Embroidery Bangladesh 12th August

The talk by Rubina Porter MBE on the Sreepur Refuge and Orphanage was very well attended for an August meeting. We were treated to  a slide show of the Womens' Refuge in action, and told about the destitute women and orphans who are brought to the centre and taught a trade. Her enthusiasm and dedication to this charity showed through, and we all wanted to buy some of the items that had been made there.

The next meeting is on Tuesday 12th August when we will hear from Rubina Porter MBE, and the title of her talk is "Embroidery Bangladesh". We hope to find out about Sreepur Orphans Village and Womens' Refuge where embroidery is used as therapy.
