Dili, 24 June 2024, (Média Democrácia) – The student at the Universidade Nacional Timor Lorosa’e (UNTL), Faculty of Management Economics, majoring in Accounting, carried out an activity selling fruit ice between groups on the side of the road to complete the marketing management course in the third semester.
According to the group’s student representative, Natalina da Silva de Jesus, so far the learning process they have been going through for three months and practice for three months to complete the marketing course, therefore in practice they have to create a business selling fruit ice to earn income, after three months finished, they present the results to the lecturer.
“The group consists of five students who can pool money together, each person contributing $10.00 so they can purchase the items needed to make fruit ice to complete the three months course.” Said Natalina da Silva
She continued in groups consisting of four women and one man, totaling five people, but they were also divided into two more groups to make it easier to get money more quickly, because they needed to present at the last time in the marketing management subject, each group had to earn $500.00.
In addition, they sell fruit ice twice or three times a week because in the third semester they take many subjects, every day they have to divide their time well so as not to cause problems in other subjects, even though they face several challenges, they still try to sell fruit ice so it can overtake that subject.
“The fruit ice that we sell always earns from $17.00 to $20.00, we have to walk from Manleuana to Delta, and so it’s easy for people to buy it because if we just sit around sometimes people don’t buy because there are lots of people selling on the side of the road.” She said
Further explained that, students of the Universidade Nacional Timor Lorosa’e through the Faculty of Management Economics, Accounting Department, carry out business practices for three months to complete the marketing course, in addition, for three months they must obtain funds of up to $500.00 to complete to make course report, therefore can present to the lecture, but the money will be divided so that each person will get $100.00 so they can use it to pay for school fees and use for their needs.
