Hello my dear readers

I do hope you are well and keeping in good health. We here, at the Academy, had to close for a few weeks due to Covid. With the grace of The Almighty, we find ourselves back to normal with our regular routine, while still facing the challenges this pandemic has thrown at us.

Announcement

The good news is that classes are in full swing! In fact, a special class has also been planned for students and others who are too busy during the academic year to contemplate doing a course – tertiary students and lecturers, and all others who would like to join.

The pandemic has shown us many changes. We are proud of our students, who, through all the fear and negativity, are working towards creating positive environments for themselves. Our class room has shown tremendous progress in each and everyone’s creations.

Women are fast becoming equal breadwinners in the family and the Academy has many success stories in that direction. As the native American saying goes, Women are the fire in the middle of the family.

I say we are the center pole of a huge tent that can withstand any weather. The safer and sturdier we are, the more secure and content our family life.

I have seen, in over 40 years of sewing experience, that your hobby can bring you income with fulfilment and contentment. Anyone who can sew will not go hungry. These are my new motivational words during the pandemic.

Everyone wants the best for themselves and their families. Let us try and be our best selves in order to get the best out of life. There are no coincidences. We have to work towards it – Best behaviour, best attitude, best manners, best approach. With the best we will achieve the best. Let’s make these the best days of our lives.

On that note I wish you all the very best!
