O-Shirt Tour

As part of our Butterflies en Mexico A.C. (BEM)
Vocational Skills Training Program we were invited on
Tuesday July 28th, 2015 to tour O-Shirt, a custom shop,
specializing in hand made clothing and embroidery.

Seeing How It Is Done

Having completed the Introductory Class of the BEM 

Vocational Textile Program, the students were gifted with a

"hands on" successful, working business experience.

We cannot thank enough our many Volunteers for their 

untiring hours of service and a special thank you to Esperanza,

from O-Shirt, who made this tour possible.
