Day 241- Guest Blogger for charity

Happy Monday everyone!

Today's guest blogger is Angela Mezzatesta, Angela is a co-worker of mine and she has just quit her job and is heading off to Uganda to help set up and run a sewing school. Angela spent 6 weeks in Uganda last year helping to build an orphanage as well as starting this sewing centre (see photo below). Since then Angela has stayed in touch with these woman and this time is heading back to set up and run a sewing school for one year.
I am truely inspired by her commitment to this project! she has quit her job indefinitely, rented out her house and is self funding much of the project with her own savings! I also love that instead of throwing money at a problem she is going to help teach life skills which will enable these woman to earn an income in the future.
She does however need some help, she needs to raise money to keep this project running. If you can spare even $10 this will go a long way to help (see below what you money will pay for and the link to the charity site).
Angela is going to email me updates from Uganda which I will put up on the blog here to keep you informed about her journey.

Help support The OrphFund Sewing School by donating today. OrphFund is running a one year programme, in Uganda, to teach six young women how to be proficient dressmakers in their local village, Kasese. These women have been impoverished since early childhood. Some are Internally Displaced, abandoned, orphaned and/or homeless. By providing these young women with a skill they are given the chance to become self sufficient by earning a living, which in turn, will remove them from the poverty cycle.

Your donation will make a real difference to their future. What your donation will do:
$10 = Sewing materials (for one student) per month.
$20 = A student's study allowance per month.
$30 = A teacher's wage per month.
$90 = A brand new sewing machine.

It only takes a few minutes to donate via my web page and is completely secure. Please feel free to also leave me a message when you donate, which will be posted on my message board!
