On June 11th VOH Kitwe held its 2nd Annual Business Expo for their high school students.
During the Expo, students are placed in small groups and visit each of the booths, all of which display various small business ideas.
The booths showcase:
- Metal bending
- Popcorn making
- Sewing and Knitting
With four new booths this year:
- Jewelry making
- Electronics
- Baking
- Conventional block making
After the students have seen a business idea demonstrated then get a chance to try it for themselves. Once the students have visited every booth, they gather together, ask questions, and offer feedback.
It was a successful and fun time, and the feedback was all very positive. All of the students raised their hands to the question “How many of you would like to take up one of these skills and make a living for yourselves?” and over the time of the Expo many students commented:
“We children of VOH school are blessed to have this opportunity, other schools do not run these type of programs.”
Here are some photos from the event:
