Ugandan Necklaces are In!

They're HERE! These fantastic necklaces all the way from Uganda are here, in my house, ready to be in YOUR house - and around your neck. :-)
A group of women in Uganda hand make these necklaces from recycled paper. They roll the beads by hand, dip them in varnish, and thread them onto the string. Prior to learning how to make these beads, most of the women "picked trash" or turned to prostitution to provide for their children. But now these women have a commodity, and a community.

"By purchasing these necklaces, you help a mother earn make a sustainable income to provide for her family. We are also proud to donate to Amazima Ministries' feeding program from the profits of these necklaces. The feeding program, run by Katie Davis, provides food to children and their families in the same area of Uganda. It is a beautiful, full circle story of the body of Christ."

And to make the circle a little wider, 147 Million Orphans allows adopting families, like my precious Coulombe family, to purchase these necklaces in bulk, then sell them for profit, to raise funds to bring their children home. It really is beautiful!

So place your orders now friends! Only $20! Mother's Day is right around the corner, and birthdays are coming up, and the school year is almost over so teacher gifts need to be purchased. But above all those reasons, there's the simple reason of helping to bring a baby girl home to her forever family.
