In January I asked if you would join our church for Project Sew Important. Almost everyday I receive an e-mail from you, your friends, friends of friends, even your grandmothers asking about the project!!
I have been overwhelmed by the number of women who wanted to help. God was behind it all so I should not have been surprised but I was.
I wanted to thank you for helping, spreading the word and/or praying for this project. Our original goal was to provide kits containing reusable hygiene products for 96 girls at our Children's Hope Chest care-point in Kombolcha, Ethiopia. That meant sewing 192 shields and 960 liners- a very time consuming task. We knew it was a huge undertaking but we thought we could do it.
Because of the overwhelming response we have enough kits for our care point, and the girls at two other Children's Hope Chest care-points- Project Greenlight and Trees of Glory! Praise God!!
Project Sew Important will continue! We will continue to provide vulnerable girls with feminine protection. Many are still sewing and we are receiving items for the kits.
Thank you all for caring for the girls in Ethiopia who miss many days of school because they lacked protection. I love how many came together to be the body of Christ and serve.
Next month we'll post photos of the girls receiving the kits.
I love going in to the office to see what's in the mail! Here are just a few of the items sent in the last few weeks and items made by our church's prayer shawl ministry. Thank you, thank you, thank you to everyone who made this possible
Here's 550 liners of the 1,510 needed for the kits!
Completed kits ready for packing!!
