As indicated in the last report,we were looking forward to impact a new group of ladies providing them the tools to initiate a productive entreprenurial initiative.
For years, our organization has been working with an elementary, middle and high school institution aimed to serve a deaf population. Some mothers whose children are attending this school remain in the facililties along the day waiting for their kids and youngsters to complete their daily journey. After some time, they have created a group of knitting mothers, who dedicate this time to knitt, producing wonderful knitted pieces they do not know how to sell or deliver to the market. This situation made us think on offering them entrepreneurial education for them to organize and create diverse knitting activities and understand how to convert their abilities in productive small companies for them to solve their livelihoods.
Counting in advance with donations we are expecting to receive through this semester we expect to soon initiate the new program. Along this week we have prepared volunteers who will be delivering the classes. We assume classes will extend for two months so our ladies will be ready to repsent their products in an "entreprenurial fair" and be ready for some celebrations as "Mother's Day" to sell their products.
Thanks to our donors we still have this program available for those women in need. Expectations are to reach about 15 young women attending this new training.
Thanks again to help us better serve the communities where we work.
