Lately, I have been working on helping others gain knowledge and skills in Business and Entrepreneurship. I recently attended a six-day workshop in Kampala that was supported by the United Nations Conference for Trade and Development (UNCTAD) and focused on youth entrepreneurship. At the workshop, I was one of\u00a035<\/strong>\u00a0young entrepreneurs that received training in business management, on how to create entrepreneurial opportunities, and how to design business plans. The process to secure a place in the workshop was very competitive and I had to undergo an interview process that drew over\u00a0250<\/strong>\u00a0other youth applicants. But thanks to my training with WPDI, I was able to succeed in my interview and be selected to represent the Kiryandongo Refugee Settlement.<\/p>\n With the new tools I developed during the conference, I plan to both enhance my own business and help others at the settlement improve their businesses. I will be a persistent, committed, and motivated peacemaker and help my community take action to become better.<\/p>\n
