Training Meeting No: 20/2012-2013

On 04.03.2013, 1240pm… the VPPR screamed in the office:
OMG!!! Why is there no photo at all in the memory card!!! She asked the SAA to check, then the colleague to check, and at the end, disappointment…

Later that night, the VPPR asked webmaster Wilfred on how to recover photos from the memory card…and the VPPR tried to download free software online. At the end, she fell asleep in front of the laptop…
** She was not sleeping well that night and woke up the next morning feeling blue…**
Not giving up…On 05.03.2013 1pm, she wanted to try again…To her surprise, when she inserted the memory card into her laptop, unbelievably, all the photos appeared in the screen!
**Thankful mode now**
So here comes the highlights of the evening!
