We met with the Secretary of the Joint Action Development Forum on Friday. Andria, John and I walked into her office and spent some time presenting our business plan. She was very encouraging. I spoke for the first few minutes and asked if she would like me to go over our powerpoint presentation. That is when she asked a question that I didn't quite understand. That was about the last word I spoke as John took over and carried on a conversation with her for the next 20 minutes. From the voice inflection it sounded like things were going well.
Sure enough at the end of the conversation John translated everything and basically said that she would present our project to the Joint Action Development Team next week and we would hear back from her on Friday, December 24th. Wow! It went better than I imagined. The woman then spoke to Andria and I directly and said that she was very excited that we were building a school in their district.
We left the District office encouraged. We then went to the next "lower" government agency the Sector and gave them a copy of the business plan so that they knew what was going on. What a day! We thank God for creating this opportunity!
