This campaign was originated by Hope 4 Women International's "Dress a Girl Around the World" campaign! I was the original ambassador for Australia in 2011 until 2013. I am no longer the ambassador but I still continue the work under the 'Dress A Girl Australia' banner.
===============================================================
I started this campaign in early March 2011. I found this Dress A Girl Around the World campaign while browsing the internet. In the beginning it was just me and my sewing machine and with the help of my sisters and their sewing machines too making dresses. Then I thought I would introduce it here as there may be other people who would be interested so I decided to create and establish the campaign to see if it would be accepted as a community work . All I did was blogged and blogged about the dresses I made. From then on I have been managing the Dress A Girl Around the World campaign and has become a volunteer community work in several parts of Australia with the hope of making it Australia-wide. It is self-funded and my way of making a difference to the lives of disadvantaged kiddies around the world.
The idea that I am able to use my hobby to help other people and not just any other people but the disadvantaged children around the world makes this campaign more rewarding. And as a big fan of anything made by hand I like that I am using my handcrafting skills to make a difference in the lives of the less fortunate children. Not in a one-time-big kind of way but in a slowly but surely one-dress-at-a-time way.

Dress A Girl Australia has distributed dresses in India, Vietnam, Uganda, Kenya, Philippines, Myanmar Burma, Papua New Guinea, Nepal Tanzania and even a couple of dresses to Belize and wishes to distribute more dresses in more countries. And with your help, we all can make a difference especially to the less fortunate children around the world...one small dress at a time. A gift that will make a real difference to the life of the child who receives it and who needs it the most.
