JOIN THE STORY! GBP Open-House Invitation
Dear Friends, Global Bag Project bags on chairs
We are asking you this Christmas season to make an INTENTIONAL PURCHASE. This means that: • You aren’t looking for a bargain. • You are sticking your nose up at blue-light specials. • You are not hunting for the cheapest item on the shelf or on the rack.
Instead,
you are purposely determining to purchase bags made by Kenyan sisters
who are eager to work their way out of poverty. These beautifully-made
kanga-cloth, East African fabric shopping bags have been re-priced with
enough margins so that hard-working women can feed their children, meet
the rent bill, afford tuition, and buy school books.
We’ve
raised the prices on the bags confident that most of you, wanting to
live with a GLOCAL mindset (living locally but thinking globally), will
intentionally purchase bags that offer a decent living to the women who
make them. Your purchase can help break the cycle of poverty.
For those who live in or near West Chicago See you for a crucial twenty minutes at: Global Bag Project Holiday Open House Time/Date: Sunday, December 13, from 3-6 p.m. Place: New Jerusalem House of Prayer 100 Wycliffe Drive West Chicago, IL 60185
This
is simply a Holiday Open House, no presentations or sales pitches to
sit through. Or you can make an intentional purchase by going to the
Web site, www.GlobalBagProject.org.
