It was humbling to watch the Dutch Ambassador Barbara van Hellemond interact with our women and children and to listen as the women shared some of their stories.

We are excited to share that this week, the women of Creative Hands and a group of Roma women from the Petalouda Education Program, led by our dear friend Sarah Wheway, will be participating in a Natural Dyeing Workshop.

Lately at Creative Hands, we have been focusing on trying new patterns—designs we have never attempted before. I have been so encouraged throughout this process. I had nothing to do with how the women set up the looms; instead, I simply presented the designs and have been amazed by what they have been able to accomplish.
