As we work on “Life Skills” with our adolescents we have developed a sewing program, offering youth a chance to discover their talents and express their creativity. We recently received a new sewing machine from USA sponsors and now I (Rodica) can teach three students at once rather than just two! We sew bags, purses, pencil cases, gift bags, etc.
These items are then sold at events organized at local fairs or high schools. Each student receives 40% of the sale price which encourages them to continue to sew and helps them gain confidence in their abilities. The other 60% go toward materials and back into the program.
We can see they are eager to create something with their hands, and we want to encourage them in this, helping them in any way we can.
A big thank you to all those who walk with us and sustain our work spiritually, morally and financially! God is blessing the activities in our community!
