A mother’s persistence. Seizing opportunity, changing her family’s future!

A Moment for MCC:
 
Rina Deuri had a dream that drove her. It pushed her through days of dipping sheaths of handmade paper into vats of dyes whose colors she carefully mixed to a specific hue. It fueled her through evenings when she made paper products at home for extra income.
“It was my target,” she says. “That I make my children educated.” Today, her son Anjan is a dentist and her daughter Rina is a nurse.
 
MCC began the Biborton Handmade Paper project in 1993 as one of a number of MCC job creation projects in Bangladesh. The aim was to provide sustainable income for rural women and to empower them — a great need in a region where incomes were low, hunger frequent and education most often out of reach.
 
There are a variety of ways to support this project. You can give online. You can give by your offering. If by cash, designate the envelope “MCC Bangladesh.” If by cheque, make the cheque payable to the church and designate “MCC Bangladesh” on the memo line/envelope. By e-transfer, put “MCC Bangladesh” in the message box. Any questions? Our treasurer Lorraine would love to help.
