Help Johannesburg Dream Center NPC with 5 volunteers for facilitating sewing free sewing classes for women
Here's a little more info about this opportunity...
We are looking for experienced or skilled seamstress to volunteer their time facilitating our sewing course. The course is offered for free to underprivileged, unemployed women as a way to upskill them and better their chances at employment of fending for themselves. The course runs once or twice a week for 3 - 4 hour sessions for 6 -8 weeks. It is presented to a group of 6 -8 women at a time. We have an existing course but we are open to suggestions. Interested volunteers should have experience sewing on different brand machines, including the over-locker. Skilled seamstress who know can pass on the skills.
