What a wonderful thing you are doing for these women!!!

Good for you!! With so much hate and prejudice around, you are stitching a way to understanding. Is there anyone there with expertise in the culture? It would be very good to check on etiquette. Sometimes we well-meaning folks barge in on a culture which sends an awful message that they are not important/valued. (Especially painful when we are the visitors.) I wish I could be there to join in! Let us know how it all goes!

What a wonderful thing to do ... and I'll look forward to hearing/seeing of your GTG.

Perhaps this can go both directions ... and they will be willing to share/teach their needlework to you too!

Thankfully you know that some coming speak English!

Good Luck .. and be sure to let us know what happens. And perhaps post pics? :)

What an amazing project to undertake! I wouldn't have a clue where to start, but I do believe it is outreach like this that can truly change the world we all live in. Please let us know how it goes.
