Sewing Club Making Weighted Bibs for Infants at MUSC Children's Hospital

 
Bibs 4 Babes
(MUSC Weighted Bibs)

The Story of the People of Sarajevo
 
What happened?
 
Bosnian War 1992-1995 - Serbians,
Croatians, and Bosnian leaders believed
their people could not live together
Milton Wolf was a Jew who reached out
to a Muslim in need of visas, medical
help, and a new home. Milton wolf did
not stop until he made it happen
 
Sarajevo
 
During this war, there was a synagogue in the Bosnian War
Zone- La Benevolencija
Many Jew refused to take sides and were saving the
Muslims and Christians
There (synagogue), no matter what religion people were,
everyone was equally as friendly and helpful to each other
The helpers (La Benevolencija) at the synagogue arranged
“rescue convoys out of the city”
Zeyneba Hardaga, a muslim who saved a Jewish neighbor
during the Holocaust, was leaving Bosinia and met Milton
Wolf
 
What we do
 
Our group (including our school’s sewing club) makes weighted bibs for the
Medical University of SC (MUSC) Children's Hospital. We make weighted bibs for
infants who need comfort after surgery, and we are the only group making them.
We have also made instructions for making these weighted bibs, and we hope to
gain more volunteers and make a positive impact (even if small) on our
community.
 
 
Connection
 
Like La Benevolencija, our Buist
Sewing Club is made of students
from different religious
backgrounds, races, sizes,
political ties, and genders
 
AND IT DOES
NOT MATTER!
What matters is that we
all have a common
goal.
 
Serving Communities
 
Milton Wolf
Proactive in benefitting the town
of Sarajevo
“You did not abandon
the Jews, we’re not
going to abandon you.”
-Milton Wolf in response to Zeyneba
Hardaga
 
 
Buist Sewing Club
MUSC Children’s Hospital sees direct
benefits through our direct volunteer
efforts
“Your generosity has helped MUSC
Children’s Hospital Volunteer Services
continue to make a difference in the
lives of patients and families we serve.”
-Melissa Kubu, Manager of Volunteer
Services for MUSC
 
The Problem
 
MUSC Children’s Hospital serves over 137,000 children on average per year
There aren’t enough hands at MUSC to give full attention to infants
The weighted bibs our sewing club produces provide the infants with comfort
Weighted bibs also help promote the blood circulation in infants post
circulatory surgery
 
Ms. Kubu is MUSC’s Volunteer manager
and our main inside communication with
MUSC. She has been extremely helpful
through our community service process.
She helped us with:
Information
Education
Motivation
Networking
Follow-up

Our School
Mentor
 
Ms. Howe
 
Ms. Howe is our 8th grade Science
Teacher at Buist Academy. With her help
we founded the Buist Academy Sewing
Club “Spinner (ettes)”. Ms. Howe
volunteers her time sewing bibs for
MUSC, and she has inspired us to do the
same.
She helped us by being our:
Club Facilitator
Sewing Instructor
MUSC Connection
 
Solving The Problem
 
First, we had to learn how to sew the bibs
Our Sewing Club began with 6 members
We met once a week and grew our club to 13 members
We became experts in sewing and constructing weighted bibs
We created an assembly line and enjoyed the comradery that sewing brought
to our group weekly
GOAL:  75 Bibs+
 
Tackling the Root of the Problem
 
When we visited Ms. Kubu, she said we were the only reliable group providing
weighted bibs to MUSC’s infant department
We wanted to change this!
So we decided to create instructions for the weighted bibs so ANYONE can
make them
Ms. Kubu uploaded our written instructions on MUSC’s volunteer web page

Conflicts
&
Concerns
 
A new member joined
We ran out of supplies multiple
times
Our sewing club is comprised
of 8th grade students about to
graduate
Only one of us has a fully
functional sewing machine at
home
 
Motivation
 
One of the best things that happened to
us was getting to meet Ms. Kubu
Hearing that our small act of kindness
touched so many motivated us to WANT
to do more
We exceeded our goal of 75+ bibs
Her correspondence (shown to the left)
was extremely gratifying
We are a small group of 13 year olds, yet
we truly felt like we were making a
difference
 
Reflection
 
We can ALL do our part!
 
La Benevolencija helped their
community by uniting people and
disregarding race and religion
Milton Wolf helped evacuate
Zeyneba Hardaga, a muslim, who
had previously saved a Jewish
neighbor
MUSC helps thousands of
children, and our diverse Sewing
Club is giving back to them

Our Buist Sewing Club, inspired by the unity during the Bosnian War, creates weighted bibs for infants at MUSC Children's Hospital. These bibs provide comfort and aid in circulation post-surgery, benefitting over 137,000 children annually. Through our diverse group, we aim to make a positive impact on our community, mirroring the unity and kindness seen at La Benevolencija during the war in Sarajevo.
