The Last Few Weeks

Thanks to the recent donation of an electric sewing machine (from Australia), I've spent lots of time sewing lately; repairing orphan and hospital clothes and sundry items, sewing labels on baby blankets, making skirts and hospital scrubs. The only other sewing machines around are treadle  ones that only do a straight stitch, so it's great to be able to zigzag. I've still been doing some adult English teaching and tutoring at risk students.

I'm constantly amazed at the strength of the local women. And they're amazed I can't carry anything on my head.
