Threads of Hope Belize

 WEEK # 8! and we moved through that pretty quick and are working on WEEK #9 !

             Another new day! 

Thank you Jesus for such a beautiful gift! We pray that we will do a good job for you today. We are so blessed to be here.

Week #8 passed quickly with Los Tambos working on school uniforms and Buena Vista still finishing up some projects.

As you can see Joe always has a gathering of children around him when he works. So much so that you can barely see him in the upper left hand corner. 

I think in this picture they really look like they are learning something. 

Week #8 finished with another beautiful sun rise only this time in the fog. 

Same day, later in the afternoon. We had many discussions about what this cloud would be. Email me your thoughts. We are easily entertained. 

Something else we do is to teach sewing to anyone who sits down at the machine. This is Mark and he did a great job! Always fun to teach someone eager to learn!

The day is coming to a close .....shadows are getting longer and soon it will be dark about 6:00. Things cool down and become comfortable. Nice for sleeping. 

Week #9

Then we start again! Monday in Los Tambos!

 Joe is rallying the troops mid afternoon! Everyone gets a couple pieces of candy. The ladies are unbelievable! They started sewing uniforms on February 13th and in three weeks they sewed 106 shirts. Today they started the skirts. 

Arcelye has been entertaining herself by eating and playing with rice. I think she is storing a little on her head for later.

I believe she should get a special prize because today she made it all day without hitting the mud puddles once.  

Tuesday will be in Buena Vista. The sewing class is learning to make uniforms! Rose is going along to help instruct the class. 

We also have our embroidery class at lunch time and then again at 2:30! 

Now we are running against the clock to get all of our projects finished before we leave April 5th.
