    Seeds to Sew group to host open houseBY HEATHER FIOREThe Hopewell Sun

    Seeds to Sew, the Hopewell-based nonprofit organization fo-cused on improving the lives ofwomen and girls in disadvan-taged communities through edu-cation and job skills training, willbe hosting an open house at itsnew offices at 14 Mercer St. inHopewell Borough on Friday, Feb.22, from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m.

    Seeds to Sew currently runsprograms in rural Kenya, wherewomen and girls learn skills suchas sewing, beading, weaving andbasic business skills to earnmoney to pay for school fees andto support their families and com-munity, according to founder anddirector of Seeds to Sew, Ellyn Ito.

    The new office space offersthe organization a place to collectfabric donations from the com-munity, facilitate volunteer activi-ties and showcase the handiworkof the Kenyan women and girls inits programs, she said.

    Seeds to Sew collaborates with

    women in Kenya on three differ-ent projects the Enkiteng GivingBags program, the EnkisomaBeads of Hope program and theKiondo Baskets program.

    Ito detailed how the EnkitengGiving Bags program is the orga-nizations flagship and is support-ed by women living in the Trans-mara District in Enoosaen, whocreate and sew the Enkiteng Giv-ing Bags, which are recyclable,

    rectangular bags adorned withribbon and made from a varietyof colorful, donated fabrics al-ternatives to wrapping paper andpaper gift bags.

    We currently have a wonder-

    ful assortment of Enkiteng Giv-ing Bags, which are the reusable,fabric gift bags, Ito said. Manyof the bags are made from fabricdonated by seamstresses in theHopewell and Pennington areas.

    And, of course, we are selling theunique Enkisoma beads and thevery popular Kiondo baskets.

    Aside from all of the EnkitengGiving Bags that are filling thenew offices, Seeds to Sew also has

    an array of Enkisoma beads andKiondo baskets.

    Ito described the Enkisoma

    beads, which come in the form ofwristbands, necklaces, belts anddog collars, and are made byschoolgirls and their mothers inthe Kenyan farming village, as away to earn money to pay directlyfor school fees.

    The Kiondo baskets are wovenfrom natural grass and recycledplastics and are made by a wid-ows group in the Kikuyu villagewhere Seeds to Sew has opera-tions.

    Net proceeds from these threetypes of crafts are distributed di-rectly to participants in the Seedsto Sew programs.

    The income is meaningful forour participants, Ito said. Forexample, the money made fromone Enkiteng Bag is more than awoman might earn in four or fivedays from selling vegetables fromher farm. So, not only is the pur-chase of an Enkiteng Bag an eco-friendly, recyclable alternative towrapping paper, they are a fun

    and easy way to give a gift and itis a gift that gives back tremen-dously to the women who arelearning to sew as part of our pro-gram.

    Progress on redevelopmentResolutions award service contracts in regard

    to Marshalls Corner/Pennytown projectBY HEATHER FIOREThe Hopewell Sun

    At Hopewell Townships com-mittee meeting on Feb. 11, resolu-tions were passed that awardedprofessional service contracts toa handful of organizations tocomplete and/or update variousstudies in regard to the Mar-shalls Corner/Pennytown rede-velopment project.

    Princeton-based real estate de-velopment consultant King Inter-ests, Inc. was hired for advisory fi-nancial and real estate develop-ment services for the project, ac-

    cording to Township Administra-tor/Engineer Paul Pogorzelski.

    They will help us sit downwith Kooltronics and determinethe term sheet, which is the fi-nancial balance sheet that goesthrough what our wants andneeds are, what we put into theproject, and what Kooltronicswants and needs are, he said.

    Along with King Interests, aprofessional services contract

    was also awarded to the Trenton-based planning and design firmClarke Caton Hintz for redevelop-ment planning services.

    Although the committee origi-

    nally proposed to award the con-tract to CCH for a maximum of$25,659, concerns made by boththe committee members and resi-dents resulted in the decision toalter that amount to $5,000.

    The township committee alsorenewed two professional servicecontracts at the meeting.

    The contract awarded to Hamp-ton-based company M2 Associa-tions, Inc., which was previously

    January to assist with their pro-grams, explained how even thesmallest amount of money thewomen in the villages receive fortheir work is life-changing.

    When I get paid, I just feel like

    I deserve it, but, when thesewomen are getting paid, to see theelation on their faces, is some-thing Ive taken for granted, shesaid. For them, when were pay-ing them for the bags, therewere almost tears of joy in theireyes.

    PrudHomme added how theprograms really empower thewomen making the products andgive them a sense of self worth.

    We went there with a lot offabrics and came back with fin-

    ished bags and bracelets that theymade; we brought back so muchmerchandise, she said. Itsamazing how fast they madethese bags. One of the womensewed 200 bags in four days. Theyreally take it seriously and lovethe program. Once they see thatthey can make the bags, its likethem saying, Yea, I have a skill. Ican do this. The programs reallyteach women how to be more con-tributive.

