Karama Trip!

I'm starting what I know will be an unforgettable trip.... 5 women are in town from the states, 5 uniquely talented women who have invested their lives in Karama and who are here to dream, inspire, design, encourage, and empower.  To grow our Karama mission and vision.... to encourage and empower Karama artisans.... to further Karama's future.  We're going to Zanzibar tomorrow to meet with a couple producer groups then to Arusha on Wednesday to meet with some more.  It's going to be a BIG week.... full of HOPE and LIFE and VISION.  I'm so excited to see what's in store.

Follow us this week on our blog that we'll be updating daily:  https://www.karamagifts.com/blog/

And please pray for our trip!  Here are the specific prayer requests we covet:

-that God will provide true vision for Karama
-that God would reveal each of our roles...and how specifically our gifts can be used to further Karama (The Karama Mamas that will be included on this trip are Kim Allen, Jill Morley, Heather Fruit, Susan Peterson, Jane Stephens, Dyan Larmey, and me)
-that relationships will be formed and strengthened across continents
-that we are able to serve our artisans of Africa by providing them employment through fair wages (while supporting the amazing ministry of Young Life Africa)
-that Karama Mamas will be united in heart, mind, and soul
-that we might be able to develop Karama's products in a way that will make them more marketable 
-that we are able to explore the best means possible in making the world aware of the story behind Karama & its products
 
 
(and stay tuned to find out my big future plans with Karama.....! :))
