We have a really special volunteer who fell in love with Rainbows and decided to stay! Gillian Atkins from United Kingdom has been with us for the last 5 years and is huge part of our Sewing and Beading Women's project, doing most of our marketing in order to sell the garments made by the women from the community.

We need more Gill's to help grow this organization,

Thank you Ma Gill (As we call her)
