Renewal
Findings: After the exhibition it was evident that there is a great bank of talents and skills in crocheting, embroidery, cake making, biscuit making, spray making, beads making, but the skills for knitting were lacking even though the mothers are willing to learn the skills. The skills in Dressmaking and tailoring were also lacking Challenges:
Lack sewing machines Lack of a skilled persons to teach dressmaking and tailoring Lack of a skilled person to teach knitting Lack of capital to start the Mothers Union shop
The members of the Mothers Union are committed to making a difference in their families by having income generating activities. Therefore they are requesting for any friends and partners who may be able to support them in getting sewing machines used for embroidery, as the hand embroidery takes a long time. Income from this is very slow as it depends on how long one takes to make embroidery especially on bed sheets and other garments.
This is Mary John Garang – the Wau MU Coordinator. She would very much value offers of help and support for this new project and the hardworking Mother’s Union of Wau Diocese. Please contact the Diocesan Secretary with any offers of help. dio.secretary@wau.anglican.org
