To Whom It May Concern
We hereby certify that the family of Mr. Ezra Saka Wakil has sponsored
a free sewing house project in which poor girls are trained
in sewing and embroidery, located in the house numbered ⟦...⟧ situated
in the ⟦...⟧ quarter. This project was established in the year
1917 and was closed in March 1950 due to the lack of girls joining
it and the community's need to utilize the building for humanitarian and social works.
This project has, throughout this period, provided
good services to the community without any financial assistance from the community budget.
It has also graduated hundreds of poor and orphaned girls from the poor class
of various denominations.