    Along with PrudHomme,HVCHS seniors SummerKochersperger and Anne Witter-schein also contribute to Seeds toSews mission as student ambas-sadors, and have represented theorganization for HVCHS GlobalService Symposium.

    Kochersperger, who made avideo about Seeds to Sew to pres-

    ent at the symposium along witha presentation, detailed how shescurrently helping to get the wordout about the organization atHVCHS.

    Last year, I helped get theword out about Seeds to Sew inthe high school [HVCHS], andnow, Im going to be taking theproducts that the women in theprograms make and Im going totry and sell them in our school

    store, she said.Although its still a work in

    progress, Kochersperger hopesthat this effort will raise addition-

    al funds for, and awareness about,Seeds to Sew.

    If you sit on a school board or mu-

    nicipal governing body, youre en-

    tering the part of the year that

    probably causes you the most

    headaches. Its budget time. Its time to

    do the impossible: provide outstanding

    service for little or no money.

    A few years ago, Gov. Christie madeheadlines and more than a few ene-

    mies when he slashed state funding

    and eventually added a 2 percent cap

    on tax hikes.

    Since then, at least some of the

    money has returned. Later this month,

    the governor will release state funding

    figures for this year.

    But its safe to say that no district or

    town will find itself rolling in dough.

    Governing bodies will continue to face

    decisions that involve reducing or

    holding the line on services and/or

    raising taxes.

    One bright spot some would say

    the only bright spot to come of this is

    that many governing bodies these days

    have made the budget process open to

    the public. Transparent is the watch-

    word today.Its a smart move to involve the pub-

    lic everyone from those who want to

    cut taxes to the bone to those who

    would like to see expanded services.

    When the public is invited in, they

    not only see the difficult choices lead-

    ers have to make, but they also feel like

    they have a voice. Leaders are listening

    to them. Their input is valued. While

    not everyone will be happy with everydecision, at least there is a sense of in-

    clusion and ownership of the

    process.

    We encourage everyone to get in-

    volved with their local budget process-

    es this year. In most instances, there

    will be hearings. Items will be posted

    online. Its easy to offer your sugges-

    tions to the people who eventually will

    make the final decision.

    And, chances are, your feedback will

    be appreciated.

    in our opinion

    Budget timeIts that time of year again when tough decisions have to be made

    Get involved

    Think taxes are too high? Think servic-es have been cut too deeply? Now isthe time to make your voice heard. Itsbudget season, and most local govern-ing bodies have ways to involve thepublic in the decision-making process.So speak up before the final votes are

    counted.

    VOICES Young Composers Project is anopportunity for children to develop theirmusical talents and get positive feedback

    from peers and professional composers.VOICES is dedicated to supporting themusical ideas of young children andyouth, to recognizing each childs effort,and to help create a peer network so youngcomposers have fun sharing and planningfor future pieces.

    The VOICES composition contest cele-brates its 25th year this season. The contestis designed for children ages 5 to 12, withthe support of a parent or music teacher.The process includes a master class withother young composers and their families,socializing with other families with simi-

    lar educational and music focuses, individ-ual music notation sessions with studentsfrom The College of New Jersey, and dis-cussion with and written encouragementfrom an established composer.

    To begin the process, children 5 through

    12 are invited to compose a piece of musicwith a vocal element. This can be for voicealone often the first effort is a simple one

    or two line song. This can be the start of apersonal interest to last a lifetime. Chil-dren who have participated for severalyears may write for a soloist, duet or cho-rus often with piano, guitar or drumparts.

    The music can be written down in anykind of notation, formal or invented. Par-ents, piano teachers and music teachersare invited to support, but not edit, thechilds composition, as children hearthings in their own imaginations different-ly from adults.

    Children do not need to know anything

    about music notation to enter a piece. Achild can compose something, write downthe words, record the music on a cell phoneor other device, and then send the musicand MP3 to VOICES.

    Teachers and families who would like

    their children to participate can submit arecording and three written copies of thechilds music by March 1.

    Entries should include the childs nameand age, assisting adults name, phonenumber, address, and childs backgroundin music and a $12 processing fee to: VOIC-ES Composition Contest, P.O. Box 404, Pen-nington, NJ 08534.

    Email submissions of scanned musicand MP3 files can also be accepted. Formore information, email [email protected] or call our programchair, Shirley Piercy at (215) 598-0783 or(215) 350-0682.

    Children are treated to an informal mas-ter class with other children their age. This

    is followed by a public performance forfamily and friends on April 16. The chil-dren can choose how to perform their piece

    by themselves, by soloists from VOICES,or by the chorus or any combination of theoptions.

    Kids can apply for VOICES Young Composers Project
