High School Youth and Adults Sew Backpacks Side-by-Side
Immanuel Lutheran high school youth in Atkinson, Nebraska learned how to sew with the guidance of experienced seamstresses in their congregation. The goal was two-fold: bring youth and adults together and create much-needed school kits to be shared with Orphan Grain Train recipients.
The first photo shows some of the students who were part of making the kits: Bryer, Brileigh, Ava, Reese, Cale and Camry. (not pictured are Elizabeth and Pavan)

Thank you, Immanuel Lutheran youth and sewing teachers for coming together for this wonderful project!
