This post it is not about a workshop for our youth entrepreneurs but the evaluation I conducted about Vivamos el Bosque. Been accountable is for me very important… I am constantly asking myself if the program I designed is really benefitting the youth from “El Maltón” community or if the beneficiaries are supporting the activities…
The better way to know about their perspective is asking for their feedback and listening carefully for their recommendations. To be successful, Vivamos el Bosque must be genuine in its work with beneficiaries and the community, clear in its financial dealings and open about what the money is spent on, and veritable in its reporting. After a long talk with our young entrepreneurs, I am really happy that Vivamos el Bosque is fulfilling most of their expectations and that they are feeling encouraged to become social entrepreneurs. They asked for information about the legal requirements to start a company in Ecuador and the step by step to obtain the sanitary permission. These topics will be covered in the coming workshops.
Finally, Vivamos el Bosque wants to also be accountable to itself, to its mission, friends and volunteers. Please feel free to ask for any information you may need. It is important for us!
