A Workshop Not Silenced The Opportunity Podcast

    • Non-Profit

The needle on Damaris’ sewing machine never slows down. Up down up down — all day long, all week long, all year long.

But like the needle on her machine, life itself moves up and down. And Damaris, like everyone around the globe, soon suffered the devastating blow of COVID-19.

Damaris only had one option: Pivot. Come up with something creative that could salvage the beautiful thing she had built.

If there ever was a year to spread hope, joy, peace and strength, this is that year. We have collected a little bit of hope from all over the world, and want to share stories and a message of meaning. We trust it will inspire you.

At Opportunity International, our clients are our heroes – they do the heavy lifting day in and day out. In this unprecedented global crisis that is setting poverty gains back significantly, they continue to find new ways to work and provide for their families.

We hope you were encouraged by Damaris’ story.
