Description:

In order to prepare women in jail to re-integrate into the society after they get release from jail, they must be equipped with skills that enable them to earn money legally. For this purpose, BPW Kalasin takes part in BPW Thailand “Returning Good Women back to the Society”. BPW Kalasin members, especially young BPW Kalasin members, conducted the following skill training for women inmates in Kalasin Women Jail (Thantasathan Ying Kalasin).
