Muzi

Well it’s been an extremely busy couple of weeks. As I showed you last week, the men took down the chapel and I was busy making white fitted sheets. Fortunately for me, the camp for last weekend was canceled so the ladies pitched in and helped for a couple of days. We are making 131 sheets, a bigger job than I had anticipated I should have started sooner.  

As of today, we have 70 finished 👏🏻 good for us. But time is passing so quickly. I’m hoping to be done by the 15th. I’ll say it again, fortunately for me Ellen told me her son, Muzi, can sew anything.  You know how moms are we think our kids can do anything. In this case, she was right he does beautiful work.

Muzi was able to complete 11 sheets today. We worked together he did the stitching and I did the pressing and pining in the elastic. Unfortunately, he’s not sure he’ll be able to help again. I guess we’ll see.

Just a little about Muzi, 22 years old and graduated 4 years ago. He does some web design at night, from midnight to 7 am. That is amazing because he comes from a very poor area without internet in the home.  I know... unheard of. He buys data for his phone and those hours are the cheapest for him to get the best usage for the money.  His hope is to go to University to study design. He has already talked to the school and they told him to come when ever he was ready. He’s ready, but because the family is just making ends-meet he’s having to find work wherever he can get it to save for school.   He’s a real go getter. School is R 5,000 per year. That’s about $350 for us, at least thats with the current exchange. This particular study takes 3 years. I’d love to be able to help him. We’ll see.
