Uganda for Ethiopia

As part of our family’s new adventure with HopeMongers, we decided to use last year’s vacation and this year’s vacation and our Christmas and combine them all into one big trip to take the family to Ethiopia for three weeks. This will be HopeMongers second official profiling trip.  To help offset some of the costs, we’re having a big YARD SALE next Saturday here at our house, and we’re selling Ugandan Recycled Paper-Bead Necklaces online that Sam brought back from his September trip to Uganda.

Kind of interesting now that I think about it…we bought necklaces from women in Uganda and, in selling them we’ll be able to help orphans in Ethiopia.  When you purchase these necklaces, you’ll be helping a widow in Uganda and an orphan in Ethiopia at the same time!! Pretty cool deal since you get to wear this handmade piece of art as a testimony!

So without further delay, here is the merchandise:

PETITE BEAD TRIPLE-STRAND $20, approx. 19” total length

Gorgeous necklaces!

6th picture. The green one on the right. Is that still available?

Also, the one you are modeling, the lighter colored, short, chunky choker. Is that also available?

Wendi...I'm a sucka....for these necklaces and for helping a good cause! Can I order the first triple strand necklace (the one you have your index finger on - it's kind of a green colour).

As well...for shipping to canada will the 2.50 be the same price? Let me know and I'll pay up!!!
