Vocational School News
After nine months of Batik and Tailoring instruction and learning how to run a small business,  our first class of students enjoyed their graduation ceremony which took place in February, 2008. What a remarkable, exciting time that was! What a transformation in the lives of these women who have now formed small business units of 4-5 women per unit each group sharing a kiosk to sell their tailoring products. With their treadle sewing machine, a gift from Village Ministries, the graduates are now business women who can give their children 3 meals a day instead of one and can pay the fees for their children to go to school. SINCE THEN, 405 STUDENTS IN OUR VOCATIONAL SCHOOLS HAVE GRADUATED AND 125 MORE ARE PRESENTLY (2010) STUDYING TAILORING AND COSMETOLOGY. PLEASE CHECK OUT OUR NEWSLETTERS TO SEE THE EXCITING PROGRESS SINCE 2007. GOD HAS MADE EVENTS HAPPEN AT AN AMAZING SPEED. WHILE SCHOOLS ARE ORGANIZED AND STUDENTS GRADUATE, MANY ARE HEARING THE GOSPEL, ACCEPTING CHRIST OR BEING STRENGTHENED IN THEIR CHRISTIAN WALK. YOUR DONATIONS ARE ALLOWING US TO DO THIS WORK.

Graduation Day of our first Vocational class in Tailoring and Batik

 We are so grateful to God for the changes in the lives of their families and community as a result of having a means to earn an income. Forty women are registered for the next class of Tailoring and funds have been received to purchase the sewing machines and other supplies.We are also seeking someone to come to to Liberia to teach beading and jewelery making to women and girls who do not have grade six education and therefore cannot take the Tailoring classes.
