The aims to:
•Make new
acquaintances or kinship as this
event requires communication
and dealings.
•Build confidence and entrepreneurial
skills to participants.

generate an extra income.
•Though investment is from your
pocket, its source of profit (rental fees
and wider range of customers to actual
sellers) is much bigger. Thus,
participation of this event is not
something that one should decide. It is
an opportunity to grab.
