Imagine each cafe churning out a resolution, how far would we have gone... Anyway there is a saying that there is a beginning for everything. Discussions focused on collective funds, the power of collaboration to provide a means to an end, making it easier for us to think about bigger things share bigger actionable dreams, this is what we were discussing. Our own with vast experience Mr. Denis Aliga & Mr. Jeffrey Onegi-Obel explained to us how we have to shine together otherwise the days of lone stars are long gone! The President WNF could not hide his excitement for this new revelation, Ms. Munduru too was so happy to veer into new territory. A lesson we all learned is to focus more on innovation of ideas and getting down to action when still hot, otherwise we face the risk of them being watered down by “Analysis by paralysis” a common management problem. Many are aware of this one “Boss I have a good idea” then the boss says “Please write a contemporary concept note and professional proposals giving various scenarios/possibilities of boosting the business - then call a meeting next quarter so that we can discuss your idea ”. We learned that we have to be enterprising in times when little is done by governments but more is expected of the private sector system. For our members who could not make it, there were videos and pictures taken we shall see how best to present these documentations online, we shall also circulate the presentation made as soon as possible. An interim team was set up to quickly put in place a club and engage a fund manager and Mr. Aliga offered free technical support to get this project off the ground. Next time we should be able to resolve on how to intervene on Agriculture, Land Degradation, Decline in Education standards etc etc - A big thanks to all participants, contributors and all members. Lastly lets extend a big thank you to Joseph Dramadri for hosting the Science cafe at his famous club in Naalya.
