Hope--an expected outcome of good as Wikipedia says--sweetens even the most blessed life. Can you pause with me for a moment, though, and consider the the impact when hope shines into a life bleak with despair? We all know those lives abound; sometimes we choose to turn away in our own despair of making any difference. Will you spare a few minutes to consider putting a party with purpose into your summer plans?
BUT...did you know our accessories can provide for others' necessities? |
Trades of Hope is a missional-business providing a market for hand-made items from around the world. The Trades of Hope organization connects with mission partners in such countries as Guatemala, Bangladesh, Uganda and America to identify tangible ways to offer hope in lives darkened with despair. The situations are all different. In Cambodia, the life may have been devastated by an acid attack. In Bangladesh, sexual slavery may have eclipsed hope. AIDS, prostitution, disabilities, intense poverty...crippling challenges that we can impact simply by caring action!
Organized in a manner most American women are familiar with, Trades of Hope uses home parties to bring these hand-made items into your world. Offering an income source to desperate individuals, hope beams into their world. Basic necessities, health care and education for their children suddenly become possibilities simply because individuals in America have a party. That opportunity to give hope is a blessing not to be missed! The team of 'Compassion Entrepreneurs' who bring these parties to homes are passionate about their work.
In fact, it is that passion that prompted this blog entry. My friend, Tina Crandall, is offering chances to win a beautiful hand-made silk scarf as a prize to those who will simply take the time to learn more about this incredible opportunity. Check out these details below--and know that this scarf is far more lovely than the picture shows!
