Sharon took 50 hand made dolls and 1200 hand made dresses to Haiti in February this year and handed them out to orphaned children ...

..... she will be returning next January 2013 and her goal is 1000 dolls!

"On our last trip we taught 21 women to sew on crank singer sewing machines. We furnished them with all the supplies to start a business to  feed their families." Sharon

After seeing these beautiful photos I truly believe she will reach her 1000 dolly goal ... however as you all know that the children of Haiti hold a special place in my heart ... so I really do hope we can help too....
