We had a lovely morning this morning gathering together for our 2nd Volunteer Meet Up.
It was lovely to be surrounded this Mothers Day by mothers and daughters making kits with love and care for other mothers and daughters they don't even know and will never meet , but they hope that their work makes life better for those special ladies / girls.
Today we had a HUGE VICTORY! We have now received enough donations to purchase the much needed Die Cutter plus the shipping. How amazing is that? In less than one month we made a goal, talked to as many people as we knew, spread the word ,and received the donations.
THANK YOU to all the kind souls who donated towards the cutter. And a very big thank you to the amazing people of Muscat who have donated soap, fabric, underwear, and washcloths. We should have a progress tally to post soon.
Last but not least, thank you to the funny and amazing group of volunteers who turned up today. You ladies rock (and make laugh so much).
The next meet up is "scheduled" for Sunday 5th June (just awaiting venue confirmation on the date). This should be the day before the holy month of Ramadan commences and the schools will finish shortly after for the summer break (whew did anyone notice it was already 45 degrees today?).
We will make a difference.
Every Girl. Everywhere. Period.
