sew sweet
If you’ve been reading this blog for a while now, there’s something you know about me. I really. love. to sew. Really, I do. That’s why this post is so near and dear to my heart.
These sweet girls are being taught by our friend Ali all things related to couture. (basically, here, couture is everything you need to know to have a sewing business- embroidery, making clothes, knitting). Ali is a graduate of the Masters Commission program run by our friends Rodrigo & Juanita Rivas. He takes his job as teacher very seriously. It’s his desire to minister to them by giving them a skill that they can really use. And he’s doing a great job. The girls, as you can see, are having a blast. What an awesome thing this is. So near and dear to my heart because I love these girls and I love what they’re learning.
