Off to Africa


I believe a big problem in our world is not focusing on the medical, educational, emotional, physical, etc... needs of women. We, at MEG Jewelry, celebrate and help support an agency in Ethiopia called Yezelalem Minch (Neverending eternal spring). Check them out on facebook at Yezelalem Minch. YZM (Yezelalem Minch) supports widows and orphaned children by educating them and teaching them ways to support themselves. This even includes making and selling jewelry at markets. We have been fortunate to work with them several times this year. And we will be working with them again this week. If you would like more information check out their facebook or feel free to contact me directly at nicole@megweddingjewelry.com or 563-252-1011
Here you see me shopping for some beautiful scarves and clothes made by women who graduated from the YZM sewing program.
