Dear Friends,
Last post we talked about
partnering with Lush Charity Pot to build six houses, install six bathrooms,
rain water catchment systems and provide 33 solar systems for our Smart Kids
sponsorship program. We are incredibly grateful to Lush Charity Pot for not only
providing funds for this project but also for bringing some of their North
American staff over to build the houses and connect culturally with the families
living in poverty and mostly working for the brick factories. Twenty-three Lush
staff including Karen Wolverton,
the owner of North
American Lush, joined us for a great experience that positively changed families
lives forever. The closing ceremony was incredibly moving as families stood up
to thank Lush and to say how much this meant to them. One woman, with tears in
her eyes, said she never dreamt that she would ever live in a good house outside
the brick factory. Although these houses are very humble they are a
huge improvement from what they lived in before. We were also able to
visit some of our other projects and have some fun with the kids. Do
check out Lush Charity Pot and see the inspiring and compassionate work they do
for our world, they definitely are a company with a vision and a commitment to
social justice. Thank you Lush!!
All the best to you and
yours,
Adrianne and Rick
