Being a weekend our community normally have several meeting, right from religion to community development meetings. I attended one of the community development meetings so that I could awareness. Attendees were both guardians and the youths. I was allowed to share about the Ajira program and the upcoming meeting and youths are waiting for the training. The afternoon of Saturday I had a meeting with two primary teachers who got interested in the online work and wished to know more about Ajira.

Mucina one of our colleagues did a mock presentation about the AYEC. He has managed the center for some years and he was sharing the experience. I also researched on SEO and KPIs. Most of the clients are looking for experts in this field to help them make their website and blogs a racked top.

Researching for Fivver Gigs. Yesterday I did an assessment test and I’m happy i did well. Today i was exploring more on Fivver and will I’ll be getting some gigs.
I’ll be attending the “Mentor TOT workshop” from 2 pm. T expecting to learn a lot. I want to be a good mentor, change someone the lives of youths, and achieve the goals set as a mentor.
Challenges
A lot of pressure from friends in need of the training, some are even requesting if I can train them. It was also a bad week for all of us as eMobilis Family for losing our colleague.
Conclusion
The week has been very busy. We did a lot of practice and I was able to complete building my profile, did assessment tests, and start bidding.
Recommendation
I recommend that we have more training to equip us with more knowledge.
