At the previous workshop, I encountered the need to donate a sewing machine for this center, so that the girls may continue making washable pads for the center and other rural communities in need within Santa Cruz. With Hermana (Sister) Cristina donating the sewing machine for the center.   At this workshop, there was a nun from the Hogar San Lorenzo Orfanato ( Orphanage) in Santa Cruz.
