw learned throughout the years that there is a tangible need for assistance on a technical or management level. What is Exchange vzw procedure ? The selected volunteer expert and the company exchange of knowledge takes place directly. The entrepreneur/ company asks himself for expertise as he understands best what the needs of the company exactly are. The company decides which expert he wishes to collaborate with. (Me in this case!..yay.) Afterwards, an intensive exchange of knowledge and cross-pollination between both parties takes place. Exchange obtains tangible results with an absolute minimum of means. Voluntary high-level experts with the right competences, a proven track record and intrinsic motivation help companies expand or improve. Exchange funds itself via private companies and subsidies in the West whom are interested in giving ‘free consulting’ to help other companies.   I am nervous about the interview with Exchangevzw, it feels like going to a job interview all over again! What wil they ask? I am not a tea expert - I am knowledgable about the genocide but I am not an expert on Central and East Africa… So everything continues with Google search… 1. Youtube: is a good help starting with the US Policy toward Rwanda - Congressional hearing held on May 20, 2015 : 2,5 hours of listening while cleaning around the house gives you a little maybe ?‘biased?  inside into Rwandan politics at the moment https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JMPSNh690NY 2. While reading the history of Rwanda all over again, I was shocked to find out that it was the Belgians who created such a large division between the Hutus and Tutsis. The Belgian colonials arrived and measured the noses of the local population. Hutus had bigger noses whereas Tutsis had slimmer more European-like noses. Everyone received an ID card that said whether they were Hutus or Tutsis. Such a division didn’t really exist in pre-colonial Rwanda. Being a Hutu or a Tutsi had more to do with how much wealth a person had. However, it was the Belgians who created the ethnical divide in Rwanda which later was a basis for genocide propoganda. While growing up in Belgium, we were not taught in elementary school why there was such a division between Hutus and Tutsis. We used to watch the news in 1994 of the genocide in school and were thought that it was the savage behaviour of the African people. (A good thing that there is now a movement called #TheAfricaTheMediaNeverShowsYou). The 1994 genocide images have always stuck with me,… the red-colored rivers, the dead bodies floating…as a child I felt much pain for the Rwandan people.  Enough history read,  3. Tripadvisor: While going through traveller photos my love for Rwanda is growing stronger. Magnificent pictures by those travellers, I can’t get enough. Those mountains are beyond fantastic. My friends are telling me: ‘Now that you have seen the entire country online there is no more point to go.’ They are scared that I will be travelling alone. Most people still have those horrible genocide pictures of Rwanda in their head. After viewing Rwanda’s nature for hours I am convinced this might be the most beautiful place on earth.  4. Pinterest & Instagram: are good tools to learn about activities in Rwanda. On Instagram I learned that women are allowed in the Rwandan army just as Israel. Rwanda is one of the largest contributors of soldiers to the UN deployment missions. Rwanda also has 60% women in the government. Seems like Rwanda is the place to be for career driven women. #noglassceiling All of a sudden Rwanda is starting to sound as a better place to live than Belgium. 5. Stromae: is the most famous Belgian international artists and is of Rwandan origin. After scrolling down on his Facebook page I read that he has cancelled his concerts in Congo and Rwanda. It might be moved to September. Hopefully I ll be there as well! I definitely can’t wait to sing a long to Papaoutai in Kigali.  6. My personal contacts/ The importance of alumni networks: Who better to contact than my Rwandese friend Nausicaa HK whom I went to the international university (http://www.vesalius.edu) Vesalius College with in 2003?  Last time I checked Nausicaa was working as a communication officer for UNDP in Kigali. I contact her on Facebook, Ubuntu she says! In no time I know everything about Rwanda and now have a place to stay in Kigali as Nausicaa is inviting me. That makes me think…Who else do I know? Aha!  Anne-Marie from SN Brussels was previously station manager in Monrovia and is now based in Kigali. It seems as if I am going to have a good time  in Rwanda and now I am ready for the interview with Exchangevzw. https://www.francinecarron.com/theinclusionmasala/on-my-way-to-work-i-see-a-lot-of-depressing-faces monthly 0.5 2015-09-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5652277fe4b0991ab315ae73/1692612561239-G0YR8ZAXIILTG9VH70OR/tumblr_nu1eq3JcyB1ubz1fbo1_1280.jpg The Inclusion Masala On my way to work I see a lot of depressing faces… Not me though; I love my job!

A year and half ago I set up a microfinance branch in Antwerp, Belgium for microStart the largest microfinance institution in the country. I was so excited to have been selected for this particular function. It has been my long time career dream to combine business and social work. Due to long, intensive working hours and a great team that I hired our microfinance branch has become a success. It was a tough time but looking back we had so much fun. Being a microfinance manager is no longer a job but it has become my life style. Now that we have exceeded our targets and the agency is running smoothly I have time again for new personal ventures. So I began searching around… As microStart shares are 70% owned by BNP Paribas ‘Fortis’, (one of the largest bank groups in the world https://www.bnpparibasfortis.be ), I came in contact with BenevoLab headed by Chantal Katamari. (http://benevolab.org) BenevoLab is an organisation supported by BNP Paribas Fortis that offers everyone the opportunity to volunteer their skills to MicroFinance Institutions (MFI) and international NGO working on projects with a high social and economic impact. In my office, I work constantly with volunteers supporting our customers and agency so I thought to myself why not take a short time off and take on the challenge to volunteer myself? BenevoLab send me different missions across the world and I applied for a mission in Gisenyi, Rwanda. I had never been to East Africa and I have been dying to go for the longest. I was beyond happy to find out that the Rwandese organisation had selected my CV versus someone with +25 years of experience. They had written me an email that they were delighted to have my expertise due to the fact I had already set up a microfinance branch. Ten years of hard work living, studying and working in Brussels, Antwerp, Beaumont, Monrovia, Houston, Nashik, Pune,  Sevilla, Lagos, Rotterdam, Paris, Lissabon, Abuja, Port Harcourt while raising my kid; I am now going to Kigali, Gisenyi Rwanda for a short time!  The mission/project is to develop a strategic plan for L’Union des cooperatives  Théicoles de la Crete Congo Nil, UCTCCN and proposing a framework for setting up a microfinance institution.  https://www.francinecarron.com/theinclusionmasala/tag/sustainability monthly 0.5

Small Businesses - VSME Voluntary Sustainability Standards for SMEs (VSME) provide a streamlined, accessible approach to sustainability reporting, offering a “light version” of the European Sustainability Reporting Standards (ESRS) outlined in the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD). These standards are designed to help small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) align with sustainability practices without the complexities and extensive requirements faced by larger organizations. SMEs that proactively adopt VSME not only enhance their transparency and credibility but also gain a first-mover advantage. Early adoption positions these businesses as sustainability leaders within their sector, giving them a competitive edge when working with larger corporations or government contracts that prioritize sustainable suppliers. Furthermore, aligning with these voluntary standards allows SMEs to smoothly transition into more comprehensive reporting requirements should they become mandatory in the future, reinforcing their market resilience. My team and I can help you navigate and implement these voluntary sustainability standards effectively. With tailored guidance, I ensure that your business aligns with the right practices, gains market differentiation, and builds stronger stakeholder relationships, positioning you for long-term success. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5652277fe4b0991ab315ae73/1691241063303-QIF78K9LQ56JAM0VT9DP/image-asset.jpeg My Services https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5652277fe4b0991ab315ae73/1691241313315-FS6422FOHG464ER7WRNY/image-asset.jpeg My Services -
