I MISS Y O U !

Hey guys! I feel so bad neglecting my blog! But I have been soo busy! I am taking 7 classes and it will be like this until May. So please bear with me  :D . Although I am super busy I still have been keeping in contact with Ethiopia on pretty much a weekly basis.
& Here is my princess:

OMG I cant with her cuteness! :D….I mean just look at that smile
Well as for me, in addition to my classes I am working on my 30pg research analysis over the data I collected over the summer. 

I am also working on starting a campaign for people in Ethiopia. The past years people have donated their old clothes, which is GREATLY valued & deeply appreciated; but I want to develop maybe a site where I can find deals on specific needs on individuals I’ve came across and purchasing them new or fairly new items! 

Picture
For Example, I found this beautiful dress (photo above) for Bereket that she needs (not because I spoil her :P…jk…) for $12 on AliExpress. It came out really nice & I thought it would be cute for her lil friends to have them in different colors.
I think it is important to show when giving, you’re not just giving scraps (not implying thats what anyone did)! But how much more of an impact could we have on an individual who is lacking to receive not only cute but new items. Enabling a sense of ownership & not someone’s hand-me-downs (although those are great too! Just not when they should be thrown away)
 For the campaign I would display the dress & price, link the address to purchase, have a mini bio dedicated to her & her size. Then once someone purchases it, the item would be checked off the list.  Almost like a  “donation” registry. 
Usually I’ll ask some of the girls what their needs are and I cannot get them all on my own as a college student working 20hrs a week. So if you know anyone who could help me or recommend any websites I could sign up for to bring life to this dream that would be AWESOME! ​
