The Port-de-Paix sewing students graduated with great fanfare on Saturday, August 21, 2021. Approximately 150 guests came to the “Church on the Mountain” to participate in the festivities.

The sewing class planned the entire graduation ceremony and reception themselves. They made all of their clothes, including their gowns and the orange outfits they wore under their gowns. They even incorporated a special fashion show to illustrate their sewing skills. The beautiful ceremony was followed by a large buffet-style reception. This was a special day the students and their families will remember forever.

Thank Yous

First, we praise and thank the Lord for all He has done and continues to do for the sewing programs! There have been many more challenges these past three years than in years past, but the Lord has carried us through. Lamentations 3:22-23 NIV:

“Because of the Lord’s great love we are not consumed,
for his compassions never fail.
They are new every morning;
great is your faithfulness.”

Special thank you to Professor Michelle for faithfully teaching another group of students how to sew. Now these students are equipped with a skill that they will have for the rest of their lives.

Lastly, we want to thank you, our dear friends and supporters, for all of your love, prayers, and support throughout the years. We love and appreciate you!
