You are either here because you know someone who is traveling with us to Uganda this summer, you have supported Sewing Hope during the past 2 years, or you are just curious to see what we're doing...No matter how you got here, thanks for coming to our blog.
Sewing Hope is a program within the non-profit Fount of Mercy which provides vocational training to the women in several Ugandan communities. On July 2, our first team will leave for Uganda....followed on July 25 by our second team. We will be updating this blog every few days throughout our trip so that our amazing and numerous supporters can see our work and what their generosity has gone towards. We are able to go to Uganda with tons of supplies, well-prepared classes, and excitement because of those of you who came to our event in April or gave money or supplies since then. We can't thank you enough and hope to show you how important your donations are in the lives of these Ugandan women and the children they care for.
About Me
- Tara and Grace
- United States
- We are an American girl and a Ugandan man, making a life which spans from the mountains of Asheville, NC to the shores of the Nile in Jinja, Uganda. We share Sugarcane Studios, a small business which combines my skill for custom sewing and our passion for all things African. When we got married, Grace said to me (Tara) that our marriage would be like sugarcane...getting sweeter and sweeter as you bite each segment. So far, he was right...despite the obstacles, it is getting sweeter and sweeter as we go. This blog is a place for us to share our work and our story...where we came from, how we came together, where we are going, and how we see things differently along the way. Come here for bits of our stories, our families, our work, and our passions. Not sure how we will bring it all together...in this blog or in real life...but that is what makes it interesting.
