With the start of new sewing classes, Ugandan women and men have the opportunity to learn to be tailors and earn money to support their families. This term 38 women and 2 men are attending class. Some of the women traveled so far that they are staying in an empty building because they can't afford lodging. We were surprised at the large number, and we only have 12 machines for them to practice on. Money is available for 2 more machines. I commend these men and women for their desire to learn a new trade. Would you or your church be interested in giving $120 to buy a (treadle) machine for these people to learn a trade to support a whole family? We hope to provide resources for them to get started in business. Then they will return a percentage of their profit to help support the next class.
