A Fulfilling Day For Micro-Business

The Micro-Business Coordinator and Sewing Teacher visited Afesip Fair Fashion to see the women who were previously abused sew traditional clothes.

Mr. Rotha Tep, the Business Operation Manager of Afesip Fair Fashion welcomed us warmly and explained the function of each department as we observed the women at work.


The women made dresses, skirts, blouses, pants that look really fashionable! The purpose of our visit is to pick up new knowledge and skills so that we can teach our own team to design something really attractive.

Next, we visited another organization called, “Village Works”. We discussed how better we could work together in the future to export the products we make. We have received an order and must get ready!

In fact, Village Work is one of the export organizations we have been using to send the handicraft products to customers in Australia. While discussing, Village Work’s Director requested us to sew 2,000 handbags at a price of $0.30 per piece! Riverkids plan to deliver this order on March 2010.

We have just assigned four mothers in the community to do this as our Bright Girls have been busy sewing the school uniforms recently to submit to Ms. Kerri by the end of February 2010.

It has been a very fulfilling day for us all! We have to keep on going!
