Here is what has been happening with Sewing Hope in 2023.
Sewing School
We have had two classes graduate, one with 30 in January and another with 20 on May 15! You can see the joy on the graduate’s face!
Some challenges:
• The school was robbed of 10 sewing machines in January but we have been able to replace them.
• The owner of the room we have been using has not renewed the lease so the school has had to move to a new location.
Rice Project
• It is another joy to see that both groups of women who have been working two different fields have harvested their crop of rice.
• You can see the enormous sacks of rice that are the result of the project and the joy it brings.
• The women all got a portion the rice they grew. The rest was sold and they each received a small sum of money with some funds set aside for next year’s farming project.
So Much to Be Thankful For
God has been working through the ministry of Sowing Hope to help folks in Burundi. Not only are we helping alleviate significant poverty we are sharing the hope and salvation that comes in Christ Jesus. This fills us with inexpressible joy!
