The building is still in the planning stages -- projected to be built within the year in Grand Goave, Haiti. Construction funds have been donated from an estate and I (Jan) had the privilege to be ready to jump in and volunteer us for the provision of the quilts! It excited me immediately!
There is almost a year to accomplish the quilt project , but to begin with funds are needed to purchase the materials. There has so far been donated $500 towards the overall need, but I estimate we need another $1500-$1700 to cover the expenses. I believe I've estimated high, so any extra could be used to purchase sheets and pillows.
Following fund raising, we'll need seamstresses -- cutting the fabric and batting, then sewing and tying. The work can be done at BCC or at home -- whatever works best!
Please pray about how you might participate and what ideas you might have for resources (materials or discounts -- JoAnn's corporate turned us down). This is totally new territory for many of us, but we know God is totally in it!
Hope to hear from "you" soon!!
