indian excitement

It's decided, we're going to India! After a period of patience, my internship with MESH design studio has been confirmed and our tickets are booked. My husband Matt and I are going to be in India for four months from the 6th of November until the 4th of March. We're very thrilled about all the opportunities that keep coming our way and thank God for all the amazing ways He is blessing us, clearly He has had these plans long before we discovered them. 

I am going to be designing products for MESH (Maximising Employment to Serve the Handicapped) and working with artisan groups to develop labels in Delhi and South India. Matt will be filming a short educational documentary about fair trade! Our good friend Anna has been instrumental in organising this internship and we are so keen to be working with her on these projects and touring South India with her and OP. Also crucial has been my communications with Jacky from MESH who will most likely be my supervisor.

Fair trade has been a passion of mine for quite some time now and through my journey with Jesus I have been developing aspirations to work with artisans to gain a sustainable income. It is my desire that I am able to establish relationships of equality with others and love everyone I meet with the love of Jesus. It is because of Him I am pursuing this direction, because of His work in the world and His work in me. Let that not be underestimated.
