Necklaces

On Sunday we sold a few necklaces that were made by a women’s group in Jinja.  It’s always exciting to see a Kibo project connect Americans and Ugandans.  These necklaces are made from discarded magazines, and make a great source of income for the women in the group.

We love them because they give us a chance to tell a story of hope and creativity from Uganda.  Everyone loves the crazy colors and uniqueness of each bead.  We’ve got a few hundred left and we’re hoping to continue selling them as we travel.  What a great opportunity to communicate a great message and allow people to get involved!

One of the great blessings of being in Tulsa for the past few days is spending time with former teammates from Uganda.  Most of our connections to churches and people interested in East Africa have come from these teammates.  They have blessed us with wisdom and encouragement as well as time spent being great families.  Below is a photo of Jill Taylor, myself, and Briley Davis.  I’ll be missing these two wonderful friends as we head out this Friday for DC.
