First “Sew-Along” in Maryland a Success!
On November 3rd, Wendy Preslyn, the director of Orphan Grain Train Maryland’s Feminine Hygiene Project, organized the branch’s first Sew-Along. Their sorting room was transformed into a sewing factory, and the hum of sewing machines could be heard for several hours! Close to a dozen women came to the warehouse with their sewing machines. They spent the afternoon sewing the components of the feminine hygiene kits. The amount of completed products was incredible. Girls from Liberia and South Sudan will benefit from the generosity of these women. Another sewing event is being planned for after the first of the year.
Thank you, ladies for what you are doing!
