Help with Food
Myrtha Dor, Country Manager - Haiti has a passion for sewing.
While schools were closed and students enjoyed their Christmas break, my sewing students had homework. They had to make 4 blouses with different neck shapes: square, V, U and round to bring back on their first day of school in January.
It's was a challenge to make 4 study blocks in in one day. It was also hard to send the sewing students home to cut out and set the patterns on the fabric for four different creations. Then of course as sewing school reopened the had to bring all 4 pieces finished and ready to register.
During inspection I found the inside finishing of some pieces for some of the students didn't meet my level of expectation, I have admired each students effort braving the challenge of trying to make all 4 pieces during their vacation time without any assistance from me.
What I was amazed by the students acceptance of my constructive criticism of their pieces covering all four lessons. I must admit I have been confused for some days about their good mood and laughing faces even during my though critic. I finally realized they were all happy because they have made all 4 pieces without the teacher, me.
But now continuing with classes in sewing we now have a new topic, the study of collars. We have studied the Marine's collar and looking forward to see the final piece presentation. I'm very curious from my side, as I heard some students telling each other that they will make the collar with different color of fabric.
To be followed....
