South Africa has decided to become home to me. I guess it's official when you start to think about buying furniture. On the serious side though, God has put a huge place inside of me for Africa. After being here for a few months, it is so obvious to me that this place is my home for now. When I realized this, God opened up so many doors for me and placed so many opportunities in my life. Back in February I made the decision to stay at Ten Thousand Homes as full-time staff. This means that I am committed to working here for at least two years. I am so content with this decision! My talents are being used very well here, and I am growing and being stretched to overcome my areas of weakness. God has been teaching me so much, and has constantly been putting me outside of my comfort zone.
With all of that being said, it's time for me to make this place home! This means decorating my space and having things that any person needs to have when he or she lives in one spot for more than a year. So I am looking to buy this beautiful piece of furniture. Many of you ask, "So what makes this piece so special?" Let me tell you. Two of the local guys that I work with at TTH, Sam and Swazi, made this because they are both very passionate for a certain cause. Both of them saw a huge need for schoolgirls in the areas that they live. For many reasons, girls especially have a hard time in school. Being a woman and all that entitles often seems shameful to these beautiful girls. Because they don't have enough money or access to feminine products, they will often miss school when they are on their period. This very obviously puts them at a disadvantage when it comes to getting good daily grades. So Swazi and Sam decided to do something about it. Last year they did a fundraiser which raised enough pads for an entire school of girls. It was a huge success! And so the project continues on. Since we have become aware of the huge need to help these girls in one specific area, we have also become aware that there are many many areas in which they need help. The project now includes raising support for supplying girls in school with both pads and uniforms.
I am asking for your support in this amazing cause. This one piece of handmade furniture only costs about 120 dollars. With that amount of money, Ten Thousand Homes can equip so many girls to do well in school! I encourage anyone who reads this to partner with me. Not only are you encouraging me in my decision to do missions full-time, but you are helping to equip girls in school to be successful and be proud of who they are. If you would like to partner with me in this amazing cause, please send me an email or message me on facebook. Thanks for your interest!
