I love finding ways I can help others, don't you?
One of the things on my "40 at 40" list is to be more conscientious about the purchases I make in the next year. I want to give gifts that give twice - first by helping the cause selling them and second by giving joy and a story with meaning to the receiver.
I read this entry this morning and immediately thought these necklaces fill both of those requirements.
If you're looking for inspiration, read through Katie's blog, one woman making a huge difference in the lives of so many people and doing it all because of her love of Jesus. Amazing.
If you're looking for gifts, please consider buying some of these necklaces - give one to all of the women in your life sharing the story of the women making them. Women just like you, trying to take care of their families and friends.

Oh Sabrina, I am so glad you shared this! I visited Uganda nearly four years ago and still have a huge ache in my heart for these dear people. Thank you, thank you, thank you for spreading the word on this - the necklaces are so beautiful!
