CLD Stories #2: Threads of Life

One of the projects going on through Come, Let's Dance is a sewing shop in the slum where women are taught practical as well as business skills to give them a way forward to provide for their families. Here is Shane's, CLD's founder, June update:

On Saturday afternoon we graduated the 3rd annual Sewing class — we were all there for the event — I was the guest speaker, Ricardo designed the certificates, Catherine handed them out, we all had sodas, David was the photographer and Solomon made graduation sashes for them all to wear:) this team will now move into an Intermediate class while we start a new group of only 5 ladies on July 1st — we decided to overlap the groups this time and keep them smaller. The teachers, Irene & Aisha, are 2 former graduates of the last class and now they’re the teachers — they were so proud! I was so proud. Their products are getting so good. We now have a booth at the local craft market every Friday and we’re getting another this Saturday to the tourists. Ricardo, our CLD designer that God sent out of no where, is right now in town printing stickers of the new Thread of Life logo that he’s designed us — it’s all coming together for us this month, which is close to a miracle when you’re rehabilitating slum women out of prostitution and destitution. That’s the Truth!
