11月23日VOA聽力：肯尼亞為教宗制造僧衣
Pope Francis has a full schedule alone in Kenya. Toensure the pope is properly attired, the KenyaConference of Catholic Bishops asked the Dolly CraftSewing Project to make the pope's vestments, thegarments he will wear during the various ceremonies.
Sarah Ndungu shows the two chasubles they madefor the Pope,one featuring Masaai beadwork, and another more traditional one.
I would like him to choose this one, with the African touch.
Alice Ngundi was asked to make the chasuble with Sister Ida Lagonegro. It took four days todesign and construct.
I just looked at that material and I saw that I can make something African, yeah, so I designedsomething which was helped by sister. And we came together, me and her and we brought outsomething nice.
The workshop was also asked to make the majority of the clothing for clergy attending papalfunctions in Kenya that includes 60 chasubles , 615 albs and 2000 stoles.
The 30 or so workers have been stitching, embroidering and ironing about 14 hours a day, 6days a week, since the beginning of October.
But Ndungu says the extra work is worth it.
And even when we are doing it, we are doing it with a good heart because we have never hadsuch an opportunity.
The pope is scheduled to visit their community, Kangemi, on his last day in Nairobi.
And maybe someone will tell him, these are the people who made for you the vestment, maybe,so that at least he will send his blessing. That is what we wish.
But even if this wish doesn't come true, these tailors are proud to have dressed the pope.
