Fifth Annual Upendo Village Holiday Bazaar

Charitable Holiday Shopping Event


This charitable shopping event features fair-trade crafts
and accessories made by the clients of Upendo Village, craft items made by the
Wheaton Franciscan Sisters, rummage sale, bake sale and raffle! To read more about this event please visit http://upendovillage.org/HolidayBazaar2013.htm



All proceeds from this event benefit Upendo Village, a
501(c)(3) located in Wheaton, IL that provides a comprehensive program for men,
women and children living with HIV/AIDS in Kenya.  The fair-trade crafts that will be available
for purchase at this event are created by a group of women in the program as a
means to support their family.  All
proceeds go back to the artisan.  The
craft program is just one of many programs coordinated by Upendo Village to
help impoverished people living with HIV/AIDS sustain themselves and their
family.  To learn more about Upendo
Village, go to www.upendovillage.org.
