Aylie and Andrew traveled to Mohale's Hoek, Lesotho in the summer of 2010. We worked with Sr. Juliana and the people of the St. Camillus Centre for Orphaned and Vulnerable Children for 3 weeks, and while we were there the children made some beautiful artwork. We have used images of their cut paper flowers to make note cards and buttons in the hopes of raising money to send back to Sr. Juliana and the people of St. Camillus. Please see below for donation info, and thank you for your support and interest!

Thank you to all of our supporters!

We're hard at work printing cards and sending out your orders. We wanted to write a quick note to thank everyone who's ordered cards and made donations so far. A special thank you to Frances for providing all of our paper and envelopes.
