Good Morning my friends! How are you today! I am sitting here in front of my computer screen at 5:00 am and just pondering how lucky I am to have a loving family… friends… little furbabies that love me to the extreme… a pretty roof over my head and the blessing of being alive (believe me that is a blessing…another post on that one : ) God has been good to me in all so many ways and I have to say that there is not a day in my life that I don’t think of all those that are not as fortunate…I try to help in anyway I can…I will fill you in on our foster child in Kenya soon…I know you will enjoy meeting him. I always ponder the thought if everyone did just a little thing the world would be such a better place. So when I find something like I am going to show you today my heart gets all warm and fuzzy and I almost feel like jumping out of my skin with happiness because this is what I dream of and so wish there were a million projects like this one! Some of you may have heard about or purchased items from here and if you have…spread the word!!! It is a fabulous little on-line site called:
Yep…Krochet with a K! Wow I was blown away by this incredible project…I urge you to go to the website and read about this heartwarming project and how it is changing lives and the best thing is…it is continuing to grow.
So if you have someone in your life that needs to keep warm this winter…Here is the place to get a fabulous hand Krocheted hat that will warm your loved one and change lives! What a great gift…I gift with a meaning! I am just in love with this idea and I want everyone to know about it!
this is how it works in the words of the founders (you are going to be surprised to see the founders…so young and innovative)
Through a unique model we are empowering the women of Northern Uganda with the assets, skills, and knowledge to lift themselves and their families out of poverty. With this investment into true empowerment we are breaking the cycle of poverty and dependence on outside humanitarian aid. The result is long lasting and sustainable change.
We provide a job so that women can meet the present needs of their families.
We educate them so that they develop beyond the need for outside aid.
We provide mentorship to help each lady plan a unique and sustainable career path for the future.
