Last week, Sharon and five pastors wives set up a Nkateko stall at the prestigious 'Joaqium Chissano' Conference Centre in Maputo. This was a new experience for everyone. They had the privilege of exhibiting their creative craft products which is something that cannot be taken for granted. They sold 44 items over 2 days with a gross income of 10,500mts (approx. £210).
Before the event, our missionary colleague, brother Paulo, provided valuable orientation/training for the ladies about what to expect, how to present oneself with tips about how to encourage people to buy. The Conference was entitled 'Global Issues Service Summit' with 200 - 300 participants from many International Schools across Africa. Several of the OMS CAM School Students were in attendance.
Praise God that this event has helped raise the profile of Naketko and we trust will provide leads to other sale opportunities. The ladies are preparing for two end-of-term school events on 9th and 16th May. We really want these ladies to market their creations locally. Pray that the ladies will continue to learn from each experience and be able to critique their products to suit their clientele.
