New volunteer on the way

Irna is our new volunteer from MBAs Without Borders, an organisation that empowers entrepreneurs in developing countries by matching them with experienced MBAs and together developing market-based solutions. Check out their website: www.mbaswithoutborders.org/.

Irna comes with bags of experience. 'I've worked for years for corporate America, as well as setting up a start-up and country offices,' she says. 'I'm really excited about this work with SolarAid in Tanzania and putting to good use the skills I've learnt.'

Irna arrived in Dar Es Salaam, the capital of Tanzania, yesterday evening after spending a two day induction in the SolarAid office in London, where we went through all our strategies and plans. She was greeted in Dar by John Keane, our Head of Programmes, who was just on his way back from a trip to visit our team in Zambia. Irna has now settled into her new home in Dar and is already hitting the ground running!
