2010 - 2011 Academic Year
We started the year by allowing the students to become familiar with their sewing machines. We then helped the girls make backpacks. They created backpacks for themselves and for their pen pals in Africa. Each student was assigned another girl from Uganda as a pen pal. They have also been making pillow cases for the homeless shelters.
