Undies for Kijji Mission Kenya

About a month ago (a week before Christmas I think) I sold a brand new quilting craft book (Ladies Day out with the Bonnet Girls) from my on-line shop  to someone from South Korea. In fact the buyer wanted more than one copy but I only had one left so yesterday I decided to use the money to buy the remaining 17 undies I needed for the little girls of the Kijji Mission in Kenya. K-mart still had it for $4.00 per pack of 6. I no longer need anyone to sponsor the one-time sponsorship for undies as I have already bought them and have taken down the dresses from my sponsorship website. The two dresses that I sew for this purpose will now be included in the parcel for Easter Distribution under the buyer's name from South Korea. 

Although I have thank the South Korean buyer for making the book purchase, I still want to show my gratitude on this posting and say 'thank you' once again for making the purchase and allowing me to make the undie purchase($12.00). I am now ready to close my parcel for the Kijji Mission Kenya and have Australia Post courier pick it up on Monday for an extra fee then I do not have to lift the parcel and go to the postoffice to send.

Donation Acknowledgement #3 - 01/2016 - Sponsored Dresses from Denise

Yesterday I received sponsorships for three dresses from Denise Scott. My petty postage cash fund which will fund the cost of distributing dresses this year is now starting to rise still quite slowly but surely and I hope and keeping my fingers crossed that all costs I incur to sustain this campaign will come from my Dress Sponsorship program. Here are the 3 dresses sponsored and will be included in the Easter Distribution in March.

Denise, thank you for your generosity and believing in this campaign. It is much appreciated.

Donation Acknowledgement #2 - 01/2016 - Undies from Monika

I received this parcel of 10 undies for girls and 5 for boys from Monika Osvald today. Second donation for the year 2016. One pack of 5 girls undies size 6 to 8 will be allocated to the Kijji Mission of Kenya. The two other packs will be allocated for future distributions.

Monika, thank you so much for your generosity and thoughtfulness. Your support of Dress A Girl Australia's campaign to make this world a better place for disadvantaged kiddies is very much appreciated. Thank you.

First donation acknowledgement for the year 2016

It is time to acknowledge donations made for the first two collection projects for 2016. The collection for the Kijji Mission Kenya is very limited and mostly sewn by me from donated fabrics received the past few years. I make it a point that for this particular distribution which I schedule every year, at the beginning of the new year in fact comes from fabric donations to ensure that even those who donate fabrics are given the chance to make a difference (although I am not accepting fabric donations at this time). I needed t-shirts for the girls and this was generously provided by Monika Osvald who does a lot of t-shirt sewing. 
1) 32 t-shirts and one pair of leggings from Monika Osvald -

2) Five dresses from Julie Nielsen in time for the collection of the first official distribution project for the year 2016 for Easter distribution.

Thank you for your donations. Much appreciated.
