Following the Chinese proverb that says "Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day. Teach a man how to fish and you feed him for a lifetime" two society based organizations; the Sabrin connection and the Jebel Association, an connection of habitancy Living with Aids (Pla) in Western Bahr Ghazal State gathered at Africana Hotel in Wau for one week between September 30th-October, 5th, 2010 and were trained on Small enterprise enterprise development, wage Generating activities and enterprise administration and report holding and.
