U.E. (Unidad Educativa) 25 de Diciembre

After my first workshop in Trinidad yesterday teaching Los Lideres , I prepared for my workshop today for primary students at  U.E. (Unidad Educativa) 25 de Diciembre .  I was expecting to teach about 10 young girls but at least 25 girls showed up. One of the girls from Los Lideres joined me as my assistant and was very helpful in teaching girls how to sew. I only showed her how to make the washable sanitary pads yesterday and she is already so capable and skilled. It is great to see how - only just starting these workshops - there are so many individuals willing to take the initiative and help expand this communal effort.  The principal of the primary school introduced me and I explained to the girls the importance of finishing their education and how washable sanitary pads will aid them in this personal commitment.  Throughout the workshop, there was girls tracing and cutting the fabric as well as girls learning how to sew and completing their own pad....

Everyone left with pad templates and learned the skills of how to make a complete washable sanitary pads. The teacher for this schoolhouse came all the way from the neighboring town - where she lives - to welcome her students at the workshop during her school winter break.

Madre María – Centro de Formación para Madres Adolescentes: Donating a Sewing Machine

After my worshops across Beni, I returned to Santa Cruz de la Sierra, Santa Cruz, Bolivia for a second workshop at "Madre María" – Centro de Formación para Madres Adolescentes (Center for Homeless Teen Mothers). 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. She humbly requested a sewing machine for her orphanage.
