Back in Business!

We sold out of the first batch of bracelets from Sabore's village in Kenya but I just met with Therese after school today to get another batch of bracelets AND KEYCHAINS (they are just the cutest)!!!!  I will be selling them tomorrow and all of next week before Christmas break.  They are $5/piece and ALL proceeds are going to buying school supplies for the Naretu Academy, the first school in Sabore's village, that opens on January 7th!!!

The money we raised for our free dress fundraiser that was matched by VMware has helped tremendously.  They broke ground just the other day on the kitchen for the school so that the students will have a nutritious meal when they are attending school.  I can not even tell you how exciting this feels.  We have been with them from the start and to see all of these donations making a difference in the lives of not only children but women is just simply amazing.

If we sell out of this next batch of bracelets and keychains, we will have raised another $700 dollars that will be used for buying school supplies for the students.  Thank you!

Students may come to my classroom at recess and lunch to purchase them.  Middle school students will also see me on yard duty in the morning before school starts patrolling the middle school area clutching my basket of bracelets and keychains and may also purchase them then.

Once this batch is done, we will have to wait until Sabore returns from Kenya with more bracelets and keychains as we will have depleted their jewelry stash here in the states :)
