Stability, Growth, and New Horizons : 2024

In 2024, Spencer Cooper, an IT specialist at MCSS, became the stabilizing force that Jetrowebster needed After Jeff Elkner and Mr. Zawolo returned to the U.S., Spencer stepped in to lead the team, providing both guidance and a secure location for their operations. His leadership ensured that the co-op survived a critical transition period, maintaining momentum until the program achieved official registration in Liberia. Spencer's commitment brought structure, continuity, and a safe space for members to grow and experiment. That same year, Jelkner arrived in Liberia and was hosted at Spencer's residence, allowing for closer collaboration, mentorship, and strengthened team cohesion. Spencer also attended PyCon Africa in Ghana, gaining fresh insights into global tech trends and bringing back inspiration for the team's projects.

The members continued to expand their technical and academic skills. Daniel and Shallon enrolled at UoPeople, studying Business Administration, while also learning bookkeeping under Jeff's remote guidance from the U.S. Thomas and Gabriel pursued Computer Science at UoPeople. Janet and Freena focused on learning HTML5 and Decidim, strengthening their web development and civic engagement platform skills. Mulbah continued to deepen his expertise in system administration, ensuring the team's infrastructure remained robust and secure. With Spencer's steady leadership, Jelkner's mentorship, and the members ongoing learning-both locally and online. 2024 became a year marked by resilience, growth, and the broadening of horizons. Jetrowebster not only survived its critical transition but also laid the foundation for a highly skilled, versatile, and ambitious team ready to make an impact in Liberia's tech ecosystem.
