We have been preparing packages to send to our friends in Ethiopia to help them during this difficult time. As we were putting things together, Margo was trying to figure out what she could do to contribute. At the same time, I was planning the team picnic for Anna's softball team and getting things ready for that event. A light bulb went off in Margo's head during this planning frenzy and she decided she would make hair ribbons to sell at the picnic and she would also sell some LOVE bracelets Aunt Bridget had made for her students during their study of Ethiopia. The money she made from her "store" she would to use to help pay for school for the street girl Shawn and I met during our visits to Addis. Margo made business cards, receipts and signs to prepare and let everyone know what the money was going towards. Anna sent a text to all her teammates asking them to bring a buck or two to the picnic because Margo would be selling some things. I was so proud of all their efforts! Well, "Margo's Gifts" was a huge success and Margo made $35! Through the generousity of the team families and Margo's hard work, she is able to pay for a month of school for Sahara. My heart is still smiling!
