Seminar on Entrepreneurship as a catalyst of Development
This was a really good opportunity to learn about how we can grow our Venture. We had successful Entrepreneurs from RD that sharing their experiences of Failures. We learned about managing your market with your product in a very innovative way from idea to the client.
One of the most important things I learned, was, the Branding of your company: How to present your products and social goods to the Public, Social media management and collaboration with other organization that have common goals with yours.
I had the opportunity to meet and exchange YLAI Alumni 2017& 2018, alumni Fulbright, US Embassy Representant and create good connections for some future interesting project. (fig 3)

The most important thing, the YLAI opportunity and this Seminar, with the idea of sustainable solution, accelerate a lot a new program (Bamboo Reforestation) through Bambou Facile that will allow us to stay sustainable and having a lot of positives impact in our environment.
This opportunity really accelerates the reforestation Bamboo program (Fig 4) that we recently inserted in Bambou Facile that we would like the US Embassy to support us in the Benefit of the community.
