Experiential

My co workers and I have a healthy working relationship and i like the fact that they are so guiding on the things i do not understand. Through my work i have learnt to work with people of various attitudes and personalities. I enjoy helping people with knowledge on how to run sustainable cooperatives. The most challenging part is when they think that once they are registered they are entitled to some funding.

Pros: There is a great opportunity to get a job after my internship with the great experience i have been given
Cons: the inability sometimes to make people understand that cooperatives are also a form of business and are not only meant for uneducated people
