‘My overall experience was good; when the program started I was not sure if I will be able to do a business but gradually gained confidence. This program was an exciting thing and gave me something to look forward to during this COVID situation. I do not remember enjoying any other program like this. I wish to continue my cooking business in the future.’ Sufiya Taj
