“We are hopeful that next year by the first quarter, God willing, we will start moving back to our various villages.

“We will return rich because we have acquire skills,’’ he said.

Mrs Lydia Ashifa, one of the women, who benefited from the training, thanked Ndume and other lawmakers from their area, who came to their assistance.

“We are happy, we are very grateful. We will re-elect him (Ndume) again,’’ Ashifa said.
