Koinonia Foundation’s YouTube Channel
Koinonia Foundation has a YouTube channel! We’ve been busily uploading our videos and plan to upload some more soon. These FlipCams we’ve got have proven to be very popular – and very useful. We’re even filming some of our informational video on them. Check out a video we uploaded of the training session last month in Kigali for the Beacon Program. It’s after the jump!
Training was a somewhat relaxed affair – but effective. The women told us that Nicole (the business student who interned for us to provide the training) helped them like no one ever has. A lot of the women don’t have more than a primary level education, and very little to no education in business skills, but they certainly have a lot of experience to bring to the table. Nicole took the time to treat them like the smart individuals they are, and they reaped the benefits.
The other person you’ll see in this first video is Jerome, who translated from Kinyarwanda to English. The women said that the training was not only for business – but for English as well. They’re keen to learn English to be taken as serious business women in Rwanda and East Africa, and we’re looking for someone to help them out.
The second video shows the women putting their new skills (and notebook) into use at the shop.
