During the past week which my activities (post and engagement) on hive reduce drastically due to my poor state of health, which is now gradually improving all thanks to God, a man who stay in the vicinity of the community where my store is located came to my store alongside his 11year old son, and ask that I should please train his son the nook and cranny of Shoemaking.

I actually first made an enquiry about the boys education, because I felt that's the best gift a parent can gift their children, and he said he's a student in his junior secondary class 2, and that he won't be resuming until after he as close from school in the afternoon, so after we discuss and agree on the fee and amount of years he'll be using for the training, they sign the necessary documents and they boy said he's willing to start his training that very day.

With his level of passion and dedication, I realize he was the one who chose the path himself, even though his dad wanted him to learn vehicle repairing mechanic, am excited his dad allow him to follow his passion.

So he usually arrive at the store after school each day, and after a week of learning and observing all what I've done, I gave him a test by asking him to make a key holder in the shape of a Slippers with some left over material.

***Below are some of the process of how he made the key holder, so I only observe and take pictures, because I already vow not to correct him even though he made mistake along the line, but that I'll once he got through with the project.***
  • So he first cut he parts needed for the upper of the project.
