Elisa contacted me about her mission trip to Uganda & Ethiopia. She will be visiting and serving in 4-5 very large orphanages and will be feeding almost 1500 children in one of the feeding programs. She would love to make the little girls feel like princesses by passing out hair accessories. This is an amazing cause but there's not much time! I am asking our fabulous readers for help. She is asking for new or gently used hair accessories to pass out to these girls. She will be collecting them until May 27th. Many girls do not have hair so she really needs some headbands. Read below for more information.
Do you want to be part of something big? Do you want to help a little girl feel beautiful? I am traveling to Uganda and Ethiopia with a team of 30 missionaries on May 31. We are going through an organization called Visiting Orphans. We will be working with several ministries and hundred of girls.
Here is where we will be:
Some things that would be appreciated are:
Here is a video of the last group that brought beauty to some precious girls!

ReplyDeleteWOW... what a great cause! Just think, these are things that are readily available for our little girls and I'm sure MANY of us have tons of gently used and/or new hair accessories that we can give to a worthy cause! Who wouldn't want to help a precious little girl feel beautiful...with tears in my eyes (happy tears) I'm gathering my supplies to be mailed out tomorrow...Thank you for posting this and I encourage everyone to donate!! :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for posting this, it is very timely. We are working on some volunteer and service projects with DD this month and this is a one that she will enjoy doing!
ReplyDeleteI would love to do this. Also if this were posted to forums like NaturallyCurly or LHCF I think a lot of people would donate.

ReplyDeleteAlso, www.twistbraidsnap.com is offering FREE shipping when you order and ship to me. AND they are going to match donations after we reach 25 orders!
Thank you Beads, Braids & Beyond- from the bottom of my heart!!! In February, I took over 2,000 headbands to crown princesses in Ethiopia, living on the trash dump in Korah. It was the most life-changing opportunity to give bows & headbands wrapped in love from bloggers all over the world!
ReplyDeleteWe are now collecting headbands for our Visiting Orphans trip to Uganda in June and my team member, Elisa Hyman is starting a frenzy for bows!!!! Here is the blog post if you want to learn more- http://mycrazyadoption.org/i-need-bows-headbands-for-uganda-princesses-and-princes
