Good day everyone, today we have a very important announcement to make that we believe would be very beneficial to everyone of us at Hive Learners,  but before we go into the big announcement,  we would like to first of all inform you guys that due to some certain changes, the Stage 02 Learning program would no longer continue and the reason for that would be made known to you guys in a minute.

First of all, we want to acknowledge the fact that a lot of members had participated our learning stage and we know how much the stage 02 tutorial has helped a lot of you and we’re very grateful that you guys made sure to do all of the tasks that came with the stage 02 tutorial. This new development & adjustment doesn’t mean we won’t support the stage 02 post that has already been made in our community (all of them would be supported). We will publish full and complete list of Learning Stage 02's participants soon.  But, If you haven’t made a post on stage 02 yet then it’s fine, we invite you to participate in Newbies Initiative Program (Program Details are explained below)
