Lots Of News

Wow!  It has been forever since I posted last, it feels like it!  We have had SO much going on.

*The pattern for our shoe is finally finished, AND we have a tutorial to bring with us to Ndola, Zambia to leave with the ladies!  (Beth Gaffney, our shoe designer ROCKS!)

*We are starting to work on our first shoe order, for a wedding party

*We may have figured out our tire madness.  Just when we THINK we have the right tire to use-we realize it won’t work for various reasons…but we think we are on to something else that might work!

*We had a massive yard sale that took two days to set up and tear down.  Seeing as only half of the Sole Hope stuff even got set out (I won’t say why). We did pretty good in raising some money for Sole Hope…the we also had a yard sale going on for my family’s adoption and to help two of our other team members get to Africa to go with our Sole Hope team.

*We are in the middle of picking up two industrial sewing machines from a woman with a HUGE heart!  They need a little fixing but our Mark (yes, we’ve claimed him;) may be able to fix them.  We are currently working on how to get one to our ladies in Zambia-the other will be left here to make shoes here in the US.

*I got to see the first five pages of our Sole Hope educational book and the illustrations are AWESOME!  By the end of October we should have completed illustrations and we will work on adding the words and the printing process.

*We are working on putting together Project Soul to Sole…stay tuned!  :)
