Fourth Friday Foto

Hi, Friend,


Unlike America's "fast fashion" world, this roadside tailor and her treadle machine work small miracles in Lukaya—"magically" transforming torn uniforms into good-as-new.

Now, Mustard Seed Secondary students are learning these valuable skills themselves, gaining practical abilities alongside academic studies. These new vocational programs are preparing students for diverse opportunities beyond graduation.


Gratefully,

Elaine

P.S. Our next Foto Friday will be in two weeks. Starting in September, we'll be back with weekly emails and hopefully a few extras during our visit to Mustard Seed.
