Presentation of Sewing Machine and Bicycle
Art speaks of adept creativity and deep imaginative prowess. We cannot downplay the power and importance of the tools the artist must employ to bring the confluence of beauty in the mind to order in reality. Hence for the writer his pen is his tool and the musician his voice. The life of an artist is not any dissimilar from an artisan hence for the seamstress, the sewing machine is her projector for the images on her mind for covering of the body.
The story of our teen mother’s and orphan girl who are under the arm of the budding hope section of the foundation founded on the 3rd of June by the director of budding hope Mary ifunaiya Mensah who has a heart of undiluted grace that motivates her to push for teen mother’s to be given the second chance to life as well as an opportunity to learn a skill that would empower them not to be at the mercy of any weak minded man who prey on teenagers sexually because they are financially handicapped and also see the skill as medium for these girls to be empowered enough to give their children the best education and support with the basic needs of life as its popularly said that “the love of money is the root of all evil” is not an absolute truth as the nearest inference could also be said that ” the lack of Money is the root of all evil”
It is well known that teenage pregnancy is at its rampant high in Ghana especially the regions at the northern belt with many factors responsible for this, but with the girls in the budding hope fold coming out with story of hope could become advocates to advice the young girl on the dangers of premarital sex.
Four beautiful girls who are seamstresses are beneficiary of the budding hope section of our foundation. Esther Azare , Ndego Marvis , Avoka Ruth and Mbabe all walk daily for about 2km under the Scotching sun of Bawku with a temperature of about 39 degrees. More so, they don’t just trek to work alone they do so with their babies at their back a pathetic scene which would make one sober at such weight placed on the heart of a young girl to shoulder such responsibilities, such a monstrous anomaly. This wad their routine until the day for the presentation of the machines, prior to which we had circulated videos of these girls on our social media handles to solicit for support and gracefully our donor partner’s responded with their concerted efforts to get them their sewing machine.
The very day came for the presentation of the sewing machines, it was an atmosphere of joy and laughter and a clear message written on the faces of the females with an inscription that could well be described by one word “finally”. Due to the benevolence of our donors, they were not only presented with sewing machines but also bicycles to ease their to and fro movement to work. The girls were moved to tears at the kind gesture they had experienced infact they confessed that they never thought in their widest dream would someone show faith in them after they were involved in the ordeal of getting pregnant. they promised to stay focused on their training and shun any temptation to be promiscuous. this makes the scripture Romans 2:5 very experientially relevant that it is the goodness of God that brings repentance.
The practicality of the Love God showed to humanity in Christ is one that believes in others against all odds, and this births better families which is the mitochondria of the society, which is the building block of nation and the fulcrum of the world at large.
Show love to someone undeserving today.
