INTERNATIONAL OUTREACH PROJECT AND SPEAKER

GFWC Pasco Juniors focused on International Outreach projects in April, We  were  excited to host a guest presenter, Cindy McFadden from Fish Company.  It is a non-profit which helps to fund orphanages in several parts of the world, including Thailand, Uganda, and Tanzania. They raise money through donations, but also by making and selling hand-made gifts. All of the items they use to make the gifts are donated, and 100% of the proceeds from the sales of these items go to funding the orphanages. She spoke about some of the ways in which they help these children, and directed our club members with a hands-on project of cutting out material following a pattern for the group to sew into handbags to sell.
