Amazing how kind acts are passed on. I recently started work at a school in a very low socio- economic area. I teach textiles, and students were expected to bring in their own fabric. Many were unable, and one student brought in a bed sheet to cut into boxer pants, another a small hand dyed table cover.I mentioned my concerns to a friend and within days I had a call from her Aunt, a beautiful local nun. She had a bag of fabric for my students and introduced me to a local organization that was also able to assist. It was an organization that helped refugees resettle, and they had more fabric donated to them than they could use.
I picked up the fabric and now have enough to supply students for the year. The smiles upon the faces of the young people are something that warms my heart and makes me so grateful.
