Ram Kumari Ghimire

After seven days of training in our WAWCAS-group, we got so many opportunities to learn practical skills. I have never got a chance to learn important things before.

As usual there was a lot of discussions during training today. We learned a lot about the ways to grow our business and to make it more sustainable in order to ultimately improve our living standard.
