i am doing a work in your days, a work that you will never believe, even if someone were to explain it to you.
sew
yesterday we started teaching the women how to sew! it was a learning experience for us too, as we are just learning how to use a treadle machine. we practiced getting a rhythm down on the pedal, and then practiced sewing in straight lines on a piece of paper. everyone was so excited to start sewing, and excited for the future that this knowledge can give to them.

fidelity was very interested in watching the sewing machine pedal go up and down and the wheel spinning round and round.

we have also been working on making bracelets...fidelity was my cute model :)

we were also able to buy medical cards for each of the women and their families. they were so excited! having a medical card gets you free medical care, and the price of prescriptions are very reduced.
