"DESIGNING DREAMS" is the name the girls from the orphanage in Cochabamba, Bolivia have decided to give to our project. They chose the name because through the workshops they hope to make their dreams come true... they have very creative minds and now their designs will help them build the future of their dreams!
THANKS TO YOU the project is now underway and everything is almost ready for the workshops to start mid March! We have bought the first sewing machines and the girls are very, very excited! We have had to keep the machines well wrapped up to avoid curious little hands from fiddling with them!
Whilst our team is busy preparing the classes and buying all the material, the girls have been practicing their creativy and making hand sewn serviettes! They are so talented!
We are very, very pleased to say that a LOCAL ENTREPRENEUR heard about our project and has offered to let the girls visit his very succesful leather factory. The girls will not only be able to see how a factory is run, but also they will have the opportunity to learn to use industrial sewing machines and collaborate with local designers.
WE WILL BE IN TOUCH SOON TO KEEP YOU UPDATED! Thank you for helping us design these girls dreams!
