“A STITCH IN TIME . . . " (April 13, 2018 update)



Here, Memory was ecstatic to receive all the beautiful material Jonathan Flanary, of Aiden Fabrics, allowed me to bring to her in Zimbabwe.  She will make many wonderful garments from this awesome gift.   




Our friends Angela (on right) and John Saussehrd from Australia, brought an Overlocker machine and donated it to HHTH.   We named Memory as the recipient because she is an accomplished seamstress.   She was overwhelmed that she gets such a valuable machine to sew for the public. 
This one room is their entire living space for their family of four. 



Memory and Mashonga live in this small house with their lovely children Shalom and Simeon. 



CJ explained the project requirements.  HHTH pays 1/2 of a project and the recipient pays the other half.  In this case, since Angela provided the $900 Overlocker, Memory is only required to repay $150 to make sure she has a stake in the project and feels some ownership. 

Everyone was happy 😊 today!
