Happy Birthday Athena.
"Hi all, Good news- it looks like we might have success recruiting the Universtity to do Soline's irrigation project. A friend of mine who lives in the college's town has many friends who work there and referred me to this guy. I will follow up and seal the deal. Susan, please remember to bring home the site plans that Soline has. Due to the issue with the burial site, I know she has a revised land survey plan, but the site plan may still need to be revised. If it has not been done yet, tell her to send the original plan. Sabra, The project will not be completed until May. We will not know the estimated cost until then, but Soline should include some number in her business plan, as her loan will need to cover it. I am taking a wild guess that $1,500. should cover it.
Thanks, Tatyana"
Bpeace power. Bpeace potential . . . .Heart. Reflection. Action
How to describe your business and brand in a headline was our objective for today. And how to use a headline in marketing and to deepen employee understanding was a good discussion. But as we kicked off the Key Message Workshop with examples from ads we’ve seen in Kigali we saw the light bulbs beginning to flicker in the minds of the associates. Maybe there is something to this marketing thing after all. By the end of the morning, after each woman had developed her own message that she loved -- the lights were shining bright. It was an unmistakable Aha! moment.
Among our favorites :
"We make beautiful queens" . . . .Harriette's salon
"Plants add life and style to your home and business" . . . .Soline's landscaping and nursery
"Your happiness is our only joy". . .Sylvie's amusement park
"Fresh milk is always on our uruhimbi" . . .Console's dairy bar.
p.s. Don't know what a uruhimbi is? Its the traditional place in Rwandan homes where every child knows they will find milk
