The Uganda Community Project and Giveaway!

Today I'm so proud to be able to partner with the Uganda Community Project. I'm also so excited to say that they are helping me with my very first giveaway too! Hot dog!
I couldn't be happier to join together with UGPO since the mission is something that I fully support -- it brings the giveaway so much closer to my heart.
A couple weeks back I was contacted by Kelsey at the Uganda Community Project. The Community Project is a non profit that Kelsey started with her husband.
They had both dreamed about starting a nonprofit -- with Kelsey's background in the ministry and Denis' in technology -- it was the perfect mix to create a community center to reach out in Jinja.

The Uganda Community Center Vision 
"to build and equip multiple community centers that will partner with local schools and churches to aid children in literacy and technology education so they are better equipped to finish school and find employment as adults. These community centers will also function as a place where adults in need of economic aid can take job training classes offered by volunteers from their own community. We see these centers as serving a function of matching peoples’ need with assets that they already have within their own community as well as the global community."
The women of the community create beautiful jewelry out of rolled paper beads. All of the profits from the jewelry go to supporting the women's children whether it be school, shelter, or nourishment.

Normally I don't wear necklaces, but I love these because they are lightweight and super versatile. You could even wear them around your wrist or forearm -- if you schnazzy like that!
