Peace Ilondior moved to Calgary from Nigeria in January. The 24 week long class will be run through the Making Changes Association and 15 women will be taught by volunteers from Yycnet Labs which hopes graduates will pay it back by returning as instructors.

If we had more people trained in this field with a little bit of free time that they could donate back in terms of volunteer hours we'd be able to grossly scale this kind of endeavor, says Mike Simoens from Yycnet Labs.
