This is an ambitious SAFARI, and one I would prefer to not walk alone! I am always looking for help and company along the way. In particular, I am looking for assistance in the following areas:
Proposal Development
I have developed a project proposal for this project and I am always interested in sharing it with experts who have experience in project planning and development. Their questions and feedback always help me strengthen and polish this proposal. If you would like to be a sounding board for my project proposal – don’t hesitate to contact me.
Funding
I am currently seeking funding for this project. If you are involved in philanthropy, corporate social responsibility, or work with NGOs dedicated to supporting income generation projects and/or sustainable livelihoods – I hope we can be in touch.
Chocolatiering Skill Sharing
If you are a Chocolatier, or a Chocolate-Maker and you would like to share your skills and business experience, you are be in a position to make a valuable contribution. I am currently studying chocolatiering through Ecole Chocolat (http://www.ecolechocolat.com/) and am always seeking mentorship for more hands-on learning. As well, as this project begins in Zanzibar I would be looking for chocolatiers and chocolate-makers who would be interested in doing some on-site training. If any of these options appeal to you – I would be thrilled to talk more!
Social Entrepreneurs
As a community development worker who is morphing into a social entrepreneur, I still am new to this growing area. If you are a social entrepreneur and would like to share lessons from your own experiences, pass along ideas and resources – I hope you will be in touch.
Networking- Connecting
I love meeting “connectors” – people who have a gift of networking and building connections! If you would like to share this blog, pass along a resource, facilitate an introduction – I would love to hear from you!
