Greeting to all!
Instead of the "normal blog" i have a proposition for you....
While being here in Uganda i found an orphanage that was started by college age Ugandan . And one of the ways that the orphanage gets money for food, school fees, health care ect. is to sell paper bead necklaces that the children make. However, there is a little problem....everyone in Uganda makes paper bead necklaces therefore there is not a huge market for them here. Therefore, some of the GO ED students decided that we would take some of the paper bead necklaces back to the States to sell in order to make some extra cash for them, This would be a huge blessing for this orphanage because they are not sponsored by an outside source. I am really excited about helping out this group of kids that are trying their hardest to make it. However, i was wondering how many of my friends and family would be interested in buying a paper bead necklace for a cause such as this???
Maybe this is something just to think about...this blog is not about trying to get you to buy jewelry but this is just a silly idea we had to help out a group of kids and we will see if it will work
besides that Jordon and I are doing great! i think we just realize the other day that here in a two weeks we are really going home.
WOW it just seemed like four months flew by! This next few weeks we will be finishing up our classes and be debriefing our trip!
Not to mention Jordon 21st birthday is coming up!
If i were to be honest i can not wait until Monday gets here because this is when my economics research paper is due and i will have no worries!
on a random side note....Jordon and i have been in awe of all the random things that have been going on back at home such as: earthquakes, tornadoes, flooding, hail, snow storms, and the list goes on and on! man sometimes i ask my self in a joking manner.....is the world coming to an end???
So when we come home we can not wait to hear about all the things we have missed out on.
love you all and God bless!
