I sent the link to the man in Ethiopia who is helping us with the work we will be doing there with young women. It is wonderful to see how God has opened the door for you and the other women, I am sure you are helping to make their lives more hopeful, and learning a lot along the way! love you!donna kushnernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8133242086293120715.post-46810192250508928992010-03-18T19:53:33.214-07:002010-03-18T19:53:33.214-07:00This is SOOOO cool Amy!

But this is cooler in a way, since it's so small and specific...<br />Good on ye, girl!!!!<br />xoxo<br />Aunt MaryAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8133242086293120715.post-54127352400465829502010-03-17T14:02:34.744-07:002010-03-17T14:02:34.744-07:00Ashley- right now this is a start-up thing.

The goal is to do this on a medium-scale here, but really to train the girls so that they can go create start-up businesses to earn income when they go back to the Philippines. I've mentioned a couple times the idea of going bigger scale (maybe connecting with Ten Thousand Villages or something- if you've heard of them)...but right now we're still just getting started. So we're not selling overseas yet! :-)<br /><br />Sarah (and Ashley)...even though we're not selling overseas, it might work for me to buy a few and send a box to one of you with a few options!! The next round of rugs will be ready shortly before I leave for Ethiopia, so I'm sure we could work something out. It's so fun! Pics from tonight coming soon.miakushhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07637786840267767557noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8133242086293120715.post-91071814639704372292010-03-16T20:09:04.757-07:002010-03-16T20:09:04.757-07:00this is so awesome! thanks for sharing! what a nea...this is so awesome! thanks for sharing! what a neat opportunity you are a part of!!!
