On a personal note:

I had taken up an opportunity work in Sudan and enhance my baking skills by learning about

traditional breads and overseeing their baking plant. In order to grow within myself as well, I took

up a challenge to learn in an environment that was weather demanding, culturally different and

working with more traditional methods.

I absolutely love my experience in Sudan and took the demands by the horns, feeling victorious

over that knowledge I gained and value I added to the bakery plant and DAL Group.

I have trained staff and overcome the language barriers and respected and embraced the

Sudanese people.

I have successfully implemented new systems like lean production systems, QMS, helped develop

a SAP system for the Commercial Bakery, was involved in product development & launches in the

market for a local products called Kisra, Rugag as well as 3 flavors of bar cakes.

My time spent in Sudan is priceless.
