Volunteer Day December 10th 2017

What a lovely morning we had today! We had quite a few new ladies join us which was great news as there were many ladies away traveling.

I love that everyone just get's down to it until there are cries of "I need more to do" and it is also great to see so many people getting multi-skilled and trying their hands at different tasks. Friends, neighbours,











We had an unexpected visitor today from The Royal Navy who came to present us with 1,500 OMR raised from their recent Charity Ball. What an honour it was to receive this knowing that we can convert that into changing the lives of 250 girls / women.  We are exceptionally grateful.  Thank you to Julie and Claire who suggested Days for Girls as one of the recipients of the Ball.


The selling of the Christmas Gift bags was a big success at yesterday's MWF Christmas Bazaar and this morning at the volunteer day. Next week have been invited to the BSM Fair so we are now trying to get as many bags as possible sewn up this week to have on hand for sale. Selling our bags has been a great way to utilise the skills of our volunteers and generate funds to buy fabrics for our kits.

Our kit sponsorship cards arrived today , sadly it was in the afternoon so I could not share them with the team this morning.  I will post them in a separate blog post. They are a wonderful "gift" to give this holiday season.
