God Bless Orphanage
This orphanage, called "God Bless" lies in Kartu Village in Zimbabwe and is run by Patricia Shaiso, who does an amazing job at raising and teaching the currently 72 orphans. The children live in and around the village and are supported by the orphanage, but raised in communal families. We spend a few days working on the orphanage's new sewing and seamstress training building to provide a skillset for teenagers that can lead to jobs in adulthood. The plans were drawn up, and a small sewing school was build to teach a handful of orphans the craft of sewing fabrics.
