Hands that are making a difference

These beautiful hands are starting to make a difference in this world. Beautiful hands of Year 10 Textiles Technology students of Picnic Point High School in Sydney who have started sewing dresses to make a difference and share their blessings this coming Christmas to disadvantaged kids. 

They have chosen some beautiful fabrics and are taking great pride in their work.

Socks for Sponsorship

I thought I would have additional accessories for sponsorship especially with Christmas just around the corner and in some places it would be a great help to keep those disadvantaged kids warm. These pairs of socks have been added to my Dress Sponsorship Program and for $3.50 or a price of a single cup of coffee we can all help keep those feet warm during the cold weather. Sponsor these 3 pairs of socks for 3 disadvantaged girls. All you have to do is click on the image below. 

They are great value for money and there is no need to incur additional cost to send them to my postal address. Make a difference in this world with these pair of socks. Thank you.

Project: Food Makes a Difference #1 - Feed a Child...Touch a Life - 3-Sep-2016

Dress A Girl Australia's first nutritional feeding program under the Project : Food Makes a Difference occurred yesterday, 3-Sep-2016 in a well deserved location of Impasug-ong, Bukidnon, in the island of Mindanao, Philippines about 1-1/2 hour by plane from Manila. The event which was themed "Feed a Child, Touch a Life" provided nutritional meals to about 200 kids organized by Del Burdeos in coordination with the Impasug-ong local government.

This project is 2016 recipient of my Dress Sponsorship Program. Proceeds from the sponsorship program goes to this project starting last 1st of July, 2016 . My heartfelt thank you to those who have sponsored dresses so far and helped finance this feeding program #1.

With your help and continuous support of my Dress Sponsorship program I hope to continue supporting this program of being able to provide at least one great meal and at the same time provide dresses and/or boys sets to deserving disadvantaged kids. That is hitting two birds with one stone in order to make a difference and make this world a better place.
