Carpenter's Kids builds relationships and hope

>By Lisa B. Hamilton

[Episcopal Life] His arms filled with a school uniform, sturdy shoes,
soap and school supplies and his stomach with the promise of breakfast
every school morning, the little boy beamed. "Now I am real person,
just like everybody else," he said. Selected by his village in the
Diocese of Central Tanganyika as one of the diocese's neediest
children - many of them HIV/AIDs orphans - he is now a "carpenter's
kid."

>CATALYST

"Large Blessing Bag with Cup and Altar Cloth" from The Blessing Cup,
Project, $135

[The Blessing Cup Project] The blessing bags come in a variety of
colors with runes and other hand beading attached. They can be given
alone or as a "sacred altar abundance bag."

The Blessing Cup Project was developed to support women in transition
through the creation and marketing of artistic items. These items are
made by hand. We believe that women shifting from poverty into a
sustainable future with hope can be supported economically and
spiritually in this project of collaboration and creativity. All are
blessed when we focus on abundance and gratitude. When we live with
grateful hearts, we have more than enough.
