Starting today, we're working from another location. Far from the incubator but close to the decision makers. we're moving to another half of the period of our assignment. Till now we have been able to review the business incubator in Fortaleza city, identify the pain points and prepare a several suggestions for improvement. We were also able to clarify our scope of work and prepare the draft of the business incubator implementation model in another campuses across the Ceara state. For me it was a challenge, but I understand that Christine is pretty familiar with this kind of elaboration. Another new experience for me. But today we did the final review of the document and forwarded to our translator Anderson. After the translation to Portuguese it will be sent to our client for review. We expect the review will take place on Monday and Tuesday. On Monday we plan to prepare the presentation for students in IFCE. They are curious about IBM, our jobs, what we're doing in Brazil and also something about our cultural identity. We're also supported by IFCE finally. We're really looking forward.
We went for lunch with our pro-rector of post gradual and innovation, Azuir Ripardo. After that, he took us to the tour of Fortaleza, showing us places where we have never been before. It was really interesting for us to see the real life of in Brazil, not the one in the tourist area where our hotel is located. There are many poor areas and of course the bottom of the poverty in Brazil - favela - but fancy one, with electricity.
For me this tour was a highlight of the day and great end of the working week. But week is not over yet. Some people from our group decided to go to Rio. I'll go there after my assignment so plan is to go to the Guaramiranga. Leaving Fortaleza on Saturday, 11:00AM.
