Last July we sent 53 dresses to Zimbabwe! They went to a very poor orphanage! Thanks you to everybody that helped make the dresses. Your greatly appreciated. We did get a few pictures back. Enjoy!

I love this picture! On the right is a bright "Dress of Hope."

Dresses of Hope Going to Malawi

This week some "dresses of hope" are going with my friend, Leta, to Malawi, Africa. Malawi is a small, skinny country in the southern part of Africa. Leta is a college student from Indiana Wesleyan University and is traveling there to work with orphans and kids in poverty. Please pray for Leta and her team. Hopefully I will have pics to post when she returns:)

A Video That Warms My Heart

I think this video is so cool! Seems like they truly know God. They are orphans, living in complete poverty yet have so much joy and faith in God. They're definitely singing to their ultimate father, God. Sometimes I think that in America we have so much stuff,food,clothing etc. that we rely on things on earth to help us through our days, not really giving our hurts, troubles and decisions up to God. In Haiti they have very little but some seem to lean on God more. They get it! They understand him. Check out this video! :)

Dresses of Hope In Port-Au-Prince, Haiti

Last February, the dresses were delivered to an orphanage in Port-Au-Prince, Haiti. Our friend that traveled delivered the dresses said that they love them. She also said that they loved picking out there dresses. I'll post this later but she also captured a video of a few of the girls singing to god in there new dresses. Thanks again for every single thing each one of you has done with Dresses of Hope to clothes girls in poverty. Every effort you've done whether it was sewing a dress, coming to a sewing day or praying for a little girl that got a dress you made, remember you are doing it for God. I also wanted to share with you that we have made over 400 dresses since November 2009!

Change of Plans

Wanted to let everybody know that the dresses for India are actually going to orphans in Port-Au-Prince, Haiti this week. The person that was going to deliver them to India had a change of plans and is in Haiti.

Pictures From Caracol Haiti!

We sent 75 dresses to Caracol! They picked some of the poorest kids in the community to come and get dresses. Also the boys got shorts so both the girls and the boys got clothes. Thanks again for praying and making this possible. :)

Dresses of Hope in Kenya

Recently, a friend of our family's went on a short term mission trip to Kenya to work with orphans. Before she went on the trip she wanted to learn how to make dresses so she could sew them for girls in poverty! Here are a few of the girls wearing the dresses.
