"Z" Showing Sewing Machines
posted (March 14, 2013)
She's been absent from public life for some time but today former Mayor Zenaida Moya re-appeared, where else, but In the Mesopotamia Division!

She donated 14 sewing machines to the vocation class of Maud Williams High School. Today at a small handing over ceremony, Moya congratulated the students, both male and female who are passionate about sewing, and pledged her continued support to the school.

After the ceremony, she told the media how she was able to secure the donation:

Zenaida Moya - Donor, Sewing Machines
"This donation came about through the request of teacher Alice Williams, who teaches sewing right here at Maud Williams High School. She is a very dedicated teacher; she loves sewing and she has worked with me before, when it comes to sewing training for women. Now she asked me, she said it's for her students, which I must say are male and females, and as a matter of fact, even the shirt that the model wore, that was sewn by a male student and the clothes that were shown, male and female sewed them. So Mrs. Alice asked me for it and I ensured, you know, that I got as much as I could, 14 of everything, the sewing machines, the chairs, everything and it has a value of a little over $5000 dollars. I must say that Mr. Nando has been supportive and he had helped in ensuring that we got some of those. I want to tell him thanks also; I must say that they have always been supportive of efforts like these. I think that we have to always give respect also to the business community because they try to do their part as it pertains to Maud Williams High School, which is a high school that is one of them that needs more support."

The vocation class is planning a variety show for tomorrow to display the sewing talent of the class who've already created artistic pieces.
