From California to Ireland, British Columbia to Missouri, Colorado to Wisconsin, thank you for donations to the AIDS Orphan Sewing Project in Bukoba, Tanzania.
Back on May 31, I asked if you could help me raise $100 in 22 days for this special cause that I support once a year with a special fund raising effort. On June 23, in Fond du Lac, Wisconsin, a group of very dedicated and hard working volunteers saw the Fourth Annual Tanzanian Trunk Show bloom from days of setup and months of planning.
I was especially thrilled to present a surprise check to Sister Stella Storch who is our USA liaison to the AIDS Orphan Sewing Project in Tanzania. Your donations and contributions from family and friends brought the total up to $500!
Sister Stella commented that she was thrilled and excited to be able to add this tremendous gift to whatever the trunk show was going to make to benefit the AIDS Orphan Sewing Project.
She said she didn’t know how she was ever going to thank all of you, and I said that it’s already taken care of.
