Status: Finished
Step: 
6

Sabina has given us a status update of the skill training for women, that which has started with knitting training. The women are now trying to market the knitted goods. We need a journalist or copy writer that can tell the inside story. We'll use this story to contact potential buyers or organizations that can support the knitting training for the women of Yoshinkhel.

We need you to:
- Analyse the update
- Interview Sabina, or send her a list of questions she should answer
- Write an attractive story about this initiative.

I've taken up the task to write the inside story on the knitting programme. Being Dutch, my English is good but not impeccable, I'm afraid. I suppose the piece will need reviewing by a native English speaker. Know anyone? Want to volunteer?
