For those of you who have run the SHE race with us, the
journey has been long but you can raise your glasses and let's toast to our pad
production machines arriving in Rwanda. We are ready to launch the "LaunchPad!"
Since January 2013, I have been feeling like an expecting
mother; from procuring machines to finding shippers to the nearest port of
entry to Rwanda and after 2 months of waiting; the machines finally landed a
month ago. The excitement, the anxiety, etc, took all the better of me. Just the
sight of the machines drove my passion even deeper.

Now that the machines are settled, our energy is high again with
the recruitment and training of the local technicians. Exciting!
In other news, for the past 4 weeks, the Rwanda office has been buzzing with activity from the entire SHE team, well part of the team (SHE is more than just NY and Rwanda office).

Cece, Connie and Elizabeth have been hanging out in the Rwanda office immersing themselves in a range of things from creating menstrual health manuals to testing the pad brand to visiting the production sites and pausing for pictures, of course we also made sure we took pictures of the only SHE staff members who loves asking for pictures but not taking them, Connie!
