CUP COATS & PINGO

Today, I spoke with our Liberian Project Manager, Jeremiah Burgess (www.shifsd.org) and Anita the Head Seamstress for our Liberian Women’s Sewing Cooperative (LWSC). I was able to call Monrovia through a very easy to use international calling service called Pingo (www.pingo.com).  If you are in need of a way to make international calls from your cell phone, my research shows this service to be the cheapest around and it makes calling Monrovia as easy as calling your next door neighbor.  

So, work at the LWSC will soon begin and we hope to have our first shipment of cup coats arrive in 30 to 60 days.  If you are wondering what a cup coat is, check out (www.cupcouture.com) for a more expensive version of what the Liberian women will be making.
