			The Mozonte Sewing School Located in a small town in Northern Nicaragua, the school began with a request from a group of teachers in Mozonte who had a dream for youth and young women of their community. By July 1991, our congregation and friends responded with fabrics and funds for the purchase of eight pedal sewing machines, one electric embroidery machine, and other supplies. These were persoanlly delivered in the autumn of that year. Since the school's formation, the students of the Mozonte Sewing School have learned skills enabling them to sew their own clothing as well as clothes for others, uniforms for the town's baseball team, and tradtitional costumes for their Nicaraguan folklorico dancers. Principal Marta Angelina Pastrana keeps in touch with our congregation and expresses Mozonte's gratitude through photos of the graduates as well as gifts of handcrafts and letters for our congregation. The partnership project continues as the teachers in Mozonte recruit and instruct classes, maintain the school's equipment and facilities, while our congregation supports their work with funds. For about $50 a month, the school can support its educational work.
