Greetings, Susi, Thank you for your message and for filling us in on the good work you do. Unfortunately, we are not currently initiating any international shipments of sewing machines. You may want to research charitable groups that are working in your area–groups which would have the means to help you at this time. All the best, Margaret
Hi. Your program sounds wonderful . Congratulations on your growth and success. How would I determine if it’s available in the Dayton, Ohio area? If not available, how might I start a project?
Hi and thanks, Debi,
If you’d like to communicate more about starting something in your area, you are welcome to email me at margaret@thesewingmachineproject.org
