The Mayor, while distributing the sewing equipment to the fashion design\/tailoring graduates, commended them for their hard work and dedication to the program.<\/p>\n
He urged them to keep up with the hard work, as he reminded them that skills are the most assured way of escaping poverty.<\/p>\n

The beneficiaries thanked the Mayor for the gifts and further assured him that they would put them to good use.<\/p>\n
