Our students

What about the students that are in our school right now, and how are the old students doing? We would like to introduce the students who are at the training centre right now. We also mentioned the old students. Ofcourse we still take care of them. If they live nearby we sometimes pay a visit. But there are students who live to far from the training centre. With those students we keep in touch by phone

Any student who graduates will receive a sewing machine and about 50 euro as starting capital. This will make it easier for them to start up their own business.
