Learning how to make patterns

Using the recently donated fabric that was given in January 2014

These ladies are learning how to make dresses

Our class wants to say thank you for supporting them with materials and paying for their teacher.

 2014 started out with a small group of ladies and one brother of the faith. Since the beginning of this new start the class has grown to 16 and with many new faces. Last year at the end we graduated a bunch of ladies as professional tailors. Those who have graduated are now working and selling their products or they are sewing for neighbors. They are also looking in finding new clients so they can increase their work load. With the economy and the lack of work it has been a struggle for those who graduated. However they are not discouraged by any means. One lady invited Glenda to her home to show her the dresses and pants she is making and selling. Glenda came back very happy knowing that all the years of hosting these classes they didn’t go to waste. This year the group is moving towards in learning how to make suits for ladies and for men. Also they will be learning how to make vests and blouses. This group is supported by our general fund. This means that all the support we receive for ministry that is not designated a portion goes in paying the teacher to teach and also purchasing materials. This year like all the years we are blessed with donations of thread, fabric, and tailors chalk. Our group in the last photo is posing to say thank you for your support and prayers so they can learn a new trade and support their families.

Muchas Gracias!!
