The Social Relief and Welfare Association in Saida- Muwassat organized a graduation ceremony yesterday for the 24th group of students of the affiliated Sidon Technical Institute for Young Women. The event was held at the Institute’s premises in the southern capital and was sponsored by Saida Mayor, Mohamad Saudi, in the presence of a group of public figures. On the occasion, Muwassat President, Arab Kalash, underlined the Institute’s determination to follow up its mission in educating young women in the various vocational disciplines and helping them participate in the development of their own city. Saudi, for his part, pointed out to the principle of partnership which is key to the success of the Association and which relies on the social and institutional efforts and the work of members of the Saida community. Saudi added: “Taking a tour inside the different departments of the institute one can clearly find that young women are true partners of the Association that took them in, trained them, and created for them new job opportunities so that they can improve their income and contribute at the same time to the accomplishments and successes of the Association itself”.
