So Encouraged By Tamara
There is so much joy in working with the women who come to Evangeline's Skills Development Program but even greater satisfaction when I see how they are progressing. A few days ago I was walking on our campus when Tamara called out to me. She was radiant and had such good news. She has work three days a week with another Christian organization who hired her to sew for them once she told them about her skills and also because she is an EM graduate. She uses the sewing machine she received at graduation last year to help her earn her much needed income. More than that she is now married and that is no small achievement for a woman in Masiphumelele. Tamara is a 2011 graduate and she was one of some of the women in our class then who lost their homes in a massive fire. I was able to help her with some funds and even better, clothes and shoes that she still uses. This is the goal, to train the women and then find openings for them to use their skills and Tamara is a huge encouragement to us in this. I wish her every blessing and will do all I can to help her.
I am also encouraged because we continue to have offers from entrepreneurs who are keen to use the women to sew all types of projects. Please pray for even more openings for them and wisdom for us all as to choose the right ones.
