Week 7 Update

Hey Everyone,

I got another shipment of beads last week that included "water" beads. The proceeds from these beads go toward building a water well in Agwata. They are beautiful hues of blues, green, and purples. I have enough beads to make 50 bracelets so I am committed to selling AT LEAST that many more before the end of the project!!! There are only 4 more weeks left I can believe how fast the summer has flown by and am excited to fulfill more orders in these last few weeks :)

Thank you for everyone who supported the project in weeks 7 and 8!

$1000 raised...so far!

Hello Everyone,

I am so excited to announce that together we have hit the $1000 mark on our donation to Outreach Uganda!!! The goal I had set out for this project was to make a significant contribution to this non-profit and I think we have accomplished that...but we are not stopping just yet! There are still 6 more weeks left of the project and I am continuing to work hard to make and sell bracelets.

To date 120 bracelets have been purchased! So THANK YOU to everyone who has placed an order to help support the project! Please keep the orders coming. Many of my repeat orders have been from ladies who showed off their bracelets and told friends about this project. You would be surprised how many people want to help by just asking :)

Here are a few examples of what $1000 can do for Outreach Uganda;

• SEND 4 CHILDREN, LIKE FIONA TO SCHOOL FOR 1 YEAR

Fiona, 9 years old

"The school is called Cubu Parent School and was started by her community who did not want their children to have to walk almost 2 miles to the nearest school. There are now almost 300 children in this local school and the parents are very happy. They must pay the teachers themselves. Annual sponsorship cost is $250 for primary school fees and costs, uniforms, school supplies and occasional supplemental food assistance."

• PROVIDE A MID-DAY MEAL FOR ALL THE STUDENTS FOR 40 DAYS

School cooks preparing the porridge

"Because most of the school children eat only one meal per day (an evening meal around 7pm to 8pm), we began a feeding program at the school in February 2011. This program provides a mid-day lunch of porridge to all students at the school (not just sponsored students). The teachers were the proponents of this program because they can see that the students are more alert and learn much better if they are not hungry."

• HELP BUILD A WELL FOR THE AGWATA BEADER GROUP

Agwata community

"We are currently raising funds to be able to drill a bore hole (water well) at the Agwata parent supported school where our 3rd header group is located. The total cost is estimated to be $8,500 and so far we have raised about $1,000 toward this (Carol Davis, Founder of Outreach Uganda)."
