A Day to Remember

At the LOBI station, 22 fishers, mainly fisherwomen and teenagers, engaged with LOBI during the Buffeljag Fun Day. Five new sign-ups occurred on the day, with an additional three in the days following the event. Sweets on the LOBI station table caught everyone's attention, especially the children. Explaining LOBI options tailored to individuals' interests proved efficient, given the crowded station. Challenges included fishers not having their mobile phones and data issues.

Future improvements will include:

• Better planning to address these challenges;
• Providing larger posters,
• Reminding fishers to bring their phones; and
• Distributing leaflets in communities to encourage sign-ups.

Overall, the flexible structure and improvisation were effective.
