Necklaces // New Address

For those of you who have our address in Nakuru, we will no longer be receiving mail there. If something was recently sent to that address, don't worry about it; we'll still get it. But from now on, our new address will need to be used. If you would like it, please e-mail me [hawkins_08@live.com] or get it from my parents :]

One of my "jobs" here is working with the "bead women." Every Wednesday, a group of local women come to the camp. They bring necklaces that they hand made, with beads made from rolled up magazines. We buy the necklaces from them to give them an income, and then we sell them elsewhere. We don't sell them to make a profit, but just to pay the women for their work. We also do a Bible study with the women to give this project an 'eternal perspective.'

We are currently shipping and selling the bead products to people in the UK, but we've had a few requests from the US; so we are making them available there. For the payment method; we pay the women up front and just ask that you write a check to me to be reimbursed for the amount.

~Shipping is included in the price listed.

~You can request a specific color, but it's not guaranteed. I will do my best, though!!
