It is all about connections and timing! When we think back to our initial planning stages of the Girls Empowerment group we wanted to launch, we remember that it was all about connections….. the right place, the right time….paths crossed just as they were supposed to….. God orchestrated and timed it.... it was all right on time! The shell of our organization for our work in Kenya was already in place with women’s skill building classes, girl’s empowerment sessions, and our Shining Scholar’s Sponsorship Program….

The Unknown Trucker is a real person that we have not yet met! We do know his real name though! As we grew our relationship with The Refugio (The Refuge) in Mexico to support the women’s programming, the items that we often support such as pads, soaps, towels, etc. piled up into boxes. The airlines only allow up to 50 pounds per bag and going to Mexico, the airlines allow only one checked bag per person. So, with that noted, getting everything to The Refugio can be challenging and it was being done over several trips. At one of our meetings with The Refugio and their staff, we discussed buying these basic needs from a warehouse in bulk for better savings and value. It allows us to be better
