Serendip is an independent site partnering with faculty at multiple colleges and universities around the world. Happy exploring!
general announcement: selling bags and bracelets
As some of you know, Sharaai and I worked with an organization called Shining Hope for Communities this summer, teaching at a free school for girls. Some of you have noticed our bags and bracelets, which we brought back from Kenya. These bags and bracelets are made by women in Kibera (the area we worked in) who are HIV positive. They sell these bags and bracelets as their source of income. Some of you have asked about these products and so we're going to bring them to class Tuesday and sell in the ten minutes before Jody's class begins (12:45-12:55) and after Anne's class ends (after 3:45). Bags are $20, bracelets are $5.
Here is the organizations website and a few pictures of our time there (yes, I am trying to bribe you with the girls' cuteness):
PS: I've had my issues with Serendip, but as you may have noticed, I'm loving it today....
