Mothers Mission Updates

Hi the Ladies had have a busy week, helping in the nursery when ever they can, working at the Sodaemun Community Centre making japchae and chili radish and serving & delivering meals to senior citizens and in the afternoon working with children in the after school program doing face painting and playing games. At the Sodaemun Community Centre people donate their time like hairdressers, the money made goes to ESWS so Kelly & Sharn had there hair done while they were there.
At the Bazaar it was as busy as past years, the Australia honey was a huge hit, 500gram sold for about $10.00 Aus dollars , people were ringing ESWS on thursday asking if they come buy more, we could only get 60 bottles over this year. The Bazaar only made bit over $6000.00 aus dollars , which is down about 50% on last years result.
Which is a pity considering how much work went into the bazaar, but ESWS still benefits, ESWS are doing it tough at the moment with nearly 100 babies in the nursery
and caring for 120 birthmothers who are due any time. so any help would be welcomed.

Today is a big one , today is the day the ladies hold the bazaar, all the items collected and sent over the last 12 months are sold at a large market like event, Koreans will travel from far and wide to get items not normally available in Korean. this will be a busy day for the ladies, bazaar starts at 11:00am Korean time { 12 noon Qld time} and runs until 8:00pm tonight Korean time. last year there was six ladies, this year there is only four, so they will be run off their feet, wish them all the best for today.
