I heard about the center from some of my friends. I told my husband that we can register our daughters in the preschool program provided by the center. When he saw how the staff showered us with their love and respect, he allowed me to visit the center more often. And later to join the sewing program which changed my lifestyle and had a great impact on my family life socially, psychologically and financially."
