06/21/13:   I will be checking in with Olive Oliveros, Upper Javier Pre-K school teacher, routinely for updates regarding the Pre-K school activities and the feeding program which St Stephens UMC is sponsoring.  The construction work for the Sewing Center should be near completion within the week or so, if not already.   I hope to have updates of the Sewing Center and also photos of the women beginning to sew again.  

A special Thank You for all those that contributed to the Sewing Center's construction project.

Ka-Ricah and I previously discussed the opportunity for the women to sew floor mats at the competitive market price, and buyers have been identified.  This gives the sewers additional options contributing to the work program.  I will followup with Olive to check that she has arranged for the box of non-cotton material at Harris Memorial College to be delivered to Upper Javier Sewing Center so the women can begin designing and sewing the floor mats.
