Orphans in Uganda

On Saturday we had our stake enrichment day and we had a sewing day, making dresses and shorts for orphans in Uganda. We had so much fun!
There were between 60 - 70 of us working through out the day. We had tables, sewing machines and iron's set up. We had a different table for each stage of the clothes making, cutting out, sewing, finishing/accessorising and quality control. We made over 250 items of clothing!
Bex Okotel runs the Child of Hope orphanage/nursery school in Namatala, Uganda. She happened to be in the country so popped in to see what we were doing. She said that she was over whelmed with everything that we had done. She told us a bit about life in Uganda and the kind of children that they help. It made it all a bit more real and worth while!
All in all it was a tiring, but enjoyable day!
