A Great Result!

Thanks to everyone who came out for our Trunk Show!  With these donations and purchases we can fund the building of a new safehouse and help send the newest intake of young women to college.  In return, many of our supporters are now wearing stylish WAVE-ware around town.  Special thanks to Barb Nevins at Southwest Cafe for making it all possible.  Stop in there if you're in the area - the food's terrific and the staff are all great.

I'm going back to Cambodia in January and will be re-stocking for future events.  And who knows?  Maybe an online store...... I'll be sure to bring back some of the beautiful 'golden' silk throws which were such a hit at our recent sale at Ridegfield Playhouse.

A couple of people have expressed interest in sponsoring one of our new students through her college years.  There'll be more news about this soon.  There'll be opportunities to sponsor a girl's tuition for a year, or to become a shareholder in one student's education.

Thanks for all the support and inspiration.  Your comments are welcome.

Happy Holidays!

  1. Hi Michelle - I really enjoyed giving the Cambodian silk scarfs from WAVoilencE for the holidays. They were very well received. Good luck on your travels.
