After a long hiatus, IBD Executive Director David Richardson traveled briefly to Finland and Germany in November to meet with potential project clients and friends of the IBD program. David’s long overdue overseas trip was an opportunity to talk in person about the IBD program while exploring potential project sites for our newest IBD students.

“Different teams bring different perspectives, certain resources that we would not have access to, etc. I think working with an IBD team brings a more comprehensive view on what we’re doing” - Angela Ansah during an interview about Ashesi’s experience. http://ow.ly/Enya50GhgFQ
