• Mi Esperanza Course: Santa Ana sewing class 2011 & 2012

During the two years Glenda attended class she was eager to learn how to sew.   Sometimes it was hard for her to go to class because she had to prepare for her children to go to school and have lunch ready for her husband, but with effort and perseverance, she finally obtained a diploma.  At graduation, Glenda received a sewing machine from Mi Esperanza and immediately told her friends that she was opening a sewing business.  Currently, she is sewing school uniforms, skirts, or whatever her clients need.  With her new skill, she can provide extra income to help with household expenses and buy school supplies for her children.
