Day 6 in Malawi, August 20th

Today we bought the material for the girls dresses. We purchased 165 meters of material, buttons, zippers, binding, thread, etc. Can't wait to see the dresses. There will be two tailors working full time on the dresses. They should be finished before I leave. We also purchased the supplies needed for village project number 3 and 4. We will put the packages together tonight and the village projects will take place tomorrow in Zomba and Chiradzulu. I am thinking we will do the last village project in the village of Jacket when Brother Gentry arrives.

Everything is going great here. The weather here is beautiful and so are the people.

Have been following your journey & enjoying it!If I mail a check this payday locally, for 5 dresses or uniforms, will you be able to add them while you're there? I really like that you're buying the materials & using the services of tailors, in Malawi.
Thanks,

Noni,

Yes I can use the money you send towards the dresses. No problem. Say hi to everyone at the hotline for me.
