We were packed to the rafters today and what a great feeling that was!
Over 60 volunteers passed through this morning and we achieved a great deal. Thank you to everyone that participated.
Jamie gave a great presentation and it was spine tingling to see the kits that were so loving made by our team in the hands of the girls in Uganda - well done everyone and a huge THANK YOU to Jamie for heading up the distribution for us.
It is wonderful to report that we have now reached our target for the 400 kits for shields, heavy flow shields, underwear, soaps, and regular liners! The serging team are now "foot to the floor" on their machines getting the remaining 400 heavy flow liners finished. We will also purchase some washcloths to reach the 400 needed.
And many thanks to Julie's team that took home the remaining shields to snap, you ladies are fabulous.
We will meet again on Sunday 21st to pack and chat and celebrate. (no ironing ;-) !!!! )
As discussed today we will ask if anyone would like to bring in a little snack or treat to share. Also we will have some tables available to any of our volunteers who would like to display / sell their crafts during the "celebrate time" on the 21st. It is up to you if you would like to make a donation of any amount from the sales. Please contact me to let me know if you are interested.
We are almost there .... many thanks!
Here are some candid shots from this morning.
