Help African Book trust with 3 volunteers for estimating the volume of book sales in Joburg CBD
Here's a little more info about this opportunity...
The Johannesburg CBD has 71 booksellers within just three square kilometers. Most operate informally, but we're trying to find ways to link them to the mainstream publishing market and the larger economy. To do that, we need to estimate their sales so that we take next steps on activities like linking them to payment systems or other financial services. We're not sure how to begin, so we need experts who can guide us on how to collect the data samples and how to analyze it

Helpful tips
Stay safe
- 1. Don’t pass any personal information to people you haven’t met offline before.
- 2. When meeting one of your contacts offline for the first time, always be sure to arrange to meet in a public place.
- 3. Make sure that you are not left alone with someone that you have never met before.
- 4. Know where you’re going. If you’re headed off the beaten track or into an unfamiliar part of town, be sure you have directions and a GPS or map book.
- 5. If you feel unsafe, consult the person in charge and let him or her know.
- 6. Avoid wearing expensive jewellery: it could get damaged, lost or stolen.
- 7. Ask, ask, ask! If you’re worried about something or concerned about your safety in a certain situation, ask the person in charge.
