Send Carlin to Malawi!


This spring I have the opportunity to go to Malawi with Market Colors and Summit Church. I love Market Colors and what they do. They collaborate with African craftsmen to create incredible products that they sell online and in stores throughout the world. You can find more information about them at www.marketcolors.org. The trip I will be taking will be from March 7, 2015 to March 17, 2015.

While the team and I are in Malawi we will be working with a group of craftsmen involved with the Widows Program with Children of the Nations. The group we are going to visit, is about thirty women, their skill sets aren't as strong as some of the other Market Colors groups, so Market Colors isn't able to order from them as frequently. We will focus our ten days overseas on increasing their skill set and developing concept pieces for the 2015 items from Malawi. By teaching them these skills, we will be fulfilling a very real need for Market Colors and equipping these women!

I can not wait to meet these wonderful women and spend time with them teaching them how to make new products. I would be honored to first and foremost have your support through prayer. I would also love your financial support if you are able. My personal expenses will include my passport, vaccinations, and other travel preparations. Before our departure, I need to raise $2,600 toward travel expenses for the trip.

The picture below shows you how to give online.



Thank you so much for your willingness to be a part of this trip and the larger mission of Market Colors, I can't wait to share stories of this incredible adventure with you!
