(if you missed the original post, please click here and please donate to this wonderful cause if you can! HERE )
I would like to thank ALL OF YOU for your generosity of spirit along with donations of funds towards KURA Project "Opportunity Kits" (reusable menstrual pads, underwear and soap) for girls in northern Kenya.
Because of the response from this blog post enough money has been raised to purchase and deliver 250 kits that will keep 250 girls in school without interruption and allow them to participate in all activities without worry. This kit will also last them a year or more.
We at The KURA Project believe in every woman's right to go through her monthly cycle with dignity and have access to education.
Thank you in behalf of KURA but more importantly thank you from the girls in northern Kenya who are benefiting from your generosity.
With Gratitude,

ReplyDeleteyay! thank you Gloria for sharing!
DeleteThank-you for making us aware of this project and need! As you said, I can't even imagine what those young girls deal with. It sure is nice to know how our charitable dollars are actually spent as well. Too many times we just don't have a clue where our dollars actually go. Now it's time for all of us to put a reminder on our calendars to donate again this time next year for new kits for another year.
ReplyDeleteoh my gosh Linda, that is a WONDERFUL idea about putting it as a reminder on our calendars to donate again next year- thank you! I will also do a reminder post:) xxoj.
DeleteIt's nice to know our donations are helping these young girls with such a basic human need, which then allows them to remain in school. Thank you so much Joan, for bringing the KURA Project to our attention! xoxo Peg Allegretto

Wanted you to know, even where I live....in the country, I found a group to work with, and I plan on doing a lot. There is a church doing 500 kits by next June.....and I will do as many as I can.....this is a great charity and I get to do what I love.....sew and give......:>) Thanks again for sharing this. gloria g.

DeleteIf you were to repaint your interiors today would you still use the same colors which color is your favorite
ReplyDeleteThat's a good question, and the answer is Yes! I have been crushing on a deep green dining room lately, but for the way I want the farmhouse to "feel" I still love all my color choices. My favorite? Probably the colors in the master bedroom and master bath!
