Hey Ron, I'm sure there is good stuff happening over there all the time! The media tends to feature one side. Bad news is good news for news. SO nice to see some real good news coming out of Rwanda! Congrats!
No harm in joining the list and networks, but your main market is your local community. Best to spend the time working those relationships then broadcasting on the global bulletin board. As it's been said many times in this group; build the community first. Our biggest success are groups of little wins and losses that happen along the way within our community and organically grow which provides greater sustainability. Hosting events around your focus market are great ways to get people into the space. It's always the greatest "sell" to see and experience the space and the community in it. Host a JELLY or IGNITE: Kigali, to get the tech/media/geek crowd in or a meetup for journalists, etc. Your local media should be jumping at this kind of news. Free press! Love the trees out front! Show some of the surrounding area on going - location/ environment are key. That said - continue to use this international group - there are lots of great people willing to share stories, ideas, cautions, etc. Peace!
