The BEAM Education Foundation launched its very first mobile tailoring short course training from 4th to 6th of March at Pardan Village, Chiang Dao, and Chiang Mai with 5 trainees. They are ethnic hill-tribes (including Kachin, Lahu, Lisu) and training conducts during their break time from cultivation works. The training aim is to gain other skills and to make income-generation. The training took 27 hours intensively and included skills such as setting up sewing machines, drawing patterns, and sewing 4 kinds of bags. In 2014, BEAM plans to provide basic computer, tailoring and knitting mobile trainings in the Chiang Mai area and in Thai-Myanmar border towns.
