Erica and Patrick in the Noor Creations' workshop
at the Eastleigh Community Centre
It was a joy today to return to Eastleigh and join the women of Iftin and Noor Creations after our time away in Canada. Patrick and the ladies of Noor have been very busy working on new designs and with new local glazes. They are already gearing up for the busy Christmas markets that will attract local shoppers and tourists in the coming months. We were very impressed by how much their quality of workmanship has improved.

Please continue to pray for the members of Noor as the work through the Muslim fasting month of Ramadan. Not only do they work through the day without any food or drink, but many of the women are expected to rush home at the end of each day to prepare special evening meals to break the fast.

We also want to thank everyone who has been praying for our program officer Laura Muema. Over the past four months, Laura has done an outstanding job in managing the program and encouraging the members of Iftin. The job is not an easy one, yet Laura has truly shone in her leadership role. Please continue to pray for her, all the members of Iftin, and for the refugee community of Eastleigh.
