CHALLENGES: 23rd of June when the new management took over, some services like Photography, Video Shooting and the DSTV had to be stopped with the following reasons.REASONSVideo shooting had a very good market and it even provided Dickens an opportunity to go on a Helicopter with the Kenyan Ministers but due to lack of a good program and computer to Edit our coverage, we could not complete the work on time. Because of the Social part of our Business we did not want to lose our name with our customers so we had to stop until we get the right equipments to help us through this.These services are stopped just for some time while we work on a better way forward.Video camera Standing at the WYSE office, one of the stopped services.Photo By; Dickens WYSE.

Photography had a good market, too, but again the challenge we faced was having a photo printer that works. We have a donated printer for photography business but we do not have its power cord.Many people loved programs in DSTV and mostly football matches. They love this even better when they watch on LCD Projector screen, but the challenge here was that the projector could not show very clear during the day time it needed more darkness than how our Movie room is at the moment. For the above reasons the DSTV could not raise $82.20 USD for its monthly line subscription fee.CHALLENGES: ContinuedOur Canon photo printer still pending in the office because of power cable.Photo By Dickens, WYSE.The DSTV signal behind our office building kept on hold for new plans.Photo By Dickens, WYSE.

WYSE introduced a community Library with a few books donated by the Duke University students during their visit in Muhuru-Bay.Customer care service, an office suggestion box, and an HIV/AIDS question box were introduced as new services for our customers and for the community to know more about AIDS and improve of customer service.We also got one volunteer, Laurence Ochieng, who is assisting in computer training, care and maintenance service.We introduced basic computer programming to Muhuru-Bay Secondary schools at a very affordable price as part of the social benefit initiative. Addah checking suggestion box and HIV/AIDS question box, she does this everyday.Charles taking records of books in the LIBRARY, he is in charge of this newly introduced service.Anne has to check office files everyday and give them to the Manager to approve.Laurence WYSE volunteer checking DELL laptop we use in the office.
