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 attend class because she had to prepare her children for 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 sews school uniforms, skirts, and other items as needed by her clients. With her new skill, she can provide extra income to help with household expenses and buy school supplies for her children.
