Coursework for Village Women

The women taking the Project Baobab course number 30. They have now taken 5 of their 17 classes. They are coming from several villages to Oloshoi-bor where they are hosting the class in the local church. They start about 9:00 am and work until 2:00. Three women are hired to cook for them and present a lunch at 2:00 before the women start heading home. Since conditions in that area of the Rift Valley are very dry and gardens are without food, having a meal is very important. Women are hired to bring wood, water and the food and then do the preparation and clean up. There is also a woman hired to take care of any children who might be with their mothers.

The women meet the first three Saturdays of the month. I have been receiving emails with comments about the class.

"The training has become more and more interesting women are learning alot (more) than they expected, the topic we learned was about the reasons for starting a business and advantages of a business."

"I want to brief you about Saturday training. The turn up was good, 30 women attended the training. The lessons are wonderful every woman is enjoying it and they have started involving themselves in small businesses even before they have finish the training. This have bring a great impact in the life of each woman who is attending the training. The topic learned last Saturday was, types of businesses and marketing. Loanna may God bless you for organizing for us to have such training. I believe we shall never be the same again."

We are looking forward to some pictures from the class and will add them to the blog page as soon as they are received.
