I was invited to have a table in front of a store on the square for sidewalk sales this past weekend. I had a great day as there were many people who were showing interest in what we are doing in Zambia! I sold a lot of jewelry and shared many stories. I met a wonderful couple who had just returned from Sierra Leon in June. It is great to talk to people who have a passion for Africa!
It was very windy and a couple of times we almost lost everything on the table but were saved, though many others near me had things blowing all over the place. We did lots of chasing and picking things up because of the wind.
My kids were up at different points with me and always prove to add fun to any situation where there are people to talk to. Kate loves to help organize things and put purchases in bags for people. Of course telling anybody who would listen that she wants to go with me next time and she thinks that it should just be so.
This was a good day for exposure as the square was very busy and it was really a beautiful day.
I am kicking myself for not taking a picture of us up there! I am getting better at setting up a table with a banner, fabric from Zambia a basket from Zambia, etc, etc. Always a work in progress.
Please continue to pray for us as we move forward in getting the word out about Extending Hands! It is exciting and a lot of hard work but we love every minute of it.
