The first part of the meeting was a casual conversation between Marie and the mothers to get to know them more. Then, Marie proceeded to discuss the Memorandum of Agreement with the mothers.

This way, they can also learn how to earn their income while their kids are taken care of at the Family Care Center.
Mothers signing the agreement.The meeting ended less than an hour later, with the mothers heading home together with their children. We hope that the meeting pave way for a difference in the lives of the mothers and their children.
Together we can make a difference!
