Today we got to pick up the banners for our two new groups, Mphatso and Area 50 support groups. I really hope they both like the new banners and that it will help with advertising. We even added the logo for Lighthouse on the banner!
This afternoon we met with the Mtsiliza support groups again to find it what they have learned about knitting machines and to see what items they had for sale. We were joined by Moses from NAPHAM to assist in translation and who will assist while Tasha is out on maternity leave. The group is really looking forward to getting a knitting machine (so keep an eye out for an upcoming fundraiser!) We are looking forward to monitoring their progress and working together to help them purchase additional machines in the future. Mtsiliza has made some gorgeous baby items that we are looking forward to selling as well as bags.
I love the orange sweater, I wish they made it in my size! I'm really looking forward to sharing everything that we bought.
We had a great time seeing this group again and can't wait to hear what they will accomplish in the next year!
Side note:
We are actually participating in a craft show at St. Luke's church on Fort Hunt Road in Alexandria on September 13, 2014 from 9-3pm if you want to check out our knitted goods.
