Practice Makes Perfect


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.

January 2021 Update

Making School Uniforms


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.

Outfits for the Mission Boys


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!?

Christmas Parties

Both the Port-de-Paix and Mole St. Nicolas sewing programs held their annual Christmas parties last week. In addition to some delicious food, each student and staff member received a special gift. They also made the outfits they’re wearing in the photos. Here’s a few photos of the celebrations.
