British Council article

LinkedIn Connection request from Rachel Rooke for a British Council project
Good afternoon Albert.
My name is Rachel. I’m a freelance writer who is creating some content for the British Council to engage international UK alumni.
I read your profile on the British Council award site and wondered whether we could connect on LinkedIn.
Over the next couple of weeks, I am writing some articles and I would really like some first-hand insight from international UK alumni. I think that this would inspire the next generation. One of the articles is about disruptive business models – what is a successful entrepreneur? How do you identify tomorrows product / success story. As you are the co-founder of hapaSpace, after realising your community lacked a space to provide mentoring and encourage start-up ideas, I thought of you Your profile says you have supported over 1,000 budding entrepreneurs and set up the Code4Girls initiative, which has trained over 1,200 girls in computer programming. This is amazing and I'd love to talk to you. If possible, I’d hope to arrange an MS Teams call week commencing 11 April?
Many thanks for your time and I look forward to hearing from you.
Best wishes, Rachel
