Today, the summer internship team got together.
In the morning, Suparna, our CEO, Malick, Christian(development expert who is helping WOW this summer) and 5 interns met at WOW's office. Meeting started with watching a WOW's video(http://wowforafrica.com/wow/), and after quick introductions of each of us, Suparna gave us an idea of WOW's mission, portofolio companies, Economy of Senegal, and her expectation of this summer internship.
We learnt that the goals of this summer internship program are still open-ended. In addition to help current portofolio companies, WOW has a few projects, such as opening a business center for local entrepreneurs, starting business training sessions etc. Also, how WOW should be organized might need consideration. Suparna emphasized that she wanted us not only to focus on "what to do," but also to create the system/frameworks on which WOW can work on in an efficient way in the future.
