The WE Are Rafiki Campaign is about to begin! For the Holidays, we will be selling limited edition Rafikis! Rafikis are bracelets handmade in Kenya, and are currently selling for $12, and support a good cause. The We Are Rafiki campaign helps Kenyan Artisans earn a living and raise funds for community-led development projects. Money from each purchase will go to giving people in the village clean water; just $50 can give an average family water for life! There are 60 limited edition holiday Rafikis being sold next week (Normal Rafikis will be sold during January).

Thank you…… Witt and Drader families for the create space supplies. Claudia Defibaugh for the delicious cake!
