Quotes;

"Even if you graduate from high school, learning never ends. Every day, we learn from a variety of sources that either confirms, updates, or disprove the knowledge we already have." - Wilson Masaka, Youth Advocate and Social Entrepreneur

"Being a lifelong learner and mastering the skill of self-learning (SL) are requirements for everyone who wants to get better at what they do." - Wilson Masaka, Youth Advocate and Social Entrepreneur

The Target

By the end of December 2023, I hope to have trained at least 1000 young people. Never hesitate to send me an invitation for a quote if you require a youth trainer or facilitator. I'm an expert in graphic design, blogging, creative writing, photography, social media, training trainers, facilitation, and the production of digital content, among other things.
