Dear Desert Fiber Arts,
Would any of your members be interested in a project that helps Mexican students in the primary grades through the university? We are asking weavers to send us sturdy, unused hand- or machine-made fabric/remnants. It may be any color/design and should measure at least eighteen inches by forty inches. The fabric will be sewn into drawstring backpacks (16 inches x 19 inches) and distributed to poor students in Mexico who are being sponsored by Project Amigo [www.projectamigo.org]. This is a charity that supports students from Colima in rural western Mexico so that they can create their own educational opportunities and better their quality of life. Please go to www.srbrown.info/backpacks for more details about the project.
- Thank you.
