Dress A Girl Around The World

The children and I have been lucky enough to have been donated over 40 dresses for the orphanage. The help of another volunteer Gwen Duffy and Louise Horler the UK International Partner of an American charity 'Dress a Girl Around the World' have made this possible.
The charity believes every girl around the world should own at least one pretty dress, so people who can sew are asked to make dresses out of pillow cases and spare materials to be sent to girls around the world. So far 400 dresses have been taken to four different projects in Malawi including the Home of Hope Orphanage, 70 dresses to Kenya, 50 to India, 90 to Ghana, 70 to Uganda and 200 to an International charity to distribute.
 I met with Louise in Bristol and collected the 40+ dresses to take with me, and they are amazing. A massive thankyou to the charity and to Sew Scrumptious http://sewscrumptious.blogspot.co.uk/ ! Hopefully I can soon post photos of the girls in their new dresses!
