love & anticipation

Alright, so I have been wanting to do a post about this for awhile.  A) Because I love this jewelry. B) I love the whole idea behind this organization. and C) Well, I just love everything about it.

Seriously. Take a look.  Here is the website: Click here.

In a short little nutshell, Musana Jewelry sells jewelry that is handmade by women in Uganda.  These women are hired and taught marketable skills and how to make and design jewelry.  This employment helps pull them out of extreme poverty within one year.  They are given flexible hours, a steady income, and after just 2 years they will have the skills and funds needed to pursue other goals. Additionally, the surplus profit is donated to Life Dairy, which will only impact many more lives in the best way possible.

It is now SEPTEMBER! You know what that means? El Charro should be opening up anyday now. 

Dear El Charro,

Rumor has it you're opening back up September 8th?? Please be good to my soul and stay true to this.  I will love you forever.  Let's be honest, even if you open up a few weeks later... I will still love you forever.  But really, just be a good little restaurant and open ASAP.  The summer months are always so hard without you.

Love a faithful customer who has been fed your food since the womb.

  1. I LOVE that jewelry! My mom got some necklaces made like that while serving a mission trip in Nepal. Thanks for posting this because I wasn't sure how to go about getting more :) And that's such a great cause. Makes buying another necklace a win-win for sure :)
