How Many Dresses on a Trailer?

  Her excitement is contagious and when her and Suzi met for the first time the passion of each of them, for the children of Malawi, was a beautiful event and very contagious. Rachel O’Neal has formed Little Dresses for Little Girls, and has been sending dresses in small numbers to Malawi in the luggage of others who were traveling there. Then, her story hit the NBC nightly news with Brain Williams, and the number of dresses reaching her in Michigan has exploded.

Upon learning what Rachel is doing we made a trip to Michigan to discuss ways the Malawi Project and Little Dresses for Africa could work together. The meeting came at the perfect moment.

Rachel excitedly told us that dresses are coming into her Michigan home at a breathtaking rate. We saw a great opportunity to work together. Plans are now underway to work out details, and put together the plan for a first shipment of dresses to Malawi. It is estimated this shipment can hold as many as 45,000 dresses.
