Why pillowcase dresses± Many children in the tribe live in very poor circumstances, making them targets for human traªckers. A well-dressed girl is assumed to be cared for and protected by adult guardians, so the dresses help to keep them safe. e Global Education Committee collected pillowcase donations and set up sewing machines in the Horace Sisk building for two days to make the dresses.
