Listo, set, go!
I have a place to live and a place to work. This week has been very productive, as first I found a room in a condominium in a nice part of Santiago - Providencia, and I am staying with a family. The room is impeccable and it is very cheap to live there. The only thing is that there are two little kids, 2 and 5 years old, and I am hoping they don't drive me nuts. Otherwise, it's a great set up.
2nd, I am officially working for Accion Emprendedora starting tomorrow at 9 AM. It is a 15 minute walk from my residence, so less money shall be spent on transport. The internship sounds very exciting. First I will be collaborating on creating a entrepreneurship cirriculum for AE clients. Then I will work on leadership education cirriculum. And then there will also be the research on micro-lending sources.
AE is an interesting and exciting organization. It is based inside a university and its director is a Duke-educated lawyer. The organization works to train small business owners in poor communities on how to create a business plan, and then it works to procure funding for the business person through banks. And finally, for about 6 months, trained graduates in fields corresponding to the business help the entrepreneur sustain his/her business.
My boss is the director and he is also a entrepreneurship/leadership professor at the university. I'm excited because he wants to learn more about teaching leadership, and I have been in leadership programs or classes since 10th grade in high school. I want to learn more about entrepreneurship, so this will be a great exchange I think.
I hope all goes well and I enjoy my work. I am very excited to be pretty much past the phase of finding a place to live and work and am ready to start settling in to normality.
Will surely keep this thing updated with the latest!
