Starting this Sunday, February 13, 2011, you can buy rubber bracelets to help support my trip. These bracelets are like the Livestrong bracelets that a lot of people wear. I have designed these bracelets myself. They will be dark green and say Love Ethiopia. When I think of Ethiopia I think of the color green. For some reason I associate colors with some things and when I think of Ethiopia my mind just goes right to green....dark green specifically. When trying to come up with what to put on these bracelets I knew Ethiopia I had be on it somewhere. I came up with Love Ethiopia. This has a couple different meanings. First of all, I truly love Ethiopia. I love the people, the country, and being there. I feel at home there. I am more myself in Ethiopia than any other place I have ever been in my life. And I was also thinking Love, Ethiopia. It's like a message from Ethiopia itself. Ethiopia is sending its love right back. I can't tell you how many hugs I have gotten from children over there or how welcoming people make you feel, or the honor you feel when someone does a coffee ceremony for you.
The bracelets will be sold for $5 each. I will give more information on Sunday as to how to purchase them. For now I just wanted you to be aware that this will be coming up. Once the sale starts it will be on going until they are sold out. I am putting in the order tomorrow for a certain number and believing they will all be sold. If I have to order more I will. The order I place tomorrow will not arrive until March so the first shipment will not be mailed out until the third week of March. So if you order before then, don't worry you will get your bracelets it will just take a little longer. And of course I will post as soon as they come in. If I sell every single bracelet that I will be ordering, it will be just under half of what I still have left to raise. Please spread the word about these bracelets. The ordering starts this Sunday!!! Post this on your Facebook, Twitter, or Blogs.
Remember the $50 Target gift card giveaway is going on until Saturday. Don't forget to get an entry in! A $15 donation to my trip gets you one entry. All information for that can be found in the post below this. Spread the word about the giveaway as well. Mark your calendars for Sunday!! These bracelets are going to be awesome! And I'm sure will go fast!!
LOVE ETHIOPIA!
