Global Capacity News, November 2012
Now Seeking Marketplace Party Hosts
We are
now in our Rwandan Marketplace season! The three events we've had so far this
fall were huge successes. Gifts available at the Marketplace Parties are:
straw and fabric handbags, sandals, stuffed elephants and giraffes, animal
mobiles, necklaces, earrings, bracelets, wooden bird ornaments, woven ball
ornaments, straw and fabric coin pouches, banana leaf bowls and more!
We're
looking for more individuals interested in hosting a Marketplace Party over the
next few months. It's simple:
- Invite
your friends and family to your house for two hours
- Provide
snacks and drinks
- We
will do the rest
It's a fun way to get
together with your friends, do some shopping, and help a great cause. 100% of
the proceeds will go towards Global Capacity. If you are interested in hosting
your own Rwandan Marketplace Party or want to attend one that's already planned,
go here.
Student Spotlight: Elias
Elias
is now in Secondary-5 (11th grade). The section he is studying is Electricity.
Previously he was a boarding student and could have all his concentration on
his studies. However, recently Elias was reunited with his 16 year-old sister
and his 20 year-old sister. An organization reunited them and helped them by
building a home for them with three rooms and another unit they can rent out
for income. Elias chose to become a day student and change schools so he could
better supervise his sisters as the older brother and now being an orphan led
household.
