Kairos

Recently my super fab mother picked up a beaded bracelet from a friend selling them in her Sunday School class. This chic piece was handmade by women in Ghana. Kairos 10 Jewelry is a non-profit that provides mosquito nets to these women and their families, as well as many other families in Africa, from the proceeds of the bracelets. They also put on medical clinics, forums for young girls, and so much more.

I think the greatest thing they are doing for these women is providing them with hope. Helping them to see they are worthwhile. Helping them to make their own future, and feel important. The Kairos teams friend these women and visit them regularly. In September another group will head out on a mission. I am committing to pray for them while they are gone.

So, after my mother failed to let me in on her newest philanthropic effort, I ran across the Kairos bracelets at a local store. I picked up one - purple with pearls - and have been sporting it ever since!



You can visit their blog at http://kairosjewelry.blogspot.com/ and check them out for yourself. Be expecting some for birthday presents, ladies!! 

Love you all, and miss you tons!
