Image
#UgBlogWeek starts Monday 19th October, 2015. RT. Pass the message on on fb, g+, insta, LinkedIn, etc. Officials of the Netherlands Embassy in Kampala and the Uganda Investment Authority have entered a partnership to equip Ugandan women entrepreneurs with skills and innovations from their investors in the Netherlands. Twenty two beneficiaries of that Partnership are now in the Netherlands undergoing the training. I must translate two articles to you soon: one about NoPack a shop where you buy food without neylon bags... Just need to bring strong plastic boxes and big bottles with you. My other article is about my casting adventure at Amsterdam central... It was funny.

FREEDOM #15 Empower A Child and #StopChildMarriage

Image
We did it! 'Day of the Girls... Marry only 18+  ‪#‎ stopchildmarriage‬  Our story got picked up by several media sources,  http://t.co/HhINcqNCGh My story: I do a campaign "18+: Ending Child Marriages in Southern Africa" 1 year long, that fights against this problem in Southern Africa and Asia. Why do I do this  campaign ?  Because 14 million children are married off involuntarily worldwide. Being married off is not the biggest problem, because there was once upon a time in the history, a nine-year-old son became king of the country - he got married, although he actually could decide only after the age of 18. I also know many married off educated ladies who are happily married. One of them was engaged for seven years, but the groom had contact with her only by phone. After the acquisition of her PgD she married and now they have a healthy daughter.   Here, in this case, 'involuntarily' is the big problem. Neither at the age...

So it was his blog now, not mine but it is really in my mind:  Strategy to get published? How to organize a press conference in Amsterdam, NL incl. a unique catwalk? I know where... I just must talk to the marketing and PR department video invitation to fashion and female journalists who count DJ Which month is the best to launch a bag brand? february or march?

FASHION #13 Mirror, mirror

I never wanted to look like somebody else... I try to create the best of me every morning when I look in the mirror. But when you look like Elvis Presley, P!nk, Britney Spears or Kim Kardashian you haven't to think about your job as 18-years-old graduated student. Just sign up at a Lookalike Agency and complate bookings for parties or if you can sing for concerts.

FREEDOM #12 A gift

"Marriage must be a strong friendship, respect and love for each other, same sense of humour, same or similar interests and 2 souls who are mates and 2 brains who lift each others up.  Then a child is a  ‪#‎ gift‬ ." -szb ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ My 3th portfolio is comleted! I am happy to show you the pictures next week! My feelings about child marriage are... mixed. How can we stop it? - early pregnency - no food and cloths for every child, baby (sister or brother) is on the way - villages has less school, no female teachers - bus trip to the city is not safe for a 14 years old Asian girl - marriage creates respect for the girl from others BUT they forget the health consequenties of early marriage otherwise THEY stop the wedding. - early pregnency >>> PREVENTION/ INFORMATION BY LOCAL POLITICI/ NURSES - no food and cloths every child, baby (sister or brother) is on the way >>> CONTACT...

FASHION #10 Inspiring stories at DS Fashion Week

Image
It was a magical evening tonight... Thanks for Cécile Scheele and for the wonderful models. On 6 October, 4:37PM. came an invitation to my mailbox to the Dutch Sustainable  Fashion Week. It crossed my mind how many Dutch designers out there are as crazy as I am and they want to make the world more beautiful. 150 stores taking part in the action, and this time we are not talking about the biggest companies who push advertisings in our faces and our grandmothers learn their names in no time, but 150 businesses, for which you need to use sometimes a list (or application) to remember the name. But as soon you wear their clothes, their names never go out of your mind because you find yourself to always buy them. The fashion week takes 10 days and if you need information just feel free to ask it HERE: https://www.facebook.com/inspiringstoriesdsfw?fref=ts I'll be honest. The textile factory issue in Bangladesh made me quite frustrated... When this happened, it was in my min...

FINANCE #9 Linked to the Amsterdam Capital Week

Image
The Impact Expedition (between October 22th and 28th) is closely linked to the Amsterdam Capital Week event serie and aims to build a lasting relationship between the startups in Nairobi and in Amsterdam. It seems both sides are profiting from it: the Kenyans meet Dutch investors and share their experiences with Dutch entrepreneurs. Does your mom understand it too? To be successful, you have to be a good talker (and listener). Ingredients are very universal. 1. Which problem does your product or service solve? (Less packages / bags on holiday or everyday.) 2. Why are you the person who...? (I think outside of the box and I am glad to step out of my comfort zone.) 3. Image is important. You and your pitch must be likable (in Facebook language: Like us). (The pitch is okay, proof is the Fiets- en wandelbeurs 2015 - Cycling- and WalkFair 2015.) 4. Keep it simple ( Does your mom understand it too? ). (I strive for simplicity, but as I go forward, I'm getting better in ...
