Why did we start "made with love" in the first place? Because I wanted to help the women in India learn a trade so they would not have to steal or work the streets (as prostitutes) in order to support themselves and their families. That is why I am so excited that the next items my sisters and I will be raising money for will be two sewing machines for the women in the Cutting and Tailoring Center of Madhavapatnam so they can make the school children’s uniforms! One is a special machine for making button holes, the other would be similar to a serger.
Joyful Journeys Ministry has hired a woman to teach these ladies how to make the uniforms for the children., now they just need the special machines to help with making button holes, steams and hemming. We need a total of $406 in order to purchase the two machines. To help us reach our goal you can purchase a "made with love" item or simply make a donation...you can help make a difference!
By adding this extra teacher and providing them with the new machines, these women will now not only learn a trade, they will have an opportunity to start earning money by using their skills to make uniforms for the children in the Marshall Public School!
Some pictures have been coming in of our new cutting and tailoring center. Check them out!
