Happy News. We have a teacher for the workshop in Kampala. She was an orphan from a genocide in The Congo. She was taken to an orphanage in France and trained to be a tailor in Paris. She is the divorced mother of 3 girls. And will consider Teen MOPS her family because all her family has been lost. 6 women will begin tailoring school next Monday. It is two years of training. 4 more women want to learn to tailor but still need sponsorship.
Here is the list of our women that need sponsors. https://teenmopsuganda.blogspot.de/2017/10/we-need-sponsorers-for-following-women.html

Other good news-
Olive got a sponsor for the next year. We have not found her a school yet. She wants to learn some kind of food or hotel business. We need to nail down what she wants to learn. But for the next 3 months, she will be overseeing the soap business in the workshop. We are ordering giant soap molds that can make 60 bars at a time. The goal is to make 180 bars of soap per day Monday to Friday. That is 3600 bars of soap per month. And if they can find a market for the soap, it should generate the income they need to pay for the sewing teacher and the hairdressing school for the other 9 women that are waiting to go to school. Since Olive burnt her leg she has been unable to find a job. Her son Jr eats well at school. He has a sponsor for school. But Olive is starving. Now she will have money for food and for rent. We have nursing mothers living on one bowl of porridge a day. We do thank you for considering sponsoring our women.

Finally pray for Juliet she's in labor right now. She is 18 years old. She is the one who manage to save 50 dollars towards a hospital delivery. We gave her the missing 100 dollars. Imagine the discipline it took to save 50 dollars when you make just 2 dollars a day. I'm anxious to hear how it is going. I will update as we hear. She wants to study tailoring. She is also waiting to be sponsored.
