“Diamond” women learn new skills
by Gervacio Dauz, Jr.
It’s never too late to learn a new skill, and earn from it, too.
At age 72, Arnolfa C . Donaldo learned how to debone a bangus and to make pickles. She is no stranger to preparing food, though, as she had run her own restaurant for 40 years.
Last December 8, she—together with 16 women and a man—attended a skills training seminar sponsored by TESDA Agusan del Norte and the barangay council of Tandang Sora in Butuan City.
The women were mostly members of the Diamond Star Women’s Association (DSWA). Ophelia P. Labiano, President of the DSWA and also a training participant, said that the group wanted to learn new skills that they can use to put up a livelihood project.
She said that with the support of TESDA and the barangay council of Tandang Sora, they see a brighter future for the elderly.
The training which was held as part of the 18-day Campaign to End Violence Against Women, was for the participants, more than an activity to promote gender and development agenda.
“This might be a just another activity for us in the Brgy. Council,” Kagawad Ubaldo P. Pino, Jr said, “but this surely significant in the eyes of our women.”
Indeed, “helping others help themselves” is the only way to go in overcoming poverty in the country. And for these women, a newly acquired skill could lead to productive lives in their twilight years.
Thus, Arnolfa Donaldo, offered to train DSWA members in making tocino, ham, carne norte, and other processed foods. She also may soon join DSWA even as she is already an active member of the senior citizen’s group. (RDA/GDJ/TESDA-Agusan del Norte)
