New day, new knowledge!

Today, the participants gained a lot of knowledge on how to open a laundry business. Improvements could be seen in terms of ironing shirts and they are getting a hang on how to use the steamers. Cheers for them!

On the 17th of August 2010, 7 OKUs attended a short training course handled by WPC at their office in Jaya One. Beneath are some pictures of them learning how to be a manager of their own Laundry Station.

Can OKUs succeed in business? What do you think?

3:59 PM by Laundry Station
WPC which stands for WorldwidePreneur.Com is commited in helping OKUs to succeed in business. As a first step, a "Laundry Station" has been set up for them in Mid Valley Megamall. Using the revolutionary DCI AirWash washing machine, the participants will run the business largely catering to "Dry-Cleaning" requirements, airwash of toys and simple laundry requirements.

This project requires further financial support. Whilst the ministry of Social Welfare is playing a pivotal role in helping the OKUs come forward and arranging for the grants, there is still a substantial short-fell of funds.
WPC in helping out with the planning, training, organizing, and implementing of the project and it is doing it as a part of its social responsibility program.

We would like to appeal to corporations and individuals to help make this project a 'roaring success'!
There will be an enormous sense of satisfacion in making this project a reality and in helping OKUs to stand tall in their bid to become more successful in life.
