Threaded Dreams
Threaded dreams is a non-profit organisation which reaches out to teenagers who have lost one or both parents to serious illness and who live with siblings, grannies or aunts. The project is run by 10 adults and aims to provide each of 35 teens with a small income, to teach them responsibility and most importantly self-worth.
We meet with them one afternoon a week after school, and each week each child is provided with enough beads to make four items of jewellery of one design. We show them how to make one item and they then have to finish the other three items and return them the following week.
Once a month the children pack their jewellery using a card with their photo and name printed on which we then send to England or America to be sold.
For more information or if you want to get involved please contact Mike and Barbara Thomas on 011 908 5715.
