Little Dresses for Africa

God Bless Your Good Work!
It has been with much pleasure for me to help organize two sewing nights at our church. We will be sending over 80 beautiful dresses to Little Dresses for Africaa non-profit, Christian based organization which provides relief to the children of  Africa.  These simple, dresses will be distributed through the orphanages, churches and schools in Africa to plant in the hearts of little girls that they are worthy! 

Because of the widespread AIDS pandemic, little girls are often left to be the primary caregivers of their young siblings. Along with being something that they all need, distributing the little dresses provides an opportunity to hold camps and informal teaching sessions to increase their knowledge in nutrition and sanitation and promote good health and family skills knowledge.

Ask me why

Seems kind of crazy that our busy family of six is crazy about adopting a child from Ethiopia. We have this strong desire inside of us that wants to care for the orphan. We have been blessed with so much it only seems natural to share what has been given to us and take in a child who needs a loving family. It hasn't been an easy decision but we are ready for this roller-coaster and can't wait to see what God has planned for us.
