Today was the official launch of We Know Politics II. The festivities were set to kick off at 9am, so naturally three of us – myself and Richard, who were in charge of playing the slideshow I created yesterday, and Samuel, the WiLDAF driver – headed off to the Ministry of Local Government at about 10:10. Our mission was to inquire as to whether the Minister would be attending later that morning. That’s right, three of us went to do this job, while any one of us could have accomplished it in a fraction of the time with one phone call. In any event, we managed to arrive back at the launch just as things were kicking off – over 90 minutes behind schedule.
The launch itself went quite well, and the slideshow and Bernice’s speech were well-received. There were probably over 300 people in attendance, including the Minister for Women and Children’s Affairs, a female Chief, and a bunch or representatives from Western aid organizations that are contributing to the project financially. There was even a live band. Overall it was a very celebratory atmosphere.
