Today is the graduation ceremony of entrepreneurship programme. As a lecturer, I was there at the ceremony also. I was glad to see almost all of my students there. Let me brief you Entrepreneurship programme first. After the trip in the slum, we found out that people are starving, on the brink of starvation or can’t afford tuition for their children even though they’ve tried hard to run their own business. The reason is that they don’t have knowledge about business and they don’t have financial support. Therefore, three of us, Phoebe from UK, Seth from Netherlands and I from Taiwan, decided to launch Entrepreneurship programme in the slum, teaching people the basic knowledge about how to run their business, including entrepreneurship, setting up the business idea, marketing, advertising, and cash flow. After that, we gave them the template of business plan and asked them to fill in their business idea. After that, we asked some people who are well-experienced on microfinance to revise business plans. Right now we are looking for the bank and other microfinancial organization to give them loan or money to start their own business. I believe that only the knowledge and the financial support could empower the people in the slum to make their life better.
At the graduation ceremony, I got a lot of positive feedback from students and other social workers. Many of them wanted to take the photos with me and said ‘May, you will be here with us, right? You know we need your help.’ ‘I’ve been to your class and I think u really did a good job.’
Right now we are moving forward to another new start of entrepreneurship programme, making it more organized. We are doing the manual of the programme and trying to approach more externals to get the financial support. On the other hand, we help the graduates to start their own business by arranging counseling with well-experienced businessmen.
I am happy to see the students learn and grow up from the entrepreneurship programme. Their success will be my pleasure. I still have about four weeks to go and I will try my best to help them!! I hope to leave something valuable for people here and make people’s life better. This is my goal of my internship!
