During the past school year many wonderful projects, all represented by items handcrafted by the students themselves, grew and grew until on March 15th the Spring Bazaar was born!
Friends and supporters were invited to attend, refreshments were served, a lovely musical interlude was performed and best of all, the students were all smiles and full of pride as they showcased thier special creations for sale! Their products were made with the help of expert guidance in woodworking, jewelry making, sewing and baking workshops at the school. And sales were indeed brisk. You can only imagine how the students self-esteem levels were raised as a result of the honest and credible feedback of those invited. A portion of the sales proceeds goes back to each student, so that is another good reason for smiling!
We have witnessed a very steady upward trend in the quality and market appeal of the students products. As they continue to learn and improve their craft plans also grow for future business prospects to help each of the students become self-sufficient and independent in their adult life.
