8-12 July 2013
Typing reports of the previous projects.
Staff briefing.
To attend a briefing at National Associations of Non Governmental Organisations (NANGO).
This was my first day at work.
Typing reports enabled me to be up to date with the organisations activities and it also helped me understand what the organisation was all about.
The staff meeting also helped me to know more about the organisation’s projects, project areas and what their achievements were so far.
I was not able to attend the briefing due to it being postponed.

15-19 July 2013
Attending a four day Entrepreneurial/Starting your own business workshop in Chitsanga Hall in Chiredzi for the youth.
This project was helpful in capacity building for the youth. It has since been realised that the youth have a high rate of unemployment thus this project was to equip the youth with entrepreneurial skills that would enable them to start their own projects that would generate income.
Also due to the power imbalances between the youth and the elders of the community, saw the need for the organisation to initiate this project. The elders are not ready to step down from position to pave way for the next generation, thus there is need for the youth to start their own projects.
