grateful hearts of the young girls standing proudly as they hold their
Certificate. They have successfully completed the Housekeeping and Food
Production Course for the schoolyear 2019 – 2020 despite the challenges the
COVID 19 pandemic posed to the girls in order to arrive to the conclusion of
their one-year training. Now, they are looking forward to a bright future as
they immerse themselves in the world of work.
The “ Mazzarello VTC” provides the young girls at risk who are interested in the Home Food and Management training that orients them for the employment in the Restaurants and Hotels in the onetime capital city of Myanmar “Yangon”.
