Sime Wangmo, 21 years old, was born in a poor family of Phentok village in Lhunzhub County. She had to drop out of high school two years ago to reduce parents' burden of affording four children to go to school at the same time.
In October, she got a piece of good news that she and her sister could participate in the skill training class held in Dagze County with free tuition and accommodation fees.
TAR Women's Federation used 84,000 yuan funds from Poverty Alleviation Office to hold a 45-day training course about catering and hotel services for Tibetan women. There were more than 130 students participating in this training class. At the same time, TAR Women's Federation will also recommend proper jobs for all the students after the training to help them increase income and change their family status.
Sime Wangmo enjoyed the life in this training class. She said: "Everyday we begin classes from 10 o'clock to 13 o'clock in the morning, and from 15:30 to 17:30 in the afternoon. What we are learning is not only the content about catering, hotel services skills, but also the patriotism education, the basic knowledge about women's healthcare, and the law about labor contract."
After the training, Sime Wangmo and her classmates received the vocational skills certificates. And 4 students had been employed by a Beijing company and other 12 students had signed contracts with a Lhasa company.
Sime Wangmo expressed her new dream, she said:"My hometown, Phentok village, is quite a beautiful place. There are many cultural relics as Razheng Monastery. I will learn the knowledge about catering, hotel management harder and open my own hotel to develop the tourism in my hometown ."
