Rubina at her computer class
Rubina Chand Patel, Aged 17
"Before joining the computer class in Vishrantwadi, I didn't know anything about computers. They were very new to me and I felt that I'd never be able to learn. There was a real fear in my mind, but after starting to learn that fear ceased.
I feel that I'm learning a new skill that is very important and helpful for my future life.
I wish to learn more in the advance course".

'I am very happy now'
By Jilna Shah | Project Leader
Shilpa's Story - aged 20 years
Once there was a survey in my community. Through that survey I have came to know about this class. I have decided to join the class and to learn the sewing skills. I left the school in 6th STD and after that did not join any course. But now I have completed the course successfully. The course has build confidence in me. I learn different types of blouse and Panjabi suits. I have started taking orders from outside and earn money from it. My brother gave me money to buy a secondhand machine. I am very happy now. After my marriage also I will keep on stitching the blouse and dresses.
I am very thankful to your project and giving me the skills and confidence to be independent.
