The SOTC sewing mentors:
The Shadow of the Cross’s International Friendship Center (IFC) conducts “Make, Take and Donate” sewing classes for ESL participants soon! The IFC offers sewing lessons to those interested in developing skills for future self-employment or seamstress jobs. All items will be made by all participants at same time. Some items will be personal and some will be for community servant projects.
Overview


The dedicated SOTC IFC room for the ESL and cultural program will be used for hosting international and domestic food and social events because of its proximity to the kitchen. The educational purpose is to allow practice with following and receiving instruction using English language. In addition, the group will participate in Bible studies and smaller educational activities (games and workshops).
We plan to have a volunteer lead a class using a book that introduces American culture in a fun way. The books are already donated.
