Hello,

Thank you for reaching out and for your desire to serve alongside Days for Girls. We are sorry to say that we currently to do not have sewing translations in Arabic available.

It is on our wish list. Would you like us to add you to our list for requested translations? We could email you the translation as soon as it is available. Is there a time frame for when it is needed?

If you know of any one interested in helping with translation please have them email us! We would love all the help we can get! :)

Thank you again,

Jasmine

Volunteer Day January 2018

What a wonderful morning we had, lots of work, lots of laughter and lots and lots of chatting.

Thank you to everyone who managed to come, it was a very productive session. I have to say a very big thank you to the volunteers who are so incredibly patient with me when they need help or have questions and I get distracted walking from one side of the room to the other. Remember what I always say ... If I don't come back just hound me until I do ;-)

We discussed where we are at in terms of completed items and ways we can increase the workflow. 

There was an update on our "never-ending" search for a flannel supplier, the purchase of new machines (welcome to the family Cherry-Kerry, Cherry-Merry, Cherry-Fairy, Cherry-Berry the Janome sewing machines and also Rose, Daisy, and Tulip the Janome Sergers/Overlockers), and we discussed the recent fairs we have showcased DfG and our plans for upcoming distribution ideas.

To build a bridge between the bag and shield sewing we are going to introduce some panty liners using up some of the off-cuts from our cotton, flannel and PUL so look out for a separate post on that shortly. These are not for distribution but they will be added to the small arsenal of goods we have to sell at craft fairs to raise money for materials.

Welcome to the new volunteers who joined us today, we appreciate your participation and we hope you had fun.

Tentatively we are looking at February 11th for the next volunteer morning which will be confirmed soon.

To follow are some pictures of the AMAZING beautiful kind hearted ladies we have volunteering with us.

Thanks for stopping by ...

Volunteer Morning - DATE CHANGE

to all our wonderful volunteers!

Please note that we are having to postpone the volunteer morning planned for this coming Sunday until the following Sunday - 21st. The hall has another booking and I have always said that if they get a paying client that we can be flexible given that they so generously support us each month. I hope you all understand and that we can see you on the 21st.

1,000,000 KITS

Volunteer Day Approaching / Ribbon / Instagram

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!  Well I am not sure how that happened because to me it felt like we just returned from our summer vacation but here we are with a new year and big plans.  Let's join together and "whip up" another 500 kits ladies ... we are already well on our way. 

Ladies if you are in Emirates Gift Mart or Bustan Gift Mart (or similar) and you see the ribbon we use for the drawstring bags please could you let Nalini or myself know. We were able to pick it up in Bustan Gift Mart last year MUCH cheaper than it sells for in Ghafoor but the stock availability fluctuates. 

Are you on Instagram? Please follow us and spread our posts so we can create more awareness. Look for Muscatomandaysforgirls . 

Please join us on Sunday 14th January for our next volunteer morning. As always please bring a friend or a snack ;-)
