Making A Difference, One Necklace At A Time

Two and a half years ago, we were moved to tears when we saw the dump for the first time. People, made in God's image like you and me, were fighting with the buzzards for anything edible or anything that could be sold for food. We sat in the truck knowing that since we had seen such a nightmarish scene, we had to do something about it.

A couple of weeks later we made bean sandwiches and took to those people. We now feed hot food weekly. We are working with other projects to share Jesus with the dump people and to help these folks get their children out of the dump and to get themselves out of the dump.

God is good and continues to bless those efforts and to lead us to people that have the same desires and with which we can partner.

Recently, we learned of another group wanting to help those people that work and live in the dump. This group is currently working with seven different ladies that have had to work the dump to eke out an existence. These seven ladies are being taught to make jewelry. And, I might add, beautiful jewelry it its. The problem is, currently, not enough jewelry is being sold to make a living and the ladies make a few pieces of jewelry to sell and still have to work the dump.

As most of us are starting to think about Christmas, I would like to help the seven ladies that make jewelry. We at Casa de Esperanza plan to take orders for these necklaces and sell as many as we can. Hopefully, a lot of necklaces will be sold. One necklace will sell for $20.00 and $2.00 postage for a total of $22.00. A portion of the price of each necklace sold will also benefit Casa de Esperanza.

There are many colors from which to choose. I have shown only five colors. I need all orders by November 15.

If you are interested in ordering, please email me at terriltindall@yahoo.com for details.

Lets make the coming Christmas season one to remember for the seven ladies at the dump.
