crumbs from the table

Having dreams of ways to raise money for the children who need pencils, excercise books and resourse for class in Global Harvest Academy.  Do you know that even your crumbs...just 2% of your income...lets see that is $2 for every $100 that you have, could make a huge difference to these children. 

So that was my dreaming revolation! Asppire really needs partners to come together to bring even our 'crumbs' and make a difference. 

Where did I get crumbs from under the table: a great story from the bible: The woman came and knelt before him. "Lord, help me!" she said. He replied, "It is not right to take the children's bread and toss it to their dogs." "Yes, Lord," she said, "but even the dogs eat the crumbs that fall from their masters' table." Matthew 15:26-27 (NIV)

I am unashamably asking for your crumbs.  More excitingly calling out for people to join me in Asppire to make positive change for some amazing people!

I will be working on the Learning Journey in the next couple of weeks building up to the start of the workshops. Compiling skills and artworks that I have completed in my own journey.

Beads4her will be offering skill support and opportunites for success as well as building up relationships and networking.

Do you love beads, Do you love beading, Do you love networking? Do you love impacting others, then this will be for you.

At least 10% of takings will be donated to Asppire. Asppire currently has one project running which is for the benefit of people in the Solomon Islands. Setting up an internet cafe for the Teachers in Gilbert camp, Honiara. The teachers in Solomon, whether government supported or private have not had the opportunity to be regulary paid this year. Gilbert Camp, Global Harvest school has at least paid the teachers rice per fortnight but as you know as a mother, this will not sustain a family's needs. We need to support the teachers who are supporting our future generation. Yes they are in Solomon Islands. But we can do so much there with so little here, Our ideas can be such a huge support for people with a passion to succeed in Solomon Islands.
