Week in Review


In honor of Griffin's arrival this week I've been thinking a lot about baby gifts that help children in need.  Give is one of our favorite one for one companies; for each baby blanket sold they give one to a child in need! 

High schoolers in Charlotte are helping orphans in Haiti from their own back yard.  They are creating an aquaponics system to grow vegetables and fish, which they hope to implement in the project in Haiti. 

Another group of students holds a gala to raise fund to build schools in Haiti. 

An inspiring story about breaking the barriers to education foster children face.  Sadly, only 3% of foster children in the US go onto higher education and 50% never graduate from college. 

How textile production in developing countries can help alleviate poverty.  At Tailored for Education we are doing our part to continue this "sewing success."  All of the uniforms we provide are made as close to the school as possible!
