As many know, Hubby was born in Africa. He lived in Burundi, Rwanda and Kenya. His parents were missionaries over there. Of course now, Africa has a very special place in my heart.
For Christmas, Mom and Dad Young gave me the most beautiful place mats and napkins from the Congo. Mom told me she bought them a friend of the family Dawn. Dawn is married to Sam, who happens to be like family to the Youngs. Sam's parents were also missionaries with Mom and Dad. Their son, Sam and Rob were like brothers.
Dawn is trying to help the women in Goma to sell their work. Sam and Dawn spent several years over there. I had the privilege of meeting Dawn and Sam this past summer. I happen to find Dawn's blog today, http://fromcongo.blogspot.com/. Please take a look at the beautiful work and their story. Also visit their on line web store, http://www.shonacongo.com.
I will post a pic of my place mats hopefully this week. ( Hubby is responsible of all posting of pics! I can do it but he is on the computer more than I am)
