Individual endorsement
Excellent. His capacity to learn with respect to new software, is the same learning curve that he will have employed with "life issues," as well. I know this from my very positive experiences with respect to his character. Abu is a fine young man. Perhaps from his humility, he did not list everything that he learned, including the application of the languages app..

Development of 4 Websites (Students select which one to work on)
My company, Global Alternative Investments, is a financial services firm that has two broken websites that need to be rebuilt. The sites were created in WordPress and are to be rebuilt in the same fashion. One of the brand new sites relates to the marketing of a book The structure of the site, including all of the text, was created before the work was lost by regrettable mishap, though the text exists and everything is fresh in my own memory on how to recreate the book's site. Requisite competencies include the need to be able to work with translation software and, preferably, though not necessarily, book cover design. The fourth site will also be transactional and include a video instruction on how to remove a "level-10" migraine, as I call it.
