Sole Hope

Please take a minute and visit my friend, Ashers, blog. She, her husband and their two kids, have started a movement in the lives of widows and children in Ndola, Zambia and they need our help. One of their goals is to provide a pair of shoes for every child...600 kids and their broken, bleeding, worn out, little feet. Asher has created a shoe, from scratch, that she plans to take with her on her next trip and to teach the women in the village how to make them. But this costs money. For $25, you can sponsor a child and LITERALLY change their life because that $25 will put shoes on their feet.

Please check out Ashers' blog http://www.solehope.wordpress.com/. On the right hand side, there will be a button that says "Donate". Also, make sure you peruse the rest of her blog. There is so much beauty in the hearts of the people Asher and her family are trying to reach. It amazes me, because they would give you anything you needed even though they don't have much.

God has commissioned all of us to care for the widows and orphans. And He has equipped us with compassionate and loving hearts.

How does this relate to The Bella Project? Well, beauty exists within us and through our actions. Supporting a cause like this is a beautiful, selfless action to take. "Though we travel the world over to find the beautiful, we must carry it with us or we find it not." -Ralph Waldo Emerson
