Dress a Girl Around the World Sew Fest, St. Michael Hall, Jan 14

Monthly Dress A Girl Around the World Sew Fest
Saturday, January 14, 2012, 9am – 3pm
St. Michael Parish Hall, 300 Block of Maple Street, Livermore


If you like to sew, please bring your sewing machine and creative imagination as we make 100 dresses in a single day for girls in developing countries.  We also need people to setup, clean up, iron, snip, sort, fetch and carry!

For more information, please contact Suzanne: suzanneslu@yahoo.com, 925-352-8447.

Sew fests will be scheduled monthly at the St. Michael Hall for all of 2012.

Why do we make dresses?  To fight human trafficking.  Little girls dressed in rags are a target, while a well dressed girl is assumed to be well cared for by an adult protector.  This project is in concert with the national Dress A Girl Around the World project (http://www.dressagirlaroundtheworld.com) and Hope 4 Women International (http://www.hope4kidsinternational.org/h4wi).
