  Greetings in the precious name of our Lord Jesus Christ, I am delighted to inform you that the first batch of women's empowerment training went well. Let me apologize for the pictures. Some of the qualities are not quite as good as the previous year, so I decided to attach a lot of them so you have options. Also included is a short video of the training.

I am not able to send a good number because of the weak internet access. So, please expect more pictures after this one. I would like to thank all of you for supporting me in this endeavor. Some of you donated to fund the project, while othe
