The ceremony began with a Mass presided over by Fr. Jean-Pierre Muhima, Rector of the work, which was followed by the handover of the vocational placement kit to the newly graduated women. Present were numerous state authorities in charge of vocational training from labor and social affairs, Salesian trainers, and lay staff from the NGO VIS.
