CRAFT FAIR RESULTS AND OTHER THINGS!!!

There are so many amazing things going on with Mission Ethiopia and I want to share some with you. First I was able to get a last minute space at a holiday craft show on Saturday but the most wonderful thing happened. First I must back up and tell you that one of the things I am working on is figuring out ways to incorporate sustainable income for woman in Ethiopia. I would like there to be a way for the homeless moms who are interested to be able to generate income for them and their children. One of the ideas is to create jewelry. I have met a couple of different people who are willing to share their skills with me. During all of this I recalled a woman whom I met during my first round of fund raising. She does fair trade jewelry in Uganda and Kenya but I had no way of getting touch with her. Well guess who was in the booth next to me yesterday!!!! Yes, this very woman. God is so awesome!!!!! About an hour after set up the woman in charge came around and told us she did not plan to put us together because we are both working for Africa but we quickly told her we were happy next to each other. Throughout the day she shared the ways she does this and we exchanged information so we can stay in touch. Mission Ethiopia also raised just over four hundred dollars!!! I did have some people who want to make donations and they informed me that their companies will match if I am non for profit. So I will begin to head down that path, if any of you know how to go about this or know someone who has and would be willing to help me please let me know as this is an area I have not one idea of how to navigate.
