Sewing Center 2

The center continues to grow as the need for training girls and boys for a career in sewing grows. I was so surprised to see a second sewing room (training room) with 14 machines in addition to the 10 machines in the main sewing center.

We now have 11 students that started in February. This is so important to the future of these youth.

Clementine, 14 years finished Grade 6.
Janette 16 years finished Grade 6.
Antoinette 21 years finished Grade 7.
Rose 23 years finished Grade 11.
Isabelle 17 years finished Grade 6.
Marina 20 years finished 12th grade.
Reticia 25 years finished Grade 11.
janette 20 years finished Grade 9.
Medeatrice 20 years finished Grade 11.
Christian 29 years finished Grade 12. She has 1 child and has taken in an orphan.
Alice 30 years finished Grade 12 and has two children.

It was a privilege to speak with them and have them share that they are thrilled to be in class. They did ask to have English classes so I will look into that.

*****Thank you to Amy Frank, founder of The Makery in State College, PA for sponsoring a sewing machine. It is the one 14 year old Clementine uses.
