All About Them Days (for Girls) - a Must Watch

Upcoming Volunteer Morning

Are you ready? Come along and join the fun, all for a great cause. Sunday March 18th.

Two years ago ...

This is where it all started for us, two years ago today I was wrapping up the training session. 

I knew we could make a difference. Small seeds indeed grow into big trees. 

Thank you to all of our volunteers who continue to support us. (That is Celeste Mergens on my left).

PDO GOLF MORNING

Ladies here is the upcoming golfing information. ONLY 10 spaces left!!! To arrange tickets whats app me or leave a message below and tag me and I will send you Kim's number to text her to arrange tickets which MUST be purchased beforehand. 

You will need to indicate if you have a golf handicap or not.
They will put non handicappers together as the emphasis is on fun - the holes are shorter and they have plenty of non-handicappers playing.

Lunch afterwards will be in the new sportsbar in the RAH club.

There will be a road closure but diversion signs will be in place.

February Volunteer Morning

Today we welcomed 25 new volunteers to the DfG chapter and together we had a strong very productive and chatty 60 phenomenal women producing kit components. 

I am telling you this group of ladies if put in charge of world affairs would have it all wrapped up in time for afternoon tea -  simply put They Rock! 

We also had some Days for Girls Muscat Oman T-shirts on sale. 

Thank you Ladies it was a pleasure to work along side of you all today.

to me

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 ...
