Yesterday, 20 people from across Canada will be coming together in support of two organizations working in one country, Rwanda, to focus on issues of leadership and the development of human capital. A few participants for the first-ever Made in Rwanda Insight Trip and Leadership Summit are already on the ground and others have started blogging, posting on Opportunity Canada’s Facebook page and sharing about their experiences so far. Here’s a few of them…

• Lisa Wiebe… and her husband Roland shared their upcoming excitement for the trip in a post called “Leaving on a Jet Plane.” Read the post here…
• Opportunity Canada Director of Philanthropy Jon Osmond shares some packing insights (truly insightful and not really about packing) in his post “Less than 48 hrs & an Empty Suitcase.” You can read the full post here…
• Opportunity Canada Marketing Director Brady Josephson shared five things from his first day, including thoughts on landing in Rwanda to the greatest Journey song ever made. Read the full post here…
• Finally, Opportunity Canada’s Executive Vice President Doris Olafsen has posted a few times already, sharing her passion in “29 Days… That’s Different,” sharing her colleague and fellow trip participant Kim Asman’s passion in “This isn’t MY story… this is KIM’s story” and finally sharing an Opportunity’s donor’s passion and how they view Opportunity’s work in “Thank you Gilles for helping us see what you see!” You can read all of these posts on Doris’s story page here.
