RARA Bags

Kevin and I have been sending emails back and forth for about a year trying to hook up, but it never seemed to work out.
(Before we go any further, yes, Kevin is a girl.)
Last week Dan went to meet Amelia from the UN to get a copy of the story she did about us a few months ago along with some other educational stuff she had done on HIV, HIV stigma, treatments, medication and domestic violence for us to show the ladies who would be waiting while we did fifty ultra sounds last Thursday with Dr. Parks.
Late Wednesday night Sarah and I previewed the videos and guess who's story was also on the same DVD as ours?
Yep, it was Kevin.
I emailed her the next morning and said it must have been a sign and we really should hook up.
Last night she had a small get together at her house for a Mother's Day sale.
It was fun to finally connect and see what she has been doing.

If there is something Haiti doesn't need it is more trash on the streets. I love that she is doing something about it in such a positive way. So, what is a RARA bag....
RARA bags are constructed from up to 100% re purposed post consumer and industry waste materials.
Each bag is handmade and helping Haiti reduce waste while building income generating skills.
They collect and use plastic screen mesh used on packages of fruits and vegetables, potato chip bags, pretzel bags, coffee bags, cookie packages, metallic butter packages, granola bar packages, bottle labels and pet food bags.
