Sewing Training

managers Cindy and Emy with Mayor Gordon at the recent grand opening of the "Gawang Gapo" (made in Olongapo ) shop at the SM Mall.

Our Sewing Training Center managers, Emy Atienza and Cindy Rosas, report that they have trained over 150 men and women to sew. Most of these previously unskilled have found jobs in the Olongapo and Subic areas and are now able to support themselves and their families! There are another 100+ on the waiting list for training.
Another "batch" has begun training and are learning measuring and pattern making this week. By the end of the training all students will know how to submit their bio-data (resume) to job agencies. They also will make 10 bags that they can sell to raise money for the needed pre-employment medical exam and police clearances, etc.
We hope to add more sewing machines soon to accomodate more students during each training series.
