We have come a long way in our Fashion training – teaching how to sew. This year makes it 7 years (Wawu!! Can you believe I just realized while writing this blog post) The way the Fashion School started was actually not part of the business plan; but we saw it as an opportunity and we then had to put it in the plan, as students were already waiting to resume. At that time, we put our best foot forward, in ensuring that we offered the best Fashion Training; that for us entailed offering a whole lot. Our curriculum was so jam packed.
