Out of all of Amma’s relief programs in Uttarakhand, the Vocational Training Centers have been the instant success story. Standardized curriculum from Amachi Labs, delivered by laptop made it possible to implement the classes so quickly. This week I attended the final session of the Fabric Painting Class in Guptakashi. This was the second batch of 20 students to complete the course there.

The ladies were obviously enthusiastic about what they had learned and lined up to show off their finished products.

Some were for their own use and some were working samples to show local shopkeepers.

Fabric Painting is also being offered in our Ukimath and Augustiamuni Centers. The next Guptakashi Class will be Basic Computer Literacy. I believe all 20 seats are already spoken for.
