(Pictures of this post are of the beginning of the tasks of tye dying the uniforms)

As the preparation continues for the soon to be opened Nazareth House Apostolate school in Kabala, generous friends abroad have been contributing immensely to meet the 2 sets of uniforms needed for each student for the first academic year. A choice of green, white and blue representing the Sierra Leone National Flag was chosen to be the wearing attire for our precious children. To make it much easier and less expensive, we here at St. Laurence House, with the aid of Foday, a Tye Dye Specialist, we did it in our own way with the factory right at St. Laurence house and it we must say, they turned out quite well.

AS Foday was tearing off the huge pieces to yards, Kadijah was busy boiling up some hot water to mix the starch and ink. Whilst Foday was wrapping of the materials to meet the green, white and blue colour, I was busy washing the first set. With Lucy trying to dry the already processed material in the sun, Ann Marie was busy fixing lunch for us all. Simba and ROO kept messing around making it easy and fun for us all. It was a big mess at St. Laurence house for the last two days but it work out well and everybody seems to like it. Thanks to Guma Water Company for giving us enough water to do all this exercise. See pictures…………

We are still in need of more donations to provide for all of our students. Thanks to you all who had contributed so far and we hope others will want to collect the rest very soon. We don’t any child to be left without a uniform.

HAVE A BLESSED DAY.

James.

Once the dye has been poured onto the fabric, it then must be washed. Kadijah and James are doing this…. and hanging it on the compound walls of St. Laurence House.

While the uniforms are being created and St. Laurence House is being covered in blue and green (including Simba’s (the dog)feet, I thought I’d add a few more of the pictures of the Presidential visit in Kabala last weekend.

The pictures are of the village Paramount Chiefs as they are waiting to meet with the President and shake his hand.

James in Freetown reports to me early this morning that he has purchased the material for some of the uniforms (as we continue to collect for the remainder – $25 buys 2 uniforms per child). He and his family are dying the material the mingled colors of the Sierra Leone Flag (blue, green & white) today. He promises pictures of this activity. We are making progress, please continue to spread the love, tell your friends, co-workers, family…invite them to be a part of this great work.
