I intended to tell you this story when I arrived but it's been lost in the shuffle. Only tonight did I realize how crazy the connections get when you get into this Uganda world!
As you may have heard, I ended up being on a flight from Amsterdam to Entebbe with a woman I have been facebook friends with for a while but haven't gotten to meet in person. She posted about a month ago when she was coming and where she was flying through and I realized we were going to be traveling that stretch together! It was so cool to actually meet in person and she had a team of 4 total including this awesome lady named Amber so I got to meet their whole team!
So we're talking in Amsterdam, fly to Uganda, and they are helping me so much gather my baggage since I was traveling alone. As I'm loading one of my 70lb-ers onto the cart my friend, Brandi said, "Hey, where did you get that bracelet?" I said, "Oh man, I love this so much. I found it on Etsy and ordered it for myself for my husband to put in my stocking at Christmas. And the cool part is, it even came neatly wrapped so all I had to do was literally put it in my stocking."
Brandi said, "Um, yeah so Amber made that." SAY WHAT? Yes, Amber, the girl I just met in Amsterdam, the girl traveling with Brandi to go to Uganda to teach women how to stamp leather to make stuff to sell and support their families...that Amber, she's the one I bought the bracelet from that I found on Etsy and bought for myself for Christmas. SO crazy.
Seriously though, you should check this out. The bracelets they stamp this week they will be selling and Amber sells some other awesome ones (like the one I bought) on there too! Not to mention what a great way to support mamas and families around the world!
