Thank you very much for your support of the 20th Tamar Vocational and Life Training. On Friday the 10th of August we celebrated the Graduation from this years Training. Six women left prostitution behind and joined the training that started on the 18th of May and I am very happy to report that all six of them have graduated! This is actually the first time in seven years that everybody that started also finished the training!
And not only that – all six of them are doing very well and continue to go strong. None of them is leaving Tamar Center but all of them have asked if they could stay on and so we will employ them in our businesses from next week onwards. But first they have a break over a long weekend to celebrate themselves and to rest after these twelve weeks of training.
From the six women, three trained in the Restaurant/Bakery, two in the Hair Salon and one studied sewing and learned to sew bags, scarves, headbands and other items. They have done very well, and we are very proud of them! They learned not only about these jobs but also learned how to deal with finances, how deal with family and many other things. They all received counseling and we have seen them grow a lot in the last weeks. Some of them were very shy in the beginning, others suffered still from what they experienced while they worked in prostitution but now we see that they are on a good way forward.
Thank you for being a part in this life changing training. You have impacted the life of these six women for eternity!
I hope that you will enjoy the attached pictures – they show the students at graduation and during the training.
With gratitude
