Our sewing lab relocated to the front yard to safely prepare 1,000 masks for frontline workers in Ethiopia's hospitals.
In response to the government's plea for charities to assist citizens where possible, we jumped in and proceeded with astute safety measures in place.
Two sewing instructors and three students who live nearby the training center enthusiastically joined in.
Safely distanced, protected with masks, gloves, soap, and hand sanitizer, the team is honored and empowered to use their skills to help their community in such a momentous time of need.
We're so touched by our students' reactions to get involved. It's been overwhelming.
Each student has an assigned social worker to maintain regular communication during this uncertain time, and they've been calling to ask how they can help. We'll have more news soon on how the girls are sharing messages of hope in their community.
Mask delivery will be carried out by local officials next week.
