Hello subscriber subscriber,

Jacana started guiding the three selected ladies.

Hilda, Lodge manager

Hilda started the computer training offered by Jacana very enthusiastic and discovers the possibilities of a computer.

Together with the staff of the Lodge, Jacana designed a billboard to attract more customers.

Ireen, Wedding planner

Ireen started to implement a practical stock keeping system, because she wants to open a second branch in Livingstone. She needs to be updated about all sells and items that are hired out in both shops.

Staff of Ireen trained in using Stock Cards

Mirriam, Tailor

A simple flyer is designed for Mirriam to distribute to different people in her surroundings. The name of her tailor shop is: “Mimi’s Tailor Shop”. Last week Mirriam got a big order to sew school uniforms.

For the first time in her life Mirriam registers her incomings and outgoings. At the end of October the profit and loss balance was made.

And what do you think.......she made a Profit.
