Twelve girls from the fifth-grade Girl Scout Junior troop at Camino Pablo Elementary School earned their Bronze Award on April 10 by sewing dresses out of pillowcases for underprivileged children around the world. This is the highest honor a Girl Scout Junior can achieve. Each girl spent 20 hours sewing dresses, which will benefit the organization "Dress a Girl Around the World." The girls began their project in June of 2014 and accomplished their goal over a 10-month period. Some girls did not know how to sew at all, while others were more familiar with the process. They shared ideas, swapped stories and helped each other along. The troop provided 58 dresses, which will be sent to girls in Afghanistan, Costa Rica, Congo, El Salvador, Haiti, Mexico, Indonesia, Ukraine, Uganda and Zimbabwe.
