Moving in

Laurent and Sachiko (me) are two of 5 (possibly 6) summer interns at WOW Dakar office this year.

WOW levered its summer internship program as an opportunity of intensively finding and evaluating their portfolio companies here in Senegal. You can also check the blog written by interns of last summer at http://realtravel.com/senegal-trips-i4941348.html

Laurent and I are a married couple. Laurent is MBA '06 from UC Berkeley and I am MBA '08 from Stanford. We just flied into Dakar last Saturday, and met Malick at the airport. Malick is a full-time staff at WOW Dakar office and has been extremely helpful for our landing here.

Malick has been very busy setting up WOW's new Dakar office since last week. The picture is Malick and Laurent checking the comfort of brand-new chairs...

We just got internet the day before yesterday and we still need some work for office equipments, but Laurent and I are very excited to learn Senegalese culture and to meet the portofolio companies soon!
