So Monday and Tuesday of Week 3 was spent gathering the rest of the surveys we needed. After that, Tuesday night was spent finalizing and prepping for our presentations on Wednesday. We had to come up with a 30 minute powerpoint presentation for Andrew, several of the New Horizons employees and their families. No pressure right? We were able to get a powerpoint together and felt pretty good about it.
So Wednesday morning the group decided to dress up a little bit for our presentations. I actually put on a skirt and some makeup for the first time of the trip. Amazing I know!! So once everyone made it to the farm, all of the groups went down to Andrew's house to get ready to present. He had a projector set up and about 10 very important people for New Horizons and their families were there ready to watch. Presentations were fun for me to watch because I already kind of knew what other groups were working on, but not in full detail. So it was cool to really hear what all they had been up to and what all they had discovered. There are 5 groups total.. There is the poultry/bio security team, water quality team, accounting team, One Egg team, and then mine which was the Micronutrient team. Listening to everyone's presentations you could just tell that everyone had really put their heart and hardwork into it! There was so much pride in the work we have completed. I mean this is the first time most of us are giving a presentation on something because we genuinely want to inform others and not just because it was a required assignment. The New Horizons employees were very appreciative of all our hard work and had several questions for each team to help their business. It is crazy because New Horizons is one of the top businesses here in Mozambique and the fact they genuinely wanted to use our research and suggestions to help improve their business speaks volumes to us. This opportunity would not have happened back at home thats for sure. It feels good to know that Andrew and New Horizons was thankful and honestly really impressed with everyone.
