Dora
Dora is an accomplished knitter, empathetic and so kind to the knitters! She goes to Hogares Club Michin every weekday and holds knitting classes for teens. She is 100% committed to Friends of Colombian Orphans' mission, which is to provide youth at risk skills that will guarantee them the ability to make good livings. Dora is a couture knitter who does not need patterns to create exquisite garments! She is helping us develop a line of baby clothing that will eventually be sold online and in Bogota.
Translation for the video:
"Good afternoon, my name is Dora Emilia Diaz, the instructor for the knitting program here in Colombia. Currently we have 5 girls well advanced in the program. They are focusing on baby lines of clothing. This program in very important for them as a life project. Their hope for the future is to acquire advanced education in knitware design. Another alternative for their future is to become small business owners as part of the knitware production line that is a very important industry in Colombia. As business owners or members of a co-op, they will be contributing to the well being of others in our country."
