Praise the Lord. We hope and pray you are doing fine. By God’s grace we are keeping well, and the Ashakiran Tailoring Centre is running well.
By God’s grace the fourth batch training program has completed and we have distributed the certificates and the new machines to our students. The fourth batch training program was supposed to finish in February 2025 but due to our children’s final exams in February, and our Muslim students had their Roza months (they fast before Id ul fitter celebration) we did our graduation in the month of March. On the 9th of March we distributed the certificates and on 19th March we distributed the new sewing machines to the ladies. In this batch we had 14 students who have received the new machines and one student who already had a machine, so she only received the certificate.
Praise God it was a good time with them. One of the sisters from our assembly was in this training program. She built a very good relationship with all the ladies and came with us to visit their families.
Presently our Ashakiran Tailoring Centre is well known in our area and students are coming from quite a distance. Already 17 students are getting ready for the fifth batch. We are planning to start our next batch training program in June 2025 and will send through the budget.
Once again, we would like to be grateful to Bright Hope World ministry for your support to our needy sisters. I have included some photos of our graduation programs.
May the Lord's name be glorified.
With love in Christ
James
