Rotary (Nelson, Canada) helped to furnish the Centre and they also bought a good, strong treadle sewing machine, and an industrial machine, as did an American philanthropist.  Second-hand manual machines from the Netherlands, gifts from Camel Productions (Vancouver, Canada),  the Kootenary Quilters, well-wishers, church groups, our dear friends and family have provided initial start-up funding, and have allowed us to develop and to be generous at times to many Zambians in crisis.   The appliqué and embroidery projects are now self-supporting -- generating income that has more than merited our faith and initial donations.
