learning to cut paper


I do not remember when I learned to cut paper.  Maybe it was in Kindergarten, maybe earlier?  But today was the first day many of our teenage moms in Kampala used a pair of scissors for the first time.  They began learning to cut out sanitary pads.  The group will attempt to sew over 1800 pads in the next 4 months.  The pads will be a gift to the 300 school girls about 4 hours away.  But the process of making these pads will teach our women new skills.  They are excited to be able to give.  I shipped a very large box of flannel fabric for this project.  If you would like to send fabric or money you can leave me a message.   Thank you!
