Refugee Sewing Society
The women of the society are refugees who have escaped genocide. They have fled from many countries -- Sudan, Somalia, Rwanda, Burundi, Burma, Bhutan, and others.
Their aim is to find healing through creative arts and crafts.
Their dream is to build self-sustaining businesses that will allow them to work at home while caring for their children.
Refugee women from war-torn nations gather each week at Clarkston Community Center in Atlanta, Georgia. While sewing, knitting, crocheting, beading and embroidering, they share joys and sorrows
Many of them have lost husbands, fathers, and children to war. The women have endured great suffering, but believe their lives have purpose and hope.
