I got a real education and they stressed that 80% of people are on some kind of public assistance. We were shown a camp which the church supports and had a chance to meet some of the children who come to their Sunday night outreach where they earn point and then select a toy, book or some school supplies. I was reminded that God created us with generous hearts but also with a desire to work and earn our "daily bread." When asked what was their biggest need, Doug answered, " not money, if money could fix Appalachia, it would be fixed by now. We need intact families to come and be role models for these children who have rarely seen healthy family dynamics."</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">The Hope4Kids and Hope4Women team met some bright spots and I know the H4WI staff is praying for God's direction for next steps.</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">Pray for the people of Appalachia that their hearts open to Jesus and they can find the dignity of self-sufficiency.</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><br />

Peru is filled with amazing natural beauty and acres and acres of the most beautiful rainforests in the world. A dream land filled with pink river dolphins, monkeys, iridescent butterflies, turquoise ocean waters and colorful flowers, Peru seems close to heaven. But the deeper you look at this beautiful land, the more need you'll see. We travel regularly on <a href="http://www.lifetreeadventures.com/" title="short term mission">short term mission</a> trips to Peru to help the local Shipibo people. They are a kind and peaceful tribe of Amazon Indians who have inhabited the banks of the Ucayali River for as long as anybody can remember.<br />

My mind wanders to the people themselves. What are they thinking today? What do they know about what's happening in the world around them? What personal issues are they struggling with today? Like us, they face joys and pains. Losses of babies. Births of new babies. Losses of a precious relative. Challenges with interpersonal relationships. But they face something most of us don't. Because of a mere lack of education, they face simple things that can kill them or their children in a heartbeat. Too many just don't know about easy steps to water purification and their babies die. Too many aren't familiar with basic nutrition to prevent disease in their toddlers and elderly. Too many aren't aware of standard health and hygiene practices that can prevent infection and the spread of disease.<br />
You might be wondering if I still want to escape to Peru? Yes I do. I know that Lifetree mission trips to Peru provide the fragile link that they have to life-saving information. I know that Lifetree mission trips to Peru get things done when it comes to repairing flooded housing there. I know that Lifetree mission trips to Peru help to provide them with clean safe drinking water. So yes, I still dream of escaping to Peru. And I'm hoping you do too.<br />

On the 5<sup>th</sup> day, we went to an orphanage that takes in handicapped kids, and the four girls that live in this home (only 24 kids total) had already gone home to spend <span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1294260242_2">Christmas</span> with their family, so I left 4 beautiful dresses for them, along with most of the shorts. The house mom requested to take some of the gifts we brought to give them to the boys for Christmas, which is why I didn’t get any photos of the boys with shorts. I am very sorry! I know how nice it is to see photos, especially after all your hard work. <span style="color: red;">The local missionary, Kelly, offered to take the rest of the dresses and other shorts to one or two other homes in January and offered to send pictures then. I will send the photos on when I get them. Both Kelly and the housemom were very encouraged that you and a group of women had made the dresses for their kids!!</span> Thank you so much for sending them with me, it was a privilege to deliver them, my only regret is that I have no photos to show you!</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />

When I attended Joyce's conference in St. Louis in Sept., I took a dress, flier and letter and asked if we could partner with her to dress girls. I heard back and they said they'd love us to partner with them in supporting Love A Child in Haiti. You can learn more about them on their website. They have been in Haiti 20 years and have outreaches all over the island. So let's keep sewing!!</div>Carolynhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01447332932461206888noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2085209599225600029.post-50698041165630293742010-11-28T15:07:00.000-08:002010-11-28T15:07:23.867-08:00The world came to me this weekend<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiKpH3yQbpMH_lMb7OMD4sJWPtpFNBl1UpCbU4hyphenhyphenKF6RsKLprF7uWGjJRrtNJb5dpNFtTK8LQcCyLwp9F5b3E6x-ZvOCu8OkBiZTBgmklR7FsEavCQRalEvDG9zrbls8JfTRsWRTJewr_Y/s1600/Mosses+039.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="231" ox="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiKpH3yQbpMH_lMb7OMD4sJWPtpFNBl1UpCbU4hyphenhyphenKF6RsKLprF7uWGjJRrtNJb5dpNFtTK8LQcCyLwp9F5b3E6x-ZvOCu8OkBiZTBgmklR7FsEavCQRalEvDG9zrbls8JfTRsWRTJewr_Y/s320/Mosses+039.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>My Ugandan nephew Moses came to visit for Thanksgiving weekend and met many of those in Colorado who sent him books for the African Christian Children's Library.

The Hope4Kids team brought our 125 dresses, undies and dolls to Uganda this week. Rainy at my church, Lifespring, already identified some of these dresses as ones she made. Thanks for bringing smiles to these precious girls!

So today I went to Target and the thrift store and got clothes to mail to Kentucky for Kozy Klothes 4 Kids. Putting a 4 in there should set your minds at ease. Yikes, people!<br />
<br />
BTW Target has some great prices on fleece tops and other Kozy Klothes.Carolynhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01447332932461206888noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2085209599225600029.post-53778072106750625642010-10-24T13:05:00.000-07:002010-11-04T14:00:50.613-07:00Dress a Girl Around the World pattern<a href="http://dressagirlaroundtheworld.webs.com/apps/videos/videos/show/5207051-dress-a-girl-instructions">Dress a Girl Around the World</a><br />

Click on the Dress A Girl link to find out how to make a pillowcase dress. You can use fabric too. Make it out of flannel, knit or wool, add a t-shirt and it's a cold weather outfit for a girl in Kentucky. See my previous post to know where to mail them. <br />

(10,700 and counting!) Last summer DAG founder Rachel Cinader met Claudia Kerns who lives in Kentucky and has partnered Dress A Girl with the <span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1287784922_5" style="border-bottom: #366388 2px dotted; cursor: hand;">Christian Appalachian Project</span>. For the next two months, until <span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1287784922_6" style="background: none transparent scroll repeat 0% 0%; border-bottom: #366388 2px dotted; cursor: hand;">Dec. 23</span>, I am asking you to join me in helping these needy children right in our country. Both boys and girls need warm clothes. I'm calling it <em>Kozy Kids Klothes for Kentucky</em>. (OK, work with me here) Here is the email Claudia sent to me. Please clean out your kids' closets, shop at garage sales, thrift stores or store sales and pick up and mail these much needed items to Claudia. Put a little note in so she knows how you found out about the project. She will be the Lord's hands and feet to serve these little American children who are cold. God has richly blessed us, let's be a blessing! Please feel free to email me if you have any questions.</span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
