      • Proposal cecilia: They are both in debt to us (Frederick and Virginia), and we may need to develop a plan for 2023 for both. We want to continue supporting them but now ensuring the outcome and progress markers. Maybe you want to develop a draft contract that you bring to the meeting and discuss. We are ready to re-invest. We are fine with perceiving the first loan as a pilot activity to learn from, both for the RISE members and for Branch Kenya. As long as we learn our lesson.
      • Visit Amani group in Nakuru by the end of December this year (Kevin, Kelvin and Anne). Ce proposes: postponed until Freja and Felicia arrives (if they do). They can then do an in depth TestE survey. would you mind waiting until January 2023, to find out if Freja and Felicia were able to attract a project grant and visit you. If they do, they would preferable join you to Nakuru, and before they go I will train them on TestE, so that they can help with the survey on site. They will pay for their own travel from the grant, and ActionInvest will pay for Team Kenya.
