Sinopsis

For Beyond 50's "Travel" talks, listen to an interview with Rick and Wendy Walleigh. They are former corporate executives from Silicon Valley technology firms in California. An inspiring couple, they moved to Swaziland in July of 2006, taking their skills to make a positive social impact: encourage sustainable development through entrepreneurship in African cities as their encore career in nonprofit economic development. Wendy launched a youth program in Swaziland (JA Swaziland) and supported the Young Women in Entrepreneurship program in Kenya. Rick used his management consulting background to advise small businesses that included a bottled water company, a utility pole processor, a commercial bakery and a piggery in Swaziland. He also helped the new TechnoServe Country Director in Kenya and to a lesser extent in Uganda to improve project management and financial controls.
