Woohoo! We have chosen our Project Coordinator!

Posted by Andrea Wilkinson on June 18, 2008 10:06 AM | 

Well I’m all packed (a huge challenge what with all these baskets and gorillas!) Going home actually feels good after yesterday’s landmark event.

Four candidates had second interviews, this time in front of a panel including a director of the Chamber of Arts and Crafts and a Rwandan Private Sector Federation representative, as well as Joan from COFTA and, of course me, representing Shared Interest Foundation.

I have to say that I was glad I was on the other side of the table! The four candidates had to answer tough questions about the Rwanda Handicraft sector, project management and Fair Trade standards in three - yes three - different languages (English, French and Kinyarwanda.)

After the panel collected their thoughts and scored each candidate I was delighted there was a clear winner.

Woohoo! We have chosen our Project Coordinator!

So today we will be sorting out contracts, start dates and induction plans!

This is a major step and it is all starting to feel excitingly real. The last 10 days have been busy but we have achieved so much, which is a great feeling to have as I dash for the airport.
