Support Education in West Africa
The U N Millennium Goals of Education For All by 2015 are a long way from being met. Help support the 34 children and their families we sponsor in Hounde, and Gaoua Burkina Faso. With your help these children are in school and are getting the support they need to succeed in school.
Come. Take some time to explore your creative side. Make a gift for someone special. Bring a friend. If you don’t want to do any beading, come anyway, enjoy the food and company and
take home an exotic necklace made for you. [Beading will be done with] a fantastic variety of beautiful handmade recycled glass beads from Ghana.
We’ll be serving seasonal treats to keep you energized for your creative efforts.
Please bring a $75.00 donation. Tax Receipts will be issued for $50.00
