Sr. Marie Louise also mentioned how the school is always encouraged to participate in a variety of other activities such as fairs and exhibitions supported by Eco-Emploi, the most notable being the German Christmas Market 2017. The market presented a huge opportunity to grow and create linkages with other companies. She describes how the schools participation led to a tremendous impact in terms of learning and sales.  “The event was not only a great chance for us to make our products known, but also to expand our market. We were very grateful for the advice we received from the programme. They visited us early on ahead of the event and provided guidance on product development, explaining the types of products that could sell well, so we produced accordingly. We sold all our stock with a return of 600,000 RWF in the two-days’ event and obtained four orders from new customers.” The event also led to RTSS immediately receiving an invitation to participate in the AIC Christmas Bazaar held at the Convention Centre in Kigali. With the experience garnered from the German Christmas Market, the school increased their stock with beautiful portable Christmas items and their sales doubled in the AIC Christmas Bazaar. By the end of the festival season, RTSS registered higher benefits than ever before and the production unit gained more knowledge of market requirements while gathering a remarkable experience.
