Jackson's story
First of all, there was Jackson's story. One of his clients, an
Italian woman, wanted to help after he had taken her to his village to
visit his mother. After seeing that Jackson's mother had to walk for
miles to get water, which she carried home in a big heavy jug on her
head, this woman went back to Italy to raise money to bring water to the
village. As a result of her efforts, the village had water, the school
had water which enabled them to give each of the 700 children fresh
water and breakfast each day. We asked him how much the project cost,
expecting to hear a very large number for something that would make a
difference for so many. $5000 was the figure and we were inspired that
we too, could make a difference in some lives in Tanzania.
And then as we drove along on our way to the
Serengeti, we knew we wanted to do more and Jambo Creations was born
over the next 10 days in our Land Cruiser and midwifed by our guides,
Clamian and Jackson.
Andrea had the initial idea. Why not create a line of fashion products
to sell on Etsy, http://www.etsy.com/people/JamboCreations?ref=si_pr with the proceeds going to help the school?
