Day 6 - Dress a Girl (& Boy) Around the World
We had such a good day handing out lots of dresses and shorts made for us by many people all over the UK. We received many dresses from the charity, Dress a Girl Around the World UK, The Blue Room, an art and craft shop in Nailsea (near Bristol), and many individuals who are passionate about both tailoring and seeing smiles on the faces of those less fortunate around the world.
A couple of pictures I particularly like are, the girl holding tight her new dress and the class praying, being thankful for those who have made and given each of them a new dress or pair of shorts.
We really want to say thank you to all those who have contributed and made dresses. We have given out more dresses and shorts to those in Katanga but we aren't able to share them because of child protection reasons. We are saving some of the clothes to give out over Christmas to many more children throughout the community.
Below are just a few pictures of the women in our Livelihoods program, who share a passion for tailoring.
