The sales for all my items for September and October are going to Deborah House Shelter for Street Girls (92704) and compared to the previous two months sales ($US82) I did quite well. The total in sales for these two months was………..drumroll……….$US300. This is exciting as it will assist those girls in Addis Abbaba Ethiopia who are in need and quoting from the SIM website:
“Deborah House is a shelter house that offers these girls a safe place to sleep, Christian love, food, and care—by paying school fees, offering medical care, teaching about HIV and AIDS, and most importantly, teaching them about the love of Christ through Bible studies and compassionate care.
With room to house 30 girls, the shelter has almost always been at capacity since it began. As they have experienced the love of God through the staff, many of the girls have changed dramatically and made commitments to follow Christ.
In order to bring more girls off the streets, the Deborah House staff is working towards reintegrating some of the girls into the community. This will be done by reuniting some of the girls with their families, by placing others in foster families, and by other methods.”
I will let you know soon where the November and December sales will go. I have to sit down and have a good think (and pray) about it as this is the month where I will be selling at the Made On The Left market and expect to sell a lot more than usual (or hope to!).
Thank you to those of you who have purchased from me these last two months, I’m sure the girls in Ethiopia will benefit greatly from your buys!
