Great ideas start always little, but you can see the brightness in them. A couple of months ago, Loren Fawcett (18 year old missionary in Choluteca) started a small project, which consisted of training the women of Casa Hogar to create handicrafts which could be sold locally and to the mission teams that visited Choluteca.
It didn’t take long for the couple of workers to multiply, and for the orders to come in. They are creating aprons, mittens, table cloths, dresses and other sewing items. Very soon they will begin producing school uniforms, not only for the Casa Hogar children but also for the Limon Day Care children, and any others who can buy them.
The idea behind is to provide a decent pay job, but at the same time in an environment close to their homes, and with love and care to improve self steem and dedication.
Let us know what you think, what can sell in your place, we will adapt, create, and improve in order to continue with this project and to hire more workers. Please send your ideas to fawcettplus3@aol.com
