week 7: Client #2

Unfortunately the strike didn't subside over the weekend and we were forced to confront delaying the trip once again. The strike was now at 250,000 people and was impacting the national economy. Reports were coming in that this strike might last longer than the last big one this country saw which involved the platinum mining industry and lasted 5 months. With that insight we discussed our options with the client and decided to delay the trip until October which meant I wouldn't be involved. It was disappointing but unforeseen circumstances like that take the decision out of your hands. I instead began my work on updating the commerce departments databases on sustainable energy contracts in the country. That project would go on for a few weeks as part of a series of things I was tasked with completing before my internship ended.
