thank you!

just wanted to say a huge thank you to everyone who has helped with our sew rwanda project. the response has been overwhelming, and we are excited to say that we raised enough money to buy each person her own machine! we also are going to have a little bit extra, and we are praying about different opportunities and ideas. we have a few ideas--maybe renting the ladies a spot in the market for a few months that they can take over once we leave. or maybe buying a small plot of land near the Bible study to be used as a community "garden" (where they can all come together and grow different foods for their families). once we have a plan, i will be sure to update!

 thank you to: Carol, Kerrie, Amanda, and Deanne for hosting the parties. thank you also to angie, for donating Bakealicious desserts; and to judy, for donating Anthem Cookies; and to kathryn for donating smartkins kids napkins; and to rebecca for donating cards from the One Mother to Another Initiative!!! and a big thank you to everyone who attended a party, made a purchase or donated; and those who are praying for the success of these ladies' new businesses! :)
