Mohammad Esmail Mohammadi is the son of Ghulam Rasoul. He lives in the Mir Hakim village of Islam Qala Town. He was born into a farmer’s family. He says, “My family works on a farm and is busy with agricultural work.” My father tried to earn our expenses, but our family is big, so he could not feed his children properly.
He said, “Before coming to Islam Qala Mobile VTC, I used to work in the custom and earn 200 AFN per day, but this work was so overwhelming for me. It was so hard for me to transfer heavy luggage from early morning until evening. Most of the time, I felt a pain in my back, but I had to earn money to help my father with house expenses.But after attending to the TVET project, his life is changed. He learned a new and useful vocation which has so many demands in his district. Besides the vacation, he could get his transportation fee. On the other hand, he gets FFT for paying his family food payment. He got about 8000 AFN each month. This amount is so good for the management of his family’s financial situation. His father is so glad because his children have enough food. Their family feels so calm about this.
“I really appreciate Help and OSAA organizations for executing such a program for us to determine our future,” he said and continued, “My brother was a beneficiary of the Help organization program five years ago. After finishing his course, he could have a big career in Iran. “I, as the representative of all Islam Qala people, am proud of the Help Organization, which helped the people when they lived in a most difficult situation.”
Mohammad Esmail is satisfied with the project, from which he benefits. “I acknowledge the OSAA organization that prepared the appropriate location, equipment, and environment. I learned a lot from this project. Besides my vocation, I learned general education. After studying the Small Business subject, I now know how to start a new business.
Mohammad Esmail can make every kind of door and window after learning to weld in Islam Qala MVTC. Now he can weld all the equipment. Before attending to this course, he never understood how to join two metals with each other. He’s really into welding right now. He wants to open a store in the welding vocation. Also, he says I want to continue and increase my knowledge and skills in the welding scope. He dreams of going abroad to learn new things in this vocation and coming back. In this way, he wants to help his society.
Finally, he told a story about himself: “When I was very young, 4 or 5 years old, I remember my dad taking me to a friend’s welding store. There was a guy welding in the back, and all I remember is how bright it was, and I was mesmerized by it. Since then, I’ve been hooked. He continued, “I will never look back. I had a challenging life, but now I will have a very rewarding career in the trade that I will always be good at. And I will add: I LOVE WELDING. “
