It all started when two couples convened for a weekend retreat together…
The Crockett and Jukanovich couples have been kindred spirits and dear friends since they lived near each other in Seattle’s inner city (the Rainier Valley district). Although they have lived in separate cities and countries for the past six years, this friendship has proven to be one of those rare gifts that perpetually challenges and inspires. It seemed innocent enough to spend a weekend together considering what the future might hold… but what emerged by Sunday was a common dream nobody suspected; a dream that has captured their imagination and determination to see what they could do to join the hopeful work going on in Rwanda. The simple ‘vision’ was stated: To move two families to Rwanda in order to do what they do best for the benefit of those who need it most.
And what an adventure this simple vision has set into motion….
This is the first posting in an attempt to trace the dream we now call Karisimbi Business Partners. Our initial inspiration and advice came from those leading Hope International, Bridge2Rwanda and the KIST Business Incubator. Please forgive any naivety or mistakes revealed in this or future posts, they are ours and should not reflect adversely to those advising us. Our desire is to use this blog as a forum for refining our thoughts, sharing what we've learned, and inviting others to the journey so they can inform and extend it in better ways. One thing we know for sure: we have a lot to learn! We look forward to using this forum to learn more quickly and share more broadly than would otherwise be feasible.
Onward & Upward!
