Teacher Supplies in Our Totebags

Our very last closing ceremony is scheduled for September 1st at the Rusestii Noi schools. I made 51 totebags with various designs on them and filled them with teacher supplies like paper, chalk, erasers, rulers, pencils, markers, scissors, etc. The teachers here have to furnish all their own supplies at their own expense and they make so little money that they will be very blessed to get these supplies.
Once again my sewing machine went on a funk just as I was finishing up the embroidery. And once again Hripseme came through as my hero and finished up the bags. She did a terrific job. She has a little business in her home and this job helped her to afford to go home to Armenia to see her mother.
