\n\u00c9milie and Biljana in\u00a0Ivory Coast<\/strong><\/p>\n

Last Friday, we were invited to a \u201ctherapy of the fairies\u2019 network\u201d. The \u201cfairies\u201d are business leaders or considering becoming business leaders. Every month, they meet to exchange on their difficulties and benefit from their mutual experience.<\/p>\n

The theme of the day is \u201cvision\u201d : the most experienced members insist on the importance of picturing oneself achieving one\u2019s goal. It is necessary to take the time to close the eyes and depict the scene in details. For this vision not to become an illusion however, they recommend to set oneself goals for the next 6 months and to identify the impediments at the end of this period.<\/p>\n

All of the fairies have an extraordinary story to share and we are thinking about interviewing some of them for you. We went out of the therapy with a crazy will to tear down walls and some stomach cramps after having laughed so much\u2026 A big thank you to the fairies!<\/p>\n

Marie and Clara in Myanmar <\/strong><\/p>\n

This past week, we were invited to a wedding by Ni Ni Tun, one of the beneficiaries of Empow\u2019Her\u2019s program. Equipped with our Longyi (typical Burmese clothes), we jumped at this chance. As we got\u00a0stuck in traffic on the way, we arrived a bit late to the ceremony. We were among the special guests and had to go through the whole room in order to go seat in the first row, next to the father of the bride, which was very embarrassing…<\/p>\n

In any case, the experience was amazing and it was great to discover a Burmese wedding. As it was a Christian wedding, it was not so different for us, except when they cut the cake between 2 prayers, with a knife ornamented with a plastic ribbon, which ruined the work of the pastry cook.<\/p>\n

L\u00e9o and Marine in Peru<\/strong><\/p>\n

At the beginning of the second week, we had a meeting with Rufino, a farmer of Marachanca, to help him plant new avocado trees, like our predecessors Alexis and Louise, 8 months before us.<\/p>\n

Despite the instructions we had to find the place, our walk quickly turned into an impossible trek. Indeed, with the rainy season, the mountains were covered of a luxuriant vegetation involving tall grass, flowers and cacti which were\u00a0covering completely the tracks of a potential path. We ended up on all fours, zigzagging between cacti\u00a0to climb the steep slope. After an hour of struggle, we arrived at Rufino\u2019s, out of breath, sweaty and our clothes covered in sticky grass. After having planted 7 new avocado trees, Rufino told us how\u00a0to go back to Matucana in less than 10 minutes. Of course, the way back was easier\u2026 but much less funny.<\/p>\n

\u00c9lodie and Gabriel in Senegal <\/strong><\/p>\n

This Thursday 6 April, we organised, with the help of our local partners, our first official meeting with the women of the village of Senktiou M\u00e9kh\u00e9. This meeting aimed at presenting ourselves officially but also presenting the project that we are going to implement in the village.<\/p>\n

Even if all the women of the village were not able to attend, about twenty women were there. Thanks to the precious help of our interpret Abdou, the women were able to ask their questions and we made easy contact. We then spent the rest of the day in the village in order to discover\u00a0the Senegalese culture better.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
