International Day of the Girl Child… Angel Crafts Shop…

It was the UN International Day of the Girl Child (IDGC) on October 11th;  a day designated for promoting the rights of girls and addressing the unique challenges they face.

This is the 3rd year of IDGC and this year´s theme is “Empowering adolescent girls: Ending the cycle of violence”.

Why is this an important event? Because even though we live in the 21st century, a time where all peoples are supposed to be free, many are not free at all. Way too many are girls who are trapped and voiceless.

You can read the statement from UN Women Executive Director Phumzile Mlambo-Ngcuka here. And you can read more off the UN website. There is also a video on the UNICEF website which gives more insight.

In order to commemorate this day, Angel Crafts Shop is running a special – BUY 2 GET 1 FREE. Visit the shop to get the code and take advantage of this offer. Remember your purchase will also help our Orphan of the Month, Addie, grow her adoption grant.

Thank you.

Your Contributions Making a Difference…

It’s time to look back at the last 3 months and how your purchases from Angel Crafts Shop has helped some precious orphans grow their adoption grants.

Lolita was the Orphan of the Month for both July and August because everyone was on summer holidays and no one shopped during July. We sold US$34 worth of items during those two months. So Lolita‘s grant grew by US$17.

Cody was the Orphan of the Month for September. We sold US$66 worth of items last month. So US$33 was given to Cody‘s grant, which takes his grant into double digits.

Please do continue to PRAY for both Lolita and Cody; pray for their well-being and for their respective forever families to come for them. Do also SHARE their stories so more people may help them.

Thank you so very much for all your support.

Please continue to shop at Angel Crafts Shop; share Angel Crafts Shop and how a little shopping can help grow an orphan’s adoption grant. You and your family and friends can play a small part in helping bring an orphan closer to a forever home.

The Orphan of the Month for October is Addie! Read more about her here.

Thank you.
