"LIFE KEEPS GETTING BETTER AS HOPE BECOMES REAL" (April 19, 2018 update)

This is the material our source, Jonathan Flanary, of Aiden’s Fabric gave us for Memory when we were in South Carolina in February. (Literally a suitcase full).  She will be able to make clothes, table cloths  or curtains and sell them.

Angela, (L)brought Memory a brand new serger from Australia.  Memory was thrilled when we explained about her going into her own business.  Currently she pays two dollars a garment to go rent a serger to finish her garments. With her own machine she cuts this expense, and can also rent out serging herself.

This is a dress Memory sewed for her daughter, Shalom. She is a professional.

The value of the Overlocker is $800. and Angela gifted it to Memory with condition she pay HHTH $150. In return so we can help someone else. CJ prepared the contract for her to sign.  And she was excited to do so.

HHTH has hired her for one of our projects.  In their tiny one room house, she is cutting out reusable feminine pads.  (Her goal was to cut out 10 for the day).  Part of our mission is to encourage children in their education.  Because they don't always have access to feminine pads, the girls will stay home during their period. Missing that much school is a problem.  CJ has wanted to do this for some time.  We now have a material source, and an expert seamstress to get the job done.

The pattern CJ furnished her folds up so they can carry one to school.

The actual pad is constructed with terry cloth on the inside and non-absorbent material on the outside.  The wings on the side go under the pantie and snaps into place.  They can be washed after use and used for about one year.  We want Memory to make at least 3 for each of our orphan girls who are of age.

And, much to our delight, Chico, a lady at the Lodge where we stay, wanted to know all about what we are doing.  She heads a group of ladies working here at Lokhotulu Lodge who contribute money to help girls this way. So we are talking to her about Memory also making an order for them! 
Please pray about this for us.  It is a win-win for everyone.

At this point, Memory has already sewed 30 pads. She will get $2. per pad.  It is an outstanding opportunity for this lovely family.  She and Mashonga have brought light to the old ways and have elevated their life!

Until Next Time.... with Love¸ from the Bush,
