Entrepreunarial skill
Despite experiencing isolation and lack of transportation, the residents of Temple Accommodation are positive for the future. A huge thanks to Francis Alabi and Tanya (The Centre Manager) for helping us organise this workshop and for a warm reception in their accommodation centre. We were delighted to have Maria Flanagan from AnCosan VCC who spoke about AnCosan programmes. The attendees need more knowledge on how to set up business and partnership. Good idea, informative, great discussion, useful information, very encouraging, motivating, and inspiring.
