Did you know that the social enterprise ‘Me to We’ is selling these bracelets? They are made by artisans in Kenya, who are using this product as a tool to rise out of the cycle of poverty, to make 100% of the profit on their own creations, and to support their families. @metowe

Throwback to one year ago, when Wilson & Jackson came to Washington state for a visit! They gave some incredibly informative and fun presentations to multiple schools about their story and the Maasai communities in Kenya. We will miss them this year. Asante sana! #asantesana

Last Thursday was World Water Day. 80% of the health issues in developing nations are caused by poor sanitation and water. Next month, schools throughout the country will be taking action on the issue of clean water access, by participating in an exciting water walk. Stay tuned!
