This blog was created to spread the vision of our work in Tanzania. After working in Arusha for a few years now I have discovered that to make any real change we must focus on the women of this community. Our nonprofit Shining Light (www.shiningalight.org) has been created to provide jobs to women in extreme poverty so that they can be empowered to care for themselves and their families. Our goal is to keep women working and children educated.

This is our preschool. Shining Light is working with the very poorest women of this community. Their children had no place for their preschool so they are now having their school at my new house in the village. Each day these little kiddies come to my house from 3 years old up to seven years old to attend school. Our hope is that soon we can move the workshop where their mamas make out beautiful handmade sandals to the house as well so that the mothers can be together with their children. You can purchase the sandals at www.shiningalight.org.
