　　我很高興出席中國(guó)援薩摩亞境外培訓(xùn)項(xiàng)目——“2018年薩摩亞創(chuàng)意手工藝品和縫紉技術(shù)海外培訓(xùn)班”開班儀式。

　　這是中國(guó)政府為薩摩亞舉辦的第二期縫紉技術(shù)海外培訓(xùn)班。去年，中方在薩4個(gè)社區(qū)為80名未就業(yè)婦女培訓(xùn)縫紉技術(shù)，受到了薩摩亞朋友的熱烈歡迎和一致稱贊。經(jīng)過培訓(xùn)，許多參訓(xùn)學(xué)員找到新的工作，獲得了穩(wěn)定收入，還將中國(guó)老師傳授的縫紉技能又教給更多當(dāng)?shù)貗D女，這些都實(shí)實(shí)在在地改善了許多家庭的生活。近一個(gè)月的培訓(xùn)結(jié)束后，中國(guó)老師與薩摩亞學(xué)員結(jié)下了深厚的友誼。臨別之際，許多學(xué)員拉著中國(guó)老師的手，依依不舍地說：“你們能不能別走，永遠(yuǎn)留在薩摩亞?！敝袊?guó)老師感動(dòng)地說：“明年我們還會(huì)回來”。應(yīng)薩摩亞政府和民眾的請(qǐng)求，今年，中國(guó)老師再次回到薩摩亞，為5個(gè)社區(qū)100名婦女提供縫紉技術(shù)培訓(xùn)。與去年相比，今年又增加了高級(jí)縫紉技能培訓(xùn)，為來自薩服裝產(chǎn)業(yè)、具備一定基礎(chǔ)的工人提供更專業(yè)的培訓(xùn)，幫助他們進(jìn)一步提高縫紉技術(shù)水平。

It is with great pleasure that I come with my colleagues to attend the Opening Ceremony of Training Course on Creative Handicrafts and Sewing Technology for Samoa sponsored by the Chinese government.

This has been the second training course of its kind sponsored by Chinese government since last year. In August last year, 80 women from 4 villages received training through this training course. They not only learned sewing skills but also made good friends with Chinese teachers. Some Chinese teachers were very moved by the parting words of the Samoan friends: "Could you please stay with us in Samoa forever?" Now, we are so happy to see that Chinese teachers are back, providing the training again for even more women in more villages.
