Last night, we had dinner and drinks with the Executive Management team who are all in South Africa to have a global meeting about CHAI. It's amazing how well Rhode Island is represented in CHAI. Ira Magaziner, the Chairman (Bristol), Ed Wood, the CEO (Hope Valley), and Peter Ellis, the regional director for Southern Africa (lives between Malawi and Barrington), and of course my mom (Cranston) are all representing Little Rhody across the world!
There were several other country directors there including Gerald from Kenya and Anthony from Zambia who were both really friendly and interesting. Alot of people there were part of the first group that tried to get an HIV campaign started in South Africa about 8 years ago and ran into roadblocks that were too difficult to get past. They were really excited about the progress the team here has made.
I also ate Kudu for dinner! It's a type of antelope and was pretty good but a little tough.
