Pippa's work in Uganda

My quilting pal, Pippa Moore of B.C., wrote to tell me she is leaving for Uganda this week to work on her project with 12 rural women, teaching them sewing and quilting. Read Pippa's blog – http://kitambaa.blogspot.com/ which will chronicle the project as it unfolds. The Ugandan women are shown here on the right. Pippa worked with a Canadian-funded HIV/AIDS program for 3 years in Lesotho, and the women and grandmothers she worked with touched her deeply. Pippa says "It feels very right to be going back and doing something, rather than just sitting on my experiences."
Pippa contributed to the The Merville Grannies of Comox Valley, British Columbia, fund-raising event for the Stephen Lewis Foundation last fall. Small quilts were made and auctioned. Pippa's quilt was purchased by the Stephen Lewis Foundation. A book was published photos of all the quilts. If not, it’s called Planting Seeds of Hope.
