We have had several fund raisers in the past few weeks. All of which have been fun and pretty successful! First, my sweet friend had a Thirty-One fund raiser for us. Thank you so much for all of the friends who ordered to support us! Then, Chann and Niles (the husband of another family who is adopting - www.cincomariposas.com) played at Sayago's. I taught the Sayago's son several years ago, and they have been so kind to encourage and support us by allowing the guys to play and giving us a portion of the night's sales! (Like them on Facebook!) Again our friends and family gave generously! The Lord continues to use His faithful followers to provide the funds that we need at just the right times! Our current goal is $850. We are a little more than halfway there!
Here's how you can help! We are now selling jewelry and bags from Africa. The Sparrow Fund has a fund raising opportunity that solely supports adoption. First, the beads and bags are made by an African woman named Mary. She is a refugee living in Kenya. She is twice widowed and has 9 biological children. She has also adopted 7!!!!! The Sparrow Fund gives her an opportunity to sell her items in the states at fair trade value. We buy her items, and the Sparrow Fund sets the price of what we sell to then benefit our adoption! ALL proceeds benefit adoption! The necklaces, bracelets, and earrings are made from paper and are way more beautiful than the photographs show! The bags are very large and made from distinctly African fabrics. Please leave a comment or send me a message on Facebook if you would like to purchase anything! Necklaces and bracelets are $15. Earrings are $6, and bags are $20.
