Developments

Learning a new skill is great and the women's skills department at BRiCC (www.briccjos.com) is excellent at teaching women how to make all kinds of food and cosmetics.  Using that skill to start a business can be a little harder and that's where our new venture comes in.  Next Wednesday we plan to open Cafe BRiCC just outside the gates of the BRiCC offices.  It'll be nothing fancy - we'd rather start small and do it well before expanding, but the ladies who were given the opportunity to be involved are already excited.  As one of them said, she's tried starting a business but had a few problems.  At Cafe BRiCC she'll be able to learn more and get support from Madam Veronica and her friends.  The idea is to have two different women on duty each day, one Christian, one Muslim; one a recent student, one who graduated longer ago. They'll learn from each other and show the community how people of different religions can work together and have fun as well as providing a quality product.  The women will have the opportunity to show off what they can do and take private orders to build up their own businesses.  We won't be setting up in competition to the exisiting food places nearby as the menu at Cafe BRiCC will be very different.  Hopefully there'll be winners all round.

Planning

If anyone wants to help with the startup costs of the cafe please let me know.
