Kano Location Group Holds First Planning Meeting

The meeting started at exactly 1:02pm with personal introduction of selves. Tomisin was the moderator for the meeting.
Mr. Babatunde spoke about SI4DEV and says, it is a platform to leverage on if you have the passion to assist your comunity by providing solutions to problems in your comunity and it calls for alot of sacrifice and commitment. All NGOs started this way, and at the begining it is all about the passion not the gains. Among other things we can do, we can discover a deficiency in a particular sector of the economy, we train then rightly then issue them certificate of attendance.
For now our motive is not on how to make money, because that will be a wrong motive, But the passion must come first to serve humanity is not about money, we discover the problems source for Funders who are interested in what we are doing, Then we can kick off with the Project.
Mr. Babatunde also says, We need to come up with great ideas, ideas that will meet needs in our communities, areas e.t.c
The vision was read to the members present and how it can be beneficial to all read by Mr. Babatunde.
