Last November I went to Swaziland, Africa to meet all the incredible people and kids at our care point Ngungwane through Children’s HopeChest. Ngungwane is something Josh and I introduced to our previous church and we have sponsor kids at the care point and are still very much connected to this country and all their amazing people. I really want to go back this year and am working on getting a team together to make this happen. Excited to see what God has in store.

While I was there I had lots of opportunities to talk with Amy and Steve who work directly with Ngungwane about some specific needs at the care point. There were several big projects and then they also mentioned needing tables and chairs for the on site building. This building is used for all types of things, but they now have a preschool teacher coming to the care point 4 days a week for all the littles and they have no tables or chairs.
While in Swaziland, one of the things I felt God really impressing on my heart was just what all He could do through open vessels…flawed people…sinners…who simply say “yes” or “okay God”. We want to be those flawed, but willing vessels.
We’re having a Noonday party this Thursday, March 27th at our house from 6-8. Here’s the deal…I talked with CHC this week and Ngungwane’s wish list for the tables and chairs would be 5 tables and 30 chairs. Each table is $50 and each chair is $12. That puts us right at $610. These are good, metal tables and chairs which will last them for a long time. When you host a Noonday party the more items people buy, the more credit you get to purchase items for yourself. What we’re going to do is take those items we get on credit and turn around and share those with you guys while raising funds for table and chairs for Ngungwane. So the more you purchase the more items we will get to turn into money for these tables and chairs. It’s a win/win.
I would absolutely love to fill our house with women from all over. I would love to meet you and chat and purchase with purpose together. Noonday is an absolutely incredible company and there new spring line is off the charts. So if you want to have a fun girls night come and hang with us and bring a friend.
We’ll have food and drinks for you as well. So mark your calendars, call your friends, send me a message if you need more information and get ready to have some fashionable fun while helping change the world.
Happy Monday!
Awesome! Love Noonday already and love, love, love the fact that you’re turning awesome Noonday jewelry (or their amazing spring collection bags!) into an opportunity to raise money for tables and chairs for cute little ones! You are the BEST! Great idea! I wish I lived closer and could come to your party! Hope you have an unbelievable turn out! Prayers for this “YES!”!!
