[Get Involved Tuesdays] Little Dresses for Africa


My mom and aunt have taken on this project, which consists of making little dresses for girls in Africa. Started by Rachel O'Neill, the goal was to make 1000 dresses for little girls in Africa out of pillow cases. But now they have distributed over 100,000. My mom heard about the project from my aunt and they have already done ten this week and plan on doing many more. I think it is a lovely and sweet project - sew a simple dress, send it in, and clothe a child. Dresses have also been sent to churches, orphanages and schools in Honduras, South Dakota, Cambodia, Guatemala, Mexico and Haiti. Of course, there is much more to do, but it is a small way to make a difference. You can read more about the project
