[Hidden-tech] Education Job in Boston & Rwanda

[Dan Kirsch]

I'm helping an old friend spread the word about this organization's search
for its first Executive Director.  Sounds like a great opportunity, and I'm
betting some Hidden Techies have contacts who would be interested in it.  I
don't know any more than this.  My friend's contact info is at the end of
the posting; she can provide additional detail.

Thanks.

Dan Kirsch


 Executive Director for the Maranyundo Initiative

The Maranyundo Initiative, a Boston-based non-profit organization partnering
with leaders in Rwanda to enrich and improve education for girls in Rwanda,
seeks a Boston- based Executive Director to lead this new and exciting
entrepreneurial venture, provide strategic direction, and direct the
activities in Rwanda and the United States. We are looking for an Executive
Director who works well independently and is excited by the opportunity to
visit and work in Rwanda on a regular basis.

The Maranyundo Initiative is focused on increasing the number of girls in
Rwanda who successfully enroll and complete secondary school, and go on to
some form of higher education. The Maranyundo School, opening in January
2008, will be an independent boarding school for top female students,
located in the Bugesera District, one of the hardest hit regions during
Rwanda's genocide in 1994 and one of the poorest regions in the country. The
school will prepare its students to become leaders in their chosen
professions and support them in their path toward this goal. It will also
offer community education programs including English language classes and
computer training when school is not in session. The Maranyundo School is
under construction and will open for classes in January of 2008. The Teacher
Training Program will be part of the initiative and is being created in
response to great national need to increase the number of quality teachers
in Rwanda. The program will be jointly developed by the new Executive
Director and the Rwandan-American board, in collaboration with key educators
in both countries.

The Executive Director will run the Maranyundo Initiative organization,
provide strategic direction, and oversee the activities in Rwanda and the
U.S. He or she will report to an active Board of Directors and will be
responsible for working collaboratively with constituencies in Rwanda and
the US, forging new partnerships as necessary, and ensuring the Maranyundo
Initiative is meeting its goals of enriching and improving education for
girls in Rwanda, and helping expand the country's pool of talented, capable
women.

If you are interested, please submit a resume and cover letter to Lisa
Tellekson at telleflashes at cs.com <telleflashes%40cs.com>. Lisa will send you
a complete job description.
