While these massive order of pads has been quite an intense
focus for Belekria, it hasn’t really stopped them from completing other smaller
jobs. The women have been good at
delegating roles, so one of them is responsible for mending jobs that come
in. She will serve the customer and do
the mending then get back into the pad factory line.
Another woman is in charge of keeping up with the lumber
rolls. I'm not actually sure if I’ve
mentioned these before, but a lovely lady from NZ has a physiotherapy practice
here in Dili and she sells lumber rolls.
She has been getting Belekria to sew them since Jan and tends to buy
5-10 a month. They have even been taking
extra work home with them in order to stay on top of things, so I have been
impressed by their dedication.
They are always making school uniform sales and
adjustments, as well as whipping up a few extra items to try and sell at markets.
