Big Step.

There is a big team coming here in April/ May to do a sewing and construction project. I am beyond excited about it and greatly look forward to it. With any project there is always many steps that have to be taken to organize everything. First it was housing, then it was schedules, flights, transportations, etc. Also, a step in the process was finding donors who wanted to contribute money towards the five sewing machines needed to run the sewing project. This was a huge step and with the help of some pretty generous, amazing individuals the money was donated. So just the other day, with money in hand, Grace, one of the project managers, and myself went to go buy the five machines!! After arriving at the store and expressing that we wanted to buy not one, but FIVE machines, and negotiating the lowest price the machines were finally purchased. We only had to wait about an hour before we saw four men coming down the road carrying four of the five machines on their heads! It was quite the sight to see as they weaved through mid-afternoon traffic with big sewing machines on their heads. Once the machines made it to my friend Justin's truck, we packed the machines tightly into the back and were off. Right now the machines are just in waiting until May when they will be used to teach sewing to eight girls from the Kigali community.
