After the ACE leadership training, I had the opportunity to spend a day in Kigali. I volunteered to do a Social Media and Professional Networking workshop for second year students at the Akilah Institute for Women. The organization was founded by Elizabeth Dearborn Davis and Dave Hughes.

Note from Beth: By the time you read this post, I’ll be in the air enroute to Rwanda for a training project.

This year a lot of my work as Visiting Scholar at the David and Lucile Packard Foundation is working with grantees outside of the US. I’ve just returned from leading a training for Population and Reproductive Health grantees from India. Grantee organizations will measure what matters. Program Design.
