return to rwanda

 

Hey everyone! So, remember my friend Betsie and her trip to Rwanda last November? Well, her efforts there were successful, and she has now been approached to move to Rwanda and start serving with the women over there full time! 

Betsie will be moving over there at the end of April. By that time she needs to raise $12,000, plus commitments that reach up to $2,000 a month. These costs will cover her getting there and her needs for living while she is there. 

She will continue to work with the women of Rwanda and teach them skills they need to support themselves. 

To see more about what she did in November and what she will be doing starting in April, visit this site:

Below are pictures of some cards that are available in my Etsy shop. All sales from these cards will go towards supporting Betsie while she is in Africa.

Happy Birthday to Claire!
Her birthday was last week, but I had to wait until I could share pictures from our trip to San Antonio to celebrate!
It was a great weekend of reunions, laughs, relaxing, eating, exploring, and eating some more. 
No better way to celebrate with this friend than with a road trip! 



Pit stop in Houston, at St. Arnold's


First stop in San Antonio, the Alamo! 
We remembered.

Such a fabulous reunion. 
So glad we could celebrate your life together, friend! Here's to many more!
