Tailoring class starting from 17th October  in Masafu - using sewing machines supplied by Tools with a Mission. Streams of Mercy paid for the shipping, customs and handling.   A tailoring class has been using sewing machines supplied by Tools with a Mission. Streams of Mercy paid for the shipping, customs and handling. The course will run for nine months.  The  30 participants are older orphans and some of the guardians. At the Fellowship day towards the end of our mission, Florence (picture 5) listed their achievements during the course so far. She said :  "We look at our past with gratitude, our present with confidence and our future with hope as we build the generation that fear and serve God. This centre is training, preparing, shaping and guiding us for today's tasks, challenges and responsibilities. It is preparing our bodies, minds and hearts. We should not only prepare to become skilled. We were far away from Christ but the centre is preparing our hearts and bringing us nearer to God."   Our achievements so far:  Ability to make measurements and sew shirts and shorts.Learning to operate the tailoring machineLearning new ways of relating to others.Learning about different personalities and being able to handle others and live in harmony with them. Learning how to speak to and handle clients.We have made new friends.Our spiritual life has been uplifted.Discussions are also underway with the Officer in Charge of  Prisons  to work out how to begin training the in-mates, since training them after serving  their sentence will be very expensive. The Carpentry class is due to start in May 2012.We believe that there will soon be a  vocational training centre for ex prisoners in Masafu similar to the Samaritan centre in Zambia. The above pictures show  the first students in the tailoring class. From left to right: Jane in class; Jude in class; Afternoon class...
