World Rhino Day 22 September

"Rhino horn is not a medicine". yesterday was world rhino day, a day which is dedicated to make the world aware of the killing of rhinos every year for their horns. "Raising public awareness about the illegal trade in Rhino horn and global rhino conservation issues". You might be asking yourself why I write about rhino day how it connects fedhasa youth. Rhino is part of the big five and also part of our heritage. Tourists spend a lot of money to visit our country and see the big five. If we do not do anything to fight Rhino poaching it is going to affect us in the Hospitality and Tourism Industry because if we do not have the big five few people are going to visit our country. What will happen then, what are we going to do what will make us unique from the rest of the world then.

 The rhinos need to be conserved for the future generation and also to ensure that we always the big five. Let’s do it for our Industry and for the future generation. You do not want to wake up tomorrow only to find out that we are left with the big four and that one of the big five has become extinct. It is your responsibility and my responsibility to ensure that the we conserve the Rhinos and prevent Rhino poaching.

If you know someone who is selling the rhino horns report it, because by keeping quite you’re taking part in killing our heritage.

How To Network

Attending a networking event is not enough to make yourself known. It is important that you make your mark. This doesn't necessarily mean you have to make grand entrance or something spectacular, all it means is that you have to make sure that whenever you open your mouth to speak make sure that every word is valuable.

Everyone wants to be remembered in a good way. When you introduce yourself do so professionally. Don't talk without a full stop or without giving the other person a chance to talk. Most people do not like a person who speaks nonstop like a radio. Small talks can make a lasting impact for you; every conversation is begun with a small talk.

The most important part of the networking event getting the business cards of the people you meet at the event. The volume of the business cards is not important what is important is the impact you made to the people you spoke with. It is better to have two business cards of people who will remember you than having twenty of the people who do not remember you.

Your exit is as important as entrance. After you had your talk with the person met at the event make sure you leave on good terms. If you the conversation is not of your interest rather make a good excuse to exit than just leaving without saying a word.
