During the month of August 2010 50% of my USANA sales commissions will go to supplies for the girls orphanage I visited in Honduras on my Habitat for Humanity trip in May.
In May 2010 I took a 10 day trip to Santa Rosa de Copan with Habitat for Humanity. During that trip we visited an all girls orphanage that really touched my heart.
These are older girls that are NOT eligible for adoption. The nuns there take care of the girls and prepare them for their 18th birthday when they must leave the orphanage and live in the 'real' world.
One thing that the nuns have set up are bank accounts for each girl in the orphanage. Donated arts and crafts items are used to make things such as knitted scarfs. These scarfs are then sold and the money made goes into the bank account of the girl who made the item. The girls are taught how to manage and make money.
When I was there I (as well as others on the trip) bought scarves from the girls. They were so lovely! I could tell which ones were made by the younger, less skilled girls and which were made by the older girls who have become extremely talented in this craft. However, most of the yarn that is donated is low quality and cheap. There were only a few high quality yarn scarves. They told me they rarely receive donations of high quality yarn.
The scarf made with the higher quality yarn was of a caliber we would find in a fine boutique here in the U.S. The colors, craftmanship, and beauty was amazing. This type of scarf can be sold for a greater amount than the low quality yarn scarf.
I will donate 50% of my USANA commissions in the month of August to purchase and send as much of this fancy yarn as I can to the orphanage so they can create and sell these beautifully crafted scarves and make more money for their hard work and effort.
Please order your USANA products here to help my efforts - thank you so very much for any and all help with this goal.
