Editor.- Mujeres Pro México celebrated the culmination of the third generation of the Second Chance program on the afternoon of May 8 in San Juan Cosalá.
The event was held at a restaurant on the edge of Lake Chapala, near the restaurant row area of Piedra Barrenada, where the 45 students received recognition for their participation, after an honorary act.
The trades studied were Handmade Sewing, Natural Cosmetics, Caregivers for the Elderly and Event Organization, which lasted about a year. However, the Pro Mexico team offers continuous basic training for women in any of its workshops.
The event was attended by more than 100 people, including guests, family members, students, mentors and members of the Pro Mexico team. The third generation of the workshops was finally able to complete the course, as the first two lasted between six and ten months due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
During the graduation, the mentors and women on the podium recognized and congratulated the graduates for the significance that the Second Chance program has achieved in their lives.
At the event it was pointed out that «there are 45 women giving themselves a second chance to learn»; and «you have put yourselves in front of everyone, deciding and have left aside the thought of ‘I can’t’; we don’t wait for things to happen, thinking if God wants it, of course he does», were some of the phrases expressed.
Pro Mexico is the only association in Ribera de Chapala focused on the development of women by offering them personal and emotional support.
«We are the number one empowerment center in San Juan Cosalá, with 45 hardworking and tireless women,» said Rosa Arévalo, a representative of the association.
The event ended with a runway show of blanket clothing created, intervened and presented by Pro Mexico women, which highlighted the value of each and every one of its women.
