Meet Monique Bapa -- BOMEN Sewing Group
I am Monique Bapa (In Congo we say our last name first: Bapa Monique).
I am a member of the Bondeko Mennonite Church. I had a baby but I don't have anyone to help me support the child. Mama Marie-Jeanne said I could come to the Bomen Workshop and learn to be a seamstress.
I have been here for one month. My training will last three months. When I finish my training I hope to sew at home so that I can help to support my baby, my brother and sister and myself. My family can't afford to send me to school so now I will have a way to take care of myself.
The project I am working on now is a dress made of different pieces of cloth.
