Calling
for Bras and Undies
All colors, sizes,
materials, you name it- we want it!
Why?
In
an effort to assist self empowerment of the local women of
Mikomfwa, one goal of VLH [Vima Lupwa Home] is to assist
starting up businesses with microloans [of money or goods].
We were recently approached with a unique, creative, easy and
inexpensive idea of setting up a small business at the local
market, where there is a need for women's undergarments
- this would make a very successful business.
We thought "Why not have an undie campaign?"
So please ladies, check your closets and drawers,
then send or bring any clean and functional extras to
VLH at 1550 NW Galveston, Bend, OR, 97701
"Therefore, we pledge to bind ourselves
to one another . . . to feed our starving, to clothe our ragged,
to do all good things, knowing that we are more than keepers of
our brothers and sisters. We are our brothers and sisters."
