Sapna explores a new interest!

After dropping out of school several years ago so that her three younger siblings could study, 15-year old Sapna did not have many opportunities for expression, growth and development.

Recently, she joined a vocational training program offered by AIC to explore an interest of hers – sewing. After completing AIC’s Basic Tailoring course, she has now moved up to the Intermediate Tailoring class and is looking forward to spending the next six months learning more advanced tailoring techniques.

Furthermore, she receives one hour of adult literacy instruction at the end of every tailoring class, and benefits from the nutritious meals provided daily to the women in the class as well.

Her tailoring class teacher reports that Sapna has stellar attendance and achieved the third-highest marks in the basic tailoring practical and written final exams, despite being one of the youngest in the class!

Your generous donations, Julia, Akiko, Bill and Colleen, Erik and Margo (x2) will enable AIC to pay for Sapna’s tailoring course fees.

Your support will ensure that Sapna continues to shine in the Intermediate course as well.
