Delays, Delays

On the issue of returning to Africa we have reached a critical junction. The board of directors for the devlopment agecny has voted not to approve. There is an appeals process and the branch manager and the project supervisor from the devlopment agency reccomend that the project be taken down that path. They still very much want the project to move forward. I cannot speculate on the reasons for denial but the report should be out tommrow. When I was in Botswana the national devlopment agency and the national devlopment bank we accused of not approving good business plans so that they could pass them off to friends. I dont know what happened but the though has crossed my mind. Everyone so far involved in the project is convinced of its viability... even those with MBAs who work at the branch and district level. Time will tell. For the mean time I shall continue to prepare for my return to the music school world.
