The houses in the refugee camp did not have electricity. But this family had made a very effective sewing machine out of part of a bike and elastic chords. They had cemented the bicycle wheel into the floor and one of the children seemed to have the job of turning the wheel by pushing the pedals. The chords linked into the sewing machine – and presto! The sewing machine was fast and allowed the daughter in the family to embroider large pieces of material. This was one of the main ways the family made money to survive now they have been forced from their war-torn village.
