Greetings to this wonderful community, the members, trusted local guides and shoppers hold the team of this project on high esteem, the rapid response they give immediately there is an issue to settle shouldn't just be overlooked, that is a proof of commitment for the #spendhbd project.

Just the three to four hours I participated in a workshop yesterday I really came to admire the task @sagarkothari88 and @starkerz and other teams do at the background.
And thats why we have increased growth on the project.

## The listing, onboarding and workshop.

The trusted local guide meet with @hubmore a very big supermarket located at No 22 Enitan street Aguda Surulere, She introduced spendhbd to her and how she will benefit from the project, she has lots of customers who purchase most of her goods in higher quantities, some buy to resell in their little shops, after a long conversation she accepted to list her shop.

Her shop was listed by our trusted local guide, then she agreed on getting some of her customers for onboarding and shopping.
The trusted local guide as well went to meet with another listed shop who also gave customers to onboard so it was like we hosted workshop in two different shops.

## During the workshop 
The motive of this program is to educate customers and shop owners more about how they can use hbd transactions for whatever the buy on daily basis, especially here where most people have little knowledge on crypto transactions.
That took some hours, because everyone in the attendant had lots of questions to ask.
The usal questions of how do I withdraw? When will the project close down? Ist not a scam?

The Trusted local guide gave a break down of everything and every question, funny aspect some said that they want to withdraw their first income in the local currency and the local guide didn't dispute that.
They were surprised to see that you can shop and buy your groceries and household items with a coin known as hbd which is a digital currency.

She onboarded 4 new users, and 2 Old users also came around to shop in the new listed shop.

She used the checkingwith.xyz and paid 3 hive for each account.

They all took selfies to prove they are real humans and they got 2 hbd instant and some other tokens.
They decided to add some money and make their first transaction to confirm if this was really.
The trusted local guide provided additional hbd for there first shopping.

> ## The attraction.

While onboarding there was a little challenge and she reached out to the spendhbd team, few seconds @sagarkothari88 responded immediately and gave directions that made everything smooth.
So those who came for the workshop were motivated by that.

## More lessons 

The Trusted local guide also showed them how to convert there funds using @ezafund if they want to, because this helps them to see how decentralized this project is.


Yesterday was fun, and with the countenance of the supermarket owner, she will introduce hbd to every of her customers and more will get onboarded.

> A total of 56hbd was spent @hubmore just that yesterday and that was a good start.

We recognize the spendhbd team and their hard work, thank you all.
