Local Iowa Store Sells Kenyan Mother's Handmade Jewelry

Vintage Iron, located downtown Cedar Falls, IA, began selling jewelry for a Kenyan mother working towards sustainability and to pay her children's school fees. This year,Over the Rainbow is sponsoring her three children's school fees while she reaches self-sustainability.  All proceeds go directly to the family. For more information on how to sponsor a child for 2010 or to purchase artifacts from Kenya contact info@over-therainbow.org

2009 Education Sponsorships for Kenyan Children!

We sponsored three Kenyan children so they can stay in school and get the education they need! They dream of being teachers, doctors and actors and most of all getting out of poverty. Due to school fees they are were getting kicked out so Over the Rainbow stepped in.   If you would like to join us in continuing their sponsorship in 2010 we are looking for an annual gift of $350, $600, or anything you can contribute. Contact us at sponsorship@over-therainbow.org for more information.   Sponsors receive photos, personalized letters, grade reports and updates on their progress.
