He was attentive to detail, arrived on time, and had excellent communication skills - able to not only translate but also build trust with the women we worked with. In addition, Mohamed was able to bring his own experience and knowledge as an online freelancing entrepreneur to the training as he was able to understand the material being taught and the objectives of the training. This awareness made his services at a very high level. Mohamed also translated written Somali to English and English to Somali to a good level. We were very happy to work with Mohamed and would definitely recommend him and work with him again.'' Thank you for your support! Excellent, amazing freelancer.
