Children need creative and innovative skills to unblock this potential and create jobs and wealth without depending on others. Yes our community can grow from bamboo.
Children will be trained on how to use bamboo in a creative and innovative way to produce craft needed in the community. The production of these crafwork will force them to think in meeting community needs and creating external markets for their crafts.
