Students from the Tom Nunnally Sewing Center arrived at the gate.
Head teacher Epiphanie led her students.
Greeting Mama. I do like the hugs received.
They shared that they would like classes with electric machines to learn on.
Rwanda now has sufficient electricity, and so the places that hire our students ask if they can operate electric machines. When they say no, the job goes to another person who can.
Our sewing school needs machines that run on electricity. We are looking to purchase electric machines (funding needed) to better equip our students for the job market. I decided, thanks to a donation from Lace Ladies in the UK, to purchase a sample machine. Several machines were evaluated. This machine was chosen. It comes as a unit that includes the work table. It is a beautiful, top-quality machine.
We hope to purchase 14 such machines. Funding appreciated. Basic sewing skills will be taught using the treadle machines, and advanced sewing will be taught using the electric machines. Advancement means better equipment.
