First let's talk money... Our next fee that is due when we complete our paperwork is $5,500. It is for translation of the documents and submitting fees. We are hoping to pay this MUCH sooner but the last possible day to pay it is April 16th. So we've put on our thinking caps and come up with a few more fundraisers! We are super excited for these!
We've got some awesome stuff in January! We will start off the new year with a fundraising kit from Tukula! I grabbed the about from their website to give you a little info on who and what Tukula does (you can look for yourself Here):
We are also working on a bowling tournament... Not sure if this will be in January or not, details are still being worked out. At the tournament we are hoping to have a small silent auction set up with some good stuff including a lap quilt raffle!
We are so close to getting completed in our paperwork stage I can just smell the wait! I've starting looking at books to read while we wait and have got quite the list made... If only we had the finances to purchase all of them! Been keeping my eyes peeled at half price books for them though!
I also want to thank everyone who participated in our Home Study by Christmas campaign! Knowing little Africa's are hanging on so many Christmas trees this year makes my heart so warm (we sold 18!!!)! You all are so amazing!

"Tukula (meaning "we grow") is an accessories line based in Jinja, Uganda. We hire young women who are trained as seamstresses but aren't able to find consistent work. Along with a fair wage these women receive medical care, an encouraging work environment, and access to savings programs. In addition to our full time employees, we provide paid interships for women who are on the verge of dropping out of sewing school so that they can continue with their studies and receive a job immediatly after graduating. By relieving the pressure of school fees, medical fees, and daily expenses, these ladies are able to walk with confidence and joy."We are really excited about this opportunity AND the bags are super cute!!! I am going to set up an online sale for the items through Facebook, we''ll also have the necklaces we have left in that sale. More details on how that will work soon!
