Imibuzo Ejwayelekile Ukubuzwa

  • Kungani kunenselelo yezinsuku ezingama-30?

    Inselele Yezinsuku Ezingu-30 yathuthukiswa Ithimba lethu ngokusekelwe kokuhlangenwe nakho kwethu ukusebenza nemiphakathi. Sifunde ukuthi amasonto okuqala abalulekile ukwakha umfutho futhi siqale kahle nganoma iyiphi iphrojekthi yomphakathi. Amaqembu aqeda lezi zinyathelo phakathi nenyanga yokuqala maningi amathuba okuthi aqedele iphrojekthi yawo ngempumelelo!

    Inselele iwuchungechunge lwezinyathelo ezilula umfakisicelo ngamunye okufanele azigcwalise ukuze asuse iphrojekthi yakhe futhi avule uxhaso. , uma kukhona uxhaso olutholakalayo njengamanje lwalowo mbono endaweni yangakini. Izinyathelo zihlanganisa ukubuka ividiyo kanye/noma ukufunda okuqukethwe, ukuba nocingo nelungu leqembu le-ChangeX, ukwakha iqembu ukuze uthole ukwesekwa, ukuba nomhlangano wakho wokuqala weqembu, ukwabelana ngesithombe seqembu, nokwabelana ngohlelo lokusebenza lwephrojekthi.

  • Uxhaso lungasetshenziselwa ini?

    Uma uxhaso selutholakele lungasetshenziswa ukumboza izindleko zokusetha eziqondile zephrojekthi entsha yomphakathi. Isibonelo sokuqashisa indawo, izimali zomshwalense, imbewu nezinto zokutshala, amathuluzi, izimali zokuqeqesha; cishe noma yiziphi izinto ongase uzidinge kuphrojekthi ezuzisa umphakathi wakini.

    Izimali azikwazi ukusetshenziselwa izindleko zomsebenzi osewenziwe kakade, izindleko ezingahlobene nokusetha nokugcinwa kwephrojekthi entsha, izinkokhelo kumalungu eqembu ngomsebenzi wawo kuphrojekthi. Izimali azikwazi ukusetshenziselwa ukuphromotha izizathu zenkolo, imisebenzi engasizi, uxhaso noma imicimbi yokuqongelela imali. Sicela ufunde imigomo nemibandela ukuze uthole imininingwane eyengeziwe.

  • Ngazi kanjani ukuthi kukhona uxhaso olutholakalayo?
    Emakhasini emibono, uma kukhona uxhaso olutholakalayo lombono endaweni yangakini uzobona “Uxhaso luyatholakala” kanye nesifunda esohlwini ibhokisi eli-turquoise. Uma ungena ngemvume okokuqala futhi uzobona isibhengezo esiluhlaza phezulu esikrinini esithi “izimali ezibukhoma eduze kwakho” uma kukhona uxhaso olutholakala endaweni yangakini. Ikhasi eliyisiqalo le-ChangeX lizoba nalezo zimali ezibukhoma eziseduze nawe.

    Inothi ohlwini lokulinda: lapho lonke uxhaso lwabelwe abafake izicelo, abafake izicelo abasha bazongena ohlwini lokulinda. Uma abanye abafake izicelo abasesikhwameni bengayiqedi ngempumelelo Inselelo Yezinsuku Eziwu-30 uxhaso lwabo luzokhishwa bese lunikezwa labo abasohlwini lokulinda. Ukuze ubone ukuthi uyangena yini ohlwini lokulinda hlola ikhasi lesikhwama esikhulu, imibono eyabelwe ngokugcwele izoba nenothi elithi “Joyina uhlu lokulinda” esikhundleni sokuthi “Faka isicelo ukuze uqale”.

  • Yini i-ChangeX?
