Here are some pics of some of our sewing project ladies putting their skills to work making Valentines bears to sell for the recent holiday. I wasn’t even sure they celebrated this holiday here but Valentines Day is alive and well in Zimbabwe. All these ladies were trained as a result of the sewing machine project sponsored by our SHINE ladies from Celebration Church, Jacksonville. Not only did they gain skills to produce clothing on the sewing machines but they also learned to sew “by hand” as you can see here. Thanks you SHINE ladies for helping to empower the women of Zimbabwe.
