The Sewing Project is making strides. Seven villages now have women who have learned to sew and are ready to teach other women in their village. New treadle sewing machines have been bought for each of these villages. And just recently sturdy wooden sewing furniture, a table, straight chair & a white board, has been delivered to the villages. This furniture was made by students at CEVER, the vocational school in Yoro.
Another current project is the building of a new middle school for the lower villages so more students will be able to go beyond sixth grade. The Honduran government recently approved the project and site. Some students have actually started seventh grade with a teacher working in someone’s home! But they really need a school. We hope to start a seventh-grade classroom soon and eventually have a six-room building near the elementary school in Mescales.
