Volunteer morning tomorrow

TOMORROW is our volunteer morning. We have lots going on at the moment with preparations for our upcoming Distribution in Tanzania so it is all hands on deck ;-)

In an effort to REDUCE PLASTIC WASTE at our volunteer mornings please can you bring along a filled REUSABLE WATER bottle, this will be a new habit for us all to create together.

Here are a few messages ....

1. Tomorrow if you are interested in SEWING SHIELDS then please bring your machine and an extension board and an empty bobbin. Our lovely always smiling Lise is on hand to teach any EXPERIENCED sewists. You really need to be experienced to do the shields. Beginning sewers keep reading below as there is another project for you all.

2. Tomorrow we also begin our DFG Daisy Liners. These are simple cloth washable panty liners that we are making and selling at craft fairs to raise funds for our distributions and materials. This is a NEW project. The level is beginner but you should know your way around your machine, be able to thread it, thread a bobbin and know how to judge a steady seam allowance. We will also require ladies to trace and cut fabrics, iron and assist. Please bring your machine and an extension board if you have one and an empty bobbin. We are hoping that by taking the step from drawstring bags to Daisy Liners you will get the extra confidence and skills required to then move onto shields.

3. TANZANIA. This distribution is definitely more of a challenge in terms of planning and organisation but slowly , slowly we are getting there. We are sourcing sponsorship for one or two tickets to ARUSHA and baggage - more details shared later. We envisage the trip will be about 5 days in total. 
However a few ladies have approached me and asked if they could assist with the distribution and pay their own way. Tomorrow we will gather names for this and if you can't make it tomorrow then please contact myself or Nalini directly. If you are interested in joining then it will be necessary to undertake the FREE REVISED Days for Girls Ambassador training course on-line. This is a self paced course and in the end you will take a test and then receive your certificate. We will discuss this more tomorrow. To take a look now please go to https://www.daysforgirls.org/become-an-ambassador-of-womens…and then REGISTER for AWH101.

We love our morning coffee break and if you feel inclined please feel free to bring along any baked goodies you would like to share.

COME ALL, COME FRIENDS, together we will lighten the load for another girl or woman who needs one less worry in their lives.
