To A New Year!

 From a devastating and tiring year, we come to a new time. We hope everyone had a good Christmas holiday despite the differences to the usual, and we wish all the best for those still struggling. With the new year, we hope for the virus to pass quickly, people to recover, and for all to stand strong. It is a difficult time for everyone and we wish all the best in the new year. We thank those who have supported us in the last years and may the year bring many many good things your way!

Quick shoutout to our model! Thank you for all the support and the impromptu shoot, all the best from Pursuit for Sanyu

 

Teenage Suicide in USA

 47,173 Americans died of suicide in 2017, making it the 10th leading cause of death in the USA 1. It’s the 3rd largest cause of teenage deaths, only falling short of accidents and homicide 2.

Suicide doesn’t discriminate. Anyone of any gender, age, race or socioeconomic status might feel suicidal at any point in their lives – even if they “have it all” or appear to be happy from the outside.

However, teenagers are specifically at risk for suicide.

Update On Raising Awareness for Mental Health Campaign

After talking to the team, they have all agreed that they are still very much interested in doing the tour and would do it as soon as possible. While no one can give an exact timeframe due to the virus, everyone is still invested in seeing this campaign take off. The team members themselves are all well and good, everyone is practising social distancing and following the guidelines properly. 

The team is still accepting donations on the GoFundMe page and looking for more people willing to share their stories. If you would like to share your story send us an email or send us a message on our Facebook page. Keep well, and stay safe everyone. 

    

Saving Water

 One good thing about all the thunderstorms we are having is how much water we are able to save. Every time it starts raining we put whatever we can to collect water outside.

Cold Weather and Picking Up Carpentry

Cold weather has driven us to pick up more firewood for hot water and inadvertently caused us to pick up carpentry. Having more time on our hands has already driven us to invent new things in the tailoring workshop, now we are looking at carpentry. While we don't have most of the tools to make more advanced items we use the little we have to build and make small items. Although we always wanted to go into carpentry at one point, not only for building new things but also as a learning opportunity for the kids, we planned to do this much later once we were better equipped.

    

Tailoring

 Due to all the newfound time during the situation, we have been able to come up with more designs and work on some cool projects with the kids during their free time. Here are the pictures of some of the things we have made so far.
