"It was very nice, especially because I shared the workshop with my sister. We usually do things together with her, but this workshop brought us a little closer to the memory of my dad. We grew up around machines, so we were very familiar," she said. to Télam one of the students who received the title of "dry construction assistant", Gabriela Puntano. "It was incredible. I am very grateful because I also felt very comfortable with the environment, with the classmates. It is a very nice experience for someone like me who never had the opportunity to spend time taking a course," said one of her classmates, Cristina Peralta. Organized by the "Zoomadoras, Mujeres que Construyen" program of the Vamos a Zoomar Foundation (VAZ) together with the Bercomat Family (FB) and the UNNE, this first training began in August and had a load of 120 teaching hours.
