.. was the quick effort of all sewing forces to distribute the first masks not only to the students but to all inhabitants in the villages of Chyangsar, Ghunsa, Meranding and Kunikhop.
The sewing is going on diligently but already some things will be distributed before Christmas.
We thank before all Chay-ya Austria and the province of Vorarlberg for making this project possible.
.. the last mask workshop went into operation in Kunikhop. The good cohesion in the cooperative made it possible to extend the activities to this village as well. The women are trained by women from Chyangsar and Ghunsa. What was unimaginable a few years ago now works like clockwork. Knowledge transfer and information exchange among the women, use of synergies across village and project boundaries.
We are very proud of the learning process of the women, who for a long time were used to fighting only for themselves.
Many thanks to the state of Vorarlberg and to Chay-ya Austria for their support.
.. is not an unknown village for us. Up to here a new forest road from Chyangsar goes, from here it is mostly on foot to Ghunsa. The school for many scholarship holders is also located here. The women have been observing the projects in Chyangsar and Ghunsa for quite some time and are now especially happy to be a part of the coopertive as well.
Out of 75 households, 25 women have now joined the cooperative. The sewing workshop for the masks is the first project in which they can now participate. The joy about this is great.
We thank Chay-ya Austria and the province of Vorarlberg for making this possible.
.. are now also sewn in Meranding. Also here the women from Chyangsar have done the training and generated income with their knowledge. Now the sewing workshops in Chyangsar, Ghunsa and also Meranding are active to sew masks for their inhabitants and the children in the schools.
In total, about 5,000 masks will be sewn and distributed.
We thank Chay-ya Austria and the government of Vorarlberg for making this project possible.
