I know there are so many more because I found myself saying thank you in my sleep. Everywhere I turned, someone was helping me do something. 

It is HUMBLING.

It is OVERWHELMING.

It is GOD!

We made our goal! $2000 was raised for the kids' library at Kechene Care Point. 130 children will soon enjoy a corner just for them to study in with reference books, dictionaries, and some fun books to just read all while sitting on chairs at tables.

Thank you, Byers and Anderson Families, Dodgeville, and Hidden Valley Community Church!
You made a difference! God is so good!

What is this Art/Craft sale we speak of???

Art Sale? Crafts? Bake Sale?

It is all to benefit the kids at Kechene Care Point in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia where we have 130 children who are presently sponsored by folks here in the U.S. through Children's Hopechest. www.hopechest.org

All 100% of the money raised from the sale will go towards their "library." This will consist of reference books, a few shelves, a couple tables, and chairs and hopefully some "fun" books! We are excited since they don't expect it to all be done in one sale, but our goal is $3500!

Come help us achieve this goal and give these children a library they have never had before!

Where?  Hidden Valley Community Church

When?  Sat., Aug. 18 from 9a.m.-3 p.m.

What?  Over 20 artists/crafters featured with items like wood pens, trivets, cutting boards, crocheted hats, beautiful scarves, paintings and photographs, a girly table, baked goods, and even lunch of BBQ sandwiches, chips and lemonade.
