NEPALI Jewelry Open House

NEPALI Jewelry Open House:

Where:    Amy McLean's House

When:     Thursday, November 19th 4-9pm

Friday, November 20th, 3-9pm

Saturday, November 21st, 3-9pm

The proceeds from this event benefit Nepali women who are widowed, abandoned, physically handicapped, left in extreme poverty, or have been tricked into prostitution.  Amy's sister, Karen, works with these women as they are severally marginalized and receive no  finacial support from the government or church ( the church provides emotional and spiritual support, but the church is also poor) and have no hope for the future.  Aside from the cost of goods and shipping, 100% of the remaining money is used to assist these women in Nepal with health care, emergencies and other needs for their families.  Motivated by Christ's love for our Nepali sisters in the Lord, Amy, her mom, her sister Lisa, and a handful of volunteers sell the jewelry at various open houses through out the year.  We would be so happy if you, your family, friends and co-workers would join us for this benefit so we can further the well being of these women and their families.

Tim and Karen Chase have been on staff with Mission Aviation Fellowship (www.maf.org) since 1995, first in Indonesia, and now in Nepal. Karen is involved with God-centered organizations in Nepal which include Emmanuel Crafts (women whose husbands have abandoned them or died), Princess Home and Bethesda Crafts ( homes for women rescued from prostitution), and Higher Grounds ( an outreach coffee shop). Through their employment, the women are able to provide a simple living for themselves and their families and basic education for their children.
