Thanks from Tanzania We have received a letter of thanks for the sewing machines we shipped to Tanzania. The letter explained that half of the machines went to Lweru in Northern Karagwe. The letter continued "A group of young people there are working towards their vocational certificate in tailoring. The other half went to the newly built Vocational Training Scheme Workshop in Ngara where students will begin a Government-approved VTS in January. A company in Guernsey, Channel Islands, has kindly donated funds to enable the construction of a new Tailoring Workshop. This workshop will enable many orphans who did not pass to secondary school the opportunity to gain a recognised vocational qualification and a useful skill, which will give them an income with which to feed and provide for their brothers and sisters in the absence of their parents." The photographs show the sewing machines being unloaded at Tumaini, Tanzania. |
