The Port-de-Paix and Mole St. Nicolas sewing students have been busy this spring learning how to make vests. Guerby, pictured below, is a student in the Port-de-Paix sewing program and he took the assignment a step further and made a pair of matching pants. We love the students' enthusiasm and creativity.
Thank you again for your continued support of the sewing students! Your support equips these students with a practical skill that they can use and enjoy for the rest of their lives.
This year, both the Port-de-Paix and Mole St. Nicolas sewing classes have been busy making pants. This isn't their first time making pants, but because pants are more difficult to make than some other types of clothing, the teachers wanted to dedicate more class time so the students can sharpen their skills. Here's a few photos of the students with their newest creations.
A couple of notes about the photos below:
The group photo is of the young men in the Port-de-Paix sewing class. They made both their pants and uniform shirts.
The next two photos are of Edlor-son (brown outfit) and Jeantilus (floral shirt) who are very talented students in the Mole St. Nicolas sewing class. They made the beautiful outfits that they're modeling.
There's a lot of talent in the sewing programs! Please join us in praying that the Lord continues to bless the students and opens doors for them to continue using their sewing skills after graduation.
The Lord has blessed us with donors from across the United States who have generously filled our warehouse with fabric and sewing supplies. Now we're looking for volunteers to help us pack and sort the supplies for our annual cargo shipment. Just click the link below to learn how you or your small group can get involved.

As part of September's "Give For Good Louisville" campaign, we raised funds so the Mole St. Nicolas sewing students could make school uniform shorts and skirts for children living in Northwest Haiti Christian Mission's Children's Homes.
The fundraiser was a win-win for both our sewing students and the school children. Our sewing students got the opportunity to share their sewing skills while helping children in their community, and the children benefited from new school uniforms. Here's a few photos from the Mole St. Nicolas campus. Just look at those smiles! Special thanks to everyone who donated to this special campaign.
While the Mole St. Nicolas sewing students were busy making school uniforms, the Port-de-Paix sewing students were making outfits for the Waves of Mercy Mission Boys. These handsome young men are former street boys who now live full-time at the Mission. The sewing students wanted to do something nice for the boys so they made these outfits for them. Don't they look sharp!?
