Many of you joined in on our apron project and asked to be notified of any other projects we have for the women and children of Haiti.
Announcing 'Project Summer Skirt' for the girls of Haiti.
In November, we will be traveling back to Haiti to the village of Dumay at the foot of a mountain where there are hundreds of girls in need of clothing. Our dream is to bring some fun and colorful skirts to these little ladies to brighten their world a bit.
Will you join us??
It would be fantastic to receive your skirts by July 31 in hopes of shipping them on a container that leaves August 1. However, if you miss that deadline we will accept skirts through the end of October as well.
Send skirts to:
HAITI BY HAND
3333 BENTON ROAD
CEDAR HILL TN 37032
If you'd like to send a tank or tee to match your skirt, all the better! You can likely squeeze several skirts into the US Priority flat rate envelope for $4.90.
SKIRT DETAILS: All sizes for toddlers through pre-teen. Any simple elastic-waist style. Keep in mind the children are very thin. Use any type washable and lightweight fabrics you like. No wools, corduroys, etc. Remember Haiti is very, very hot.
Again, my heart's deepest gratitude extends to you and your continued willingness to give to the women and children of Haiti. May you be blessed!
grace & peace,
Rebecca

I hope I can get this done! Traveling some this month, so I may not make the July 31 deadline.

I am super excited to help out on this project. I have lots of fabric ready to cut out and printed out a couple of skirt patterns. Still working on about 20 aprons so might not get the skirts done by end of July. But I'm working away here in VA... too hot to go outside.

Rebecca, I will be presenting this to Heritage Presbyterian Church members on Sunday and several other organizations. Thanks for all you do to help others.

Great idea. Unfortunately I can't sew... If I see anything nice on sale in store I'll send it. What sizes are usually asked for and is it only cotton skirts that's wanted? Just checking this is an actual charity and that items reach people. Because it's expensive to post overseas.
