Fundraiser update!
This blog will be about my next two fundraisers.
At the end are also links to REI registry and Amazon Wish List for my gear.
Fundraiser 1: Fair Trade Bracelets
If you know me or have seen me I probably have/had some type of Fair Trade on me! I love sporting some fair trade jewelry. Fair Trade has my heart and I have got to be part of and serve with two very special ones in the last year.
This is from my Senior sessions. All the bracelets are fair trade except one! Don’t you want a cool arm party too?
I have 50 bracelets to sell from the two favorite fair trade non-profits that I serve with.
The paper bead bracelet is from Mercy House Global and the wrap bracelet is from The Refugee Project. Each type of bracelet, are my everyday arm party necessities! I’m blessed that they would help me raise funds for this journey! The foundation of both non-profits is Jesus Christ and following in the steps of His greater plan. They are ministries that empower woman and share the love of Christ!
I have 30 Mercy House Global bracelets and I have 20 Refugee Project bracelets. I will be selling these bracelets for $20 each. So, I challenge you to partner with me by buying a bracelet to empower women in poverty together!
You can donate to my link on this blog and I can get you a bracelet! I can also take cash or check.
Snippets from each non-profits website:
“All items in this store are handmade by refugee women of Burma, Bhutan and Nepal who have been relocated to Houston, Texas by the United Nations for religious and ethnic persecution. By purchasing an item, you are empowering women by helping them meet some of their basic needs.”
“Empowering Women Around The Globe In Jesus’ Name
Mercy House exists to engage, empower and disciple women around the globe in Jesus’ name. Engage those with resources to say yes to the plight of women in poverty. Empower women and teenage mothers around the world through partnerships and sustainable fair trade product development. Disciple women to be lifelong followers of Jesus Christ.”
Fundraiser 2: “Adopt-A-Country”
I am giving you a chance to adopt a country that I will be going to. You will get a chance to get a detailed letter from me while I’m out on the field.
Here is how it works:
1. Pick a country or as many as you want 
Pick a country that you would want to pray for or feel called to.
2. Adopt that country for $20.
3. Let me know that you’ve donated and send me your address.
4. I will send you the cards you see above! It has my info and the name of the country you adopted! You will get a letter about the country and what we could be doing and few statistics to keep in mind and pray for before we go.
5. I am asking and challenging you to continue to pray for that country before, during, and after our time there!
6. At the end of the month I am in your country I will send you a detailed letter on what we did, what the Lord was doing and so much more!
Here’s a list of my countries:
India, Nepal, Thailand, Cambodia, Vietnam, Albania, Macedonia,
Bulgaria, Botswana, Swaziland, South Africa
Sidenote: I made these cards before I found out that my route has changed. I was going to Greece, that’s why I have cards that say Greece. Now I will be going to Albania during that time.
Wish List Links:
I need to get my gear ready by October for Training Camp. I am so excited but I have not got my stuff yet.
If you feel led to help me this way I would so appreciate it!
If you would like to buy a bracelet or adopt a country you can pay by using my link for donation and just let me know you did! I can also take cash or check!
I still need monthly support. I pray that you would be praying about how you can help me on this journey!
Soli Deo gloria,
Ally Hongkham
