Yes, I’m a scholar at CARITAS Manila.
To those who don’t know, CARITAS Manila is a religious group or organization that helps people somehow in their basic needs. But it is really a BIG help. And for a student like me, CARITAS Manila helped by giving monthly allowances plus miscellaneous fee.
And what I’m going to share is today’s
Livelihood Program – Entrepreneurship by CARITAS Manila.
It was really a super
simple yet striking discussion. It was discussed by Tita Daisy and Ate Emma.
The main focus of the discussion is
Holiness in Work (Kabanalan sa Paggawa)
There are 2 types of Work
1. Free Service
- A voluntary act. Free of service.
2. Livelihood/Work for Living
- Meaning it is not for free of service anymore, there’s corresponding fee in anything that you do.
The discussion also includes the
small business work. It says there that even though we’re still a student we can start a business on our own. In seminar, here are guidelines in starting a business:
1. Planning
Before doing so, you must plan what business you will start. Best is what business that is close to your heart, it can be your hobby, or what you want to do regularly. And one thing more, also consider in your business if it will also help others.
2. Right Place
Consider where there are lot of customers passes by, and where you can get your materials easily.
3. Costing You should price your products at the right price.
4. Customer Service
You should dwell well at people. You should know how to accompany your customers.
And that’s what I learned for today. Thanks CARITAS Manila! Thanks Tita Daisy and Tita Emma. GOD bless!
