1995: DESA introduces first occupational training courses

In the summer of '94 DESA organized its first course in weaving and more occupational training courses in sewing. Weaving and knitting were to follow in 1995. At this point DESA did not yet have a gathering place for women, for therapeutic purposes. Now DESA was offering opportunities for self-improvement, a chance for the women to learn something new and useful to them.

DESA received help but gave help to others, as well.

During 1995 DESA participated in a humanitarian aid convoy to Sarajevo and received numerous recognitions for the help it offered to people and organizations in need, such as the Government office for displaced persons and refugees, the Bosnian Town of Zepce for the donation of gynecological equipment, the local branch of the Society of cerebral paralysis for its financial support, and others.
