We had a 15 person strategy meeting with the Kipepeo executive on Sunday night - items recommended for them include an ecotourism program as this area has many attractions and is easily accessible from the well known Masai Mara. We also recommended an internet cafe as interest is growing and individuals have to take public transport form 20 minutes to get to the nearest one. We showed them how to set our a project timeline and map, making sure accountability was focussed on individuals. This apparently was well received however we all understand we will be taking smaller steps than we talked about and that they will take longer. We also gave a lecture on growing business opportunities and tied it into exporting items from the region to bring in increased dollars to the local economy - ie ecotourism, etc. We also focussed on the lack of innovation demonstrated here as most products have a commoditized feel to them - thus we had discussions on product differentiation. In between all this we had our authentic African sleepover with all of us sleeping in mud huts on the floor with all kinds of bugs crawling around - surprisingly a good sleep but do have some new bite marks but have not yet started foaming at the mouth:) Cheers,  Scott
