<\/a>The group October 10<\/p><\/div><\/p>\n
2011 is now added to the history and I do here a brief summary of the past year. On January 8, Bernt and I traveled to the Congo in two weeks. In Kinshasa, we visited the Swedish Embassy. We then proceeded to Kimpese, slept over at IME’s guest house and had some meetings with Emy Miantezila. Most of the time we were in Matadi. We followed up the training of \u00ab\u00a0October 10 Group\u00a0\u00bb and wrote out all the documents for the loans which were then paid out on February 18 . Total loan amount was 27 350 U.S. dollars. The installment of these loans began on\u00a0 July\u00a030 and broadly follows the plan has been made.<\/p>\n
<\/a>The group January 11<\/p><\/div>\n
For three days we trained a new group of ten entrepreneurs, called \u00ab\u00a0January 11\u00a0\u00bb, during two days of joint review and a day for individual calls. Their activities are different food production as growing grain, vegetables, poultry farm, pig farming, sewing clothing, car service and shops.They seek together loan of 51,000 U.S. dollars, we hope to be able to grant them 36,000 U.S. dollars. We have not managed to get together the money yet. We are looking for sponsors to lend or give us money so we can fulfil our mission.<\/p>\n
<\/a>The Nsanda Group<\/p><\/div>\n
On June 3, Bernt and I went back for three weeks to the Congo. The first week we were in Kinshasa and worked with the education of twelve Congolese who want to work with the agricultural project Nsanda, many are graduates and nearly all have work in Kinshasa so we had to use Saturday and Sunday for training. Nsanda become a collective project that we call Nsanda Group. At our disposal, we have 315 hectares of land. The loan to Nsanda Group was 16,550 U.S. dollars and paid in connection with our journey. The first installment takes place after the first harvest in February 2012. We visited the Swedish Embassy and showed a Power Point presentation and reported on our activities. We also visited some friends in Kinshasa.<\/p>\n
Before us we have many exciting projects: training new groups of entrepreneurs, develop family farms, start training for entrepreneurs in a gymnasium in Matadi, start production of wood stoves, start an import firm for solar cells that can generate power for lighting, cell phones, computers and TV.<\/p>\n
On January 30 we will travel next to the Congo.<\/p>\n
