Awake & Alive

As the holidays are fast approaching, everyone will begin to get into the madness of shopping, parties, families, etc I wanted to give everyone an opportunity that is so very close, near and dear to our hearts!
We have a very very good friend Jolene Shrock (http://www.awakeandalive.org/) and her friend Danielle, that have started a nonprofit, to help the children of Ethiopia. As a matter of fact they are going to be starting a school in Kechene, Ethiopia! Kechene, Ethiopia is in the slum of Addis.
Some of you might have the tradition of helping a family, organization, group, or something around the holidays-well, this year I am asking if you would donate money to the school of Kechene, ET.  The beautiful thing about this, is I am praying and hopeful that I will be able to go with Awake and Alive on their mission trip next year! I would love to know that I have taken a big chunk of money from all of our friends/family to give to Awake and Alive for this amazing opportunity! 




I am asking that this year, when thinking about what your children "NEED/WANT", to think about the true, NEEDS/WANTS of children that literally have NOTHING.  I am not saying that our children should not be a lil' bit "spoiled" at Christmas, I am just asking to think of what's going on with the children of our world that do not have a family, food, mommy's, daddy's, a home, shoes, clothes, etc, etc etc.  If maybe this year, your children get "one-less" gift and that money is maybe donated to Awake and Alive? Can you do that?  Are you up for the challenge? Can you be the one that can change just one? One child? Click on the link below to donate!
