What an honour it was for us to spend the afternoon last Saturday at Kwantlen University in Surrey with the girls and women of Global Girls Power. They are a very impressive group of young women intent on making a better world for us all.
We had our table display of bead jewelry, shea products, bags and information about supporting Girls Education in Uganda. We presented the BeadforLife work to a whole new audience. Looking forward to working with those who attended the conference, in the future.

Among the presenters at the conference was Madeleine Shaw, one of the founders of LunaPads, Here is a link to their blog informing us of their work in Uganda. http://lunapads.com/blog/2014/10/one4her-basic-pader-girls-academy/
So satisfying to know that she has connected with BeadforLife there.
This Global Girls Power group in Surrey has committed themselves to raising $5000 for a Clean Water Project in India. It is clear to us that these girls are making a difference. You are an inspiring group. Congratulations.
Our next events will include our twice monthly sale at the River Market at Westminster Quay on Saturday, October 18 and then onto Capilano University in North Vancouver for the first time. There will be a live streaming there of WE Day, Vancouver http://yourdailycap.ca/the-awesome-power-of-we/ this event will be on Wednesday October 22. We will have our table display and sale for the high school students in attendance.
