We're Going to Uganda

In less than two weeks, my husband and I will be boarding a plane for Uganda.  We are traveling with our pastor and his wife.  We are working with a pastor there who has started and over-sees 130+ churches and feeds over 3,000 orphans each month.  We plan to train Pastors, lead healing and evangelistic crusades and see how we can establish businesses to help support and improve the lives of orphans and struggling families.  One of my endeavors is to create a hand-craft co-operative for women who are interested in hand crafting crocheted cotton washcloths for soap makers (this will probably expand, but it is a starting point).  Cotton is a pretty big industry in Uganda, but the country lacks the "value added" aspect to it's raw products.  Producing yarn and then crocheting an item increases the value of the raw product tremendously.  I am excited about promoting a product in the US which will help impoverished women in Africa.  I am specifically designing a round washcloth that would tie around round soaps (made in PVC pipes) and a retangular washcloths to fit the rectangular size soaps from my soap making video. 

I will also be looking for raw products that can be used in soap making.

If you have any thoughts or ideas before I leave, I'd love your comments!
