Paper Bead Training

It's paper bead training time! BCDO did the work of getting some of our neediest families together to learn and continue practicing making paper beads. Some of these ladies currently make paper beads and do not need my help, but we are learning new ways to make them as our God is a creative God.

I started my own paper bead sole proprietorship business back in the States after my first trip with BCI in October 2013 as a means of extra mission support. Now I get to work with these ladies watching creative juices flow in hopes of it becoming a trade they can use in creating more income for their families. Our latest fun: learning how to use a crayon to make colorful designs. Here's Dembulit sporting her work!

 

These classes started with me on Thursday, September 25, 2014 and continue every Tuesday and Thursday afternoon. To continue these classes, we will need more supplies. Will you ask the Lord if you get to mail us items that aren't readily available in Debre Zeyit to continue these classes with these women?

 

Items requested:

- Plain white copy paper
- Elmer's glue
- Toothpicks
- Gloss glaze (for sealing) or clear nail polish
- Beading string (both regular and stretchy)
- Permanent markers and/or crayons (for designs)

 

If you can provide any or all of these items, please mail them to:

 

BCDO, P.O. Box 1410
Debre Zeyit, East Shoa
Ethiopia, Africa
