10 STUDENTS ENROLLED FOR TAILORING COURSE


Following the purchase of one sewing machine with the donation that we receive in the mid last month, there has been a very good turn up of the community to enrolment for the tailoring course; we have 4 young men and 6 women and girls. This has been a very good start up within a month; we believe that in three months to come we shall have a good number hence need for more sewing machine.


In a related development, we have received another donation of $AUST340; the donation is a contribution from a few individual from Australia who came together with the help of one of our volunteers (neighbors) to fundraise for our startup. This money will be used to purchase one sewing machine and its accessories and a basic start for very small project of “table cloth making” for the women, the decision of how the money should be used was reached by the executive committee in their last meeting held on 22/12/07.

I very much convey my gratitude to all volunteers and members at Nabuur site who are helping make a dream of the people of Nyalebe true. I am Ugandan and happened to make a trip to Bunia in DRC via Nebbi (Uganda), Mahagi for business and experienced the vast poverty and disorganisation that had been left by the war. Vincent, you've a big heart to initiate such a task that not even government hadn't thought of.
