Mentoring Session on Marketing Strategies & Techniques

By Amy Baty-Herbert | Project Leader

The first speaker discussing marketing techniques

Thanks in part to your support, a mentoring session was held on marketing strategies and techniques. The first speaker spoke about some of the techniques she used to have a successful business and the second speaker covered marketing strategies.

The first speaker told them the marketing techniques she applies to have great sales, including making the customers aware of your products or services, engaging them, and helping them make the buying decision. Furthermore, she said that a marketing plan should be part of your business plan for it helps in creating and maintaining demand, relevance, reputation, competition, etc.

The second speaker, a marketing student and also a marketer, told them about the importance of being a marketer and also the good attitude a marketer should have. She said that good marketers are strategic with their time and resources, especially since there are so many different channels, including internet marketing, to use and forms of content to produce. As marketers they are leaders, driving business growth while focusing on data and creativity, balancing multiple channels, and working in a fast-paced environment.

The beneficiaries were excited to learn about marketing techniques and strategies and were all very thankful for the mentoring session and expressed their gratitude for the mentoring session.

FAWE Students Discover the World of Storytelling

By Amy Baty-Herbert | Project Leader

FAWE Student Reading a Book in the Computer Lab

In the FAWE girls’ Computer Lab, students were assigned to read different African storybooks on their computers. The primary focus of the session was to highlight the significance of reading as a means to enhance language skills and expand the student's knowledge.

To start the session, the teacher assigned different stories to the students, ensuring that each student got an opportunity to read aloud. The teacher guided the students on how to use the mouse and keyboard effectively, enabling them to navigate through the stories smoothly.

One by one, the students took turns reading the stories aloud. The teacher encouraged them to speak loudly and clearly so that everyone can follow along and enjoy the tales. The students became more at ease with using the technology and their reading skills improved with each story they shared.

As the students read, they found themselves drawn into the magical world of storytelling, connecting with the characters and their adventures. The interactive nature of the session fostered an environment of collaboration and mutual learning among the students.

The session ended with the teacher expressing gratitude to the students for their enthusiastic participation in the reading activity. Through the use of the Rachel server and the power of storytelling, the students not only enhanced their language abilities but also cultivated a love for reading that will stay with them for a lifetime.

Your generous support continues to impact the girls' education at the FAWE School. We are truly grateful for your generosity. Every dollar donated makes an impact on girls' education.

We warmly invite you to consider setting up a recurring donation to continue girls' education if you haven't already done so. Please also share this with your contacts and invite them to consider supporting this ongoing project.
