Caroline's Promise Christmas Open House
Unique Gifts, Surprisingly Low Prices, Worthy Cause, Free gift wrap!
Sure, you could buy your sister another bottle of her favorite perfume. You
could give your kid's teachers apple-shaped note pad holders to add to their
collection. And, we're sure Aunt Millie would appreciate the hand made doggie
sweater for her precious Fifi.
But, what if this year, instead of just giving gifts, you gave stories? Each
unique, fair-trade item we have to offer comes with the story of the person who
made it. Widows whose "magazine bead" necklaces are providing the income they
need to survive. Single mothers whose hand-crafted purses and jewelry are
putting food on the table and their kids through school. Stunning
mother-of-pearl jewelry made by young women who have been rescued from human
trafficking. Or, the "chip bag" earrings made by a group of school-aged boys who
are paying for their own education. These are just a few examples of the dozens
of one-of-a kind items that will be offered at the Open House, each one made by
people from around the world who are breaking the cycle of poverty, oppression
and injustice with their handiwork.
There is no doubt, your friends & family will love these gifts with a purpose
and you will love the great feeling that comes along with "Smarter Shopping".
Prices range from $5 - $38
Help us celebrate Christmas and learn how you can help us reclaim hope for
orphans! Invite your friends! Door Prizes will be given!

Cesy, translating for Kaitlyn Our friend Cesy was too old to be in our child sponsorship program when we met her, but she definitely benefited from the program because two of her siblings were sponsored consistently. And we benefited from knowing Cesy! For years she would translate for our special programs. I remember speaking to a group of moms years ago and Cesy translated for me. She stayed for hours after the talk to help me minister to women. One of those women had concerns about her son who clearly showed signs of ADHD. Cesy helped me find natural ways to address his inattention and lack of focus and a year later that same Mom shared how Cesy's suggestions had helped! Cesy, we know how hard you have worked and we are incredibly proud of you! Thank you for being a beautiful example to young women everywhere!
