Don't you want some?

Aren't these so cool? These are handmade cards and paper. Empowering Lives International works alongside nationals in Kenya, the Congo, and Sudan to help the people living there rise up out of the grasp of poverty.

Through the Paper Project, people living in poverty learn how to make and design paper with the things that are already around them in their villages. All of the money goes right back into this program.

I have a big box full of cards, paper, envelopes,and little purse things. Comment or email me and I'll bring some to you. (leahvis@gmail.com)

Oh, the coolest thing is that on every piece is a number. You can go on ELI's website, look that number up, and read about the very person who made your paper.
