Hi everyone,
Hope you are doing great! I wanted to let you know that I recently posted a newsletter on the ‘Media’ page to fill you in on life post-Burkina, but I also wanted to update you on Beads for Burkina.
To date, Beads for Burkina has sold almost 200 necklaces. This is the equivalent to the average annual income of 4 Burkinabes, which is truly amazing! Thank you to those of you who have purchased beads and continued to support Burkina Faso Outreach. I’m so excited to be a part of this and be able to serve in this way from the United States. If you are interested in purchasing Beads for Burkina, you can find out more information by clicking here!
Here are a few pictures from the past 10 months:
My neighbors and cousins showing off their welcome home signs at the airport last June. I randomly stumbled across this photo on my Mom's camera.
I was blessed to be able to take a trip to Colorado this past July to visit friends from The Rock (my church I used to attend @ Mizzou).
The Rock was gracious enough to let me sell Beads for Burkina after one of their Saturday evening services. Mazvita, my Columbia B4B representative and good friend, helped with the sales.
Beads for Burkina were sold at the Parkway South Craft Fair this year, too!
It was nice to spend Christmas in the States with family this past year.
My family and I on Christmas day.
Many Blessings,
Olivia
