The Sisters of Saint Gregory have a very special sister each year. We have been sponsoring an Afghan woman in one of the Women for Women International's training programs. This program gives a women a year of literacy and rights training along with vocational skills training. With savings from her monthly stipend the trainee has a nestegg at the end of the year to turn her skills into an ongoing income producing venture.

In the workshop in Kabul women learn beading, tailoring, baking and jewelry making. Women for Women International has recently opened a program in DR Congo and is developing one in Sudan.
