Made with Lots of Love


    Always be faithful in little things, for in them our strength lies- Mother Teresa 
      In two weeks Project2Love will be in Managua, Nicaragua to visit some coffee farms and will be bringing some dresses along with us made out of pillow cases by www.madewithlotsoflove.org to give to little girls at a school on one of the coffee farms.
   Made with Lots of Love is made up of women and one man who are passionate about loving people and sowing. They take pillow cases and used material to make dresses to for little girls all over the globe. Over 500 dresses have been sent to Uganda, South Africa, Honduras, Belize, Cambodia, and our local White Rock Apartments here in El Dorado County. This group is not only making a difference across the seas but also here in our local community. 
    Human trafficking is an issue dear to Project2Love's heart and children overseas are less likely to be kidnapped and picked up for human trafficking if they have something so simple as a patch on their clothing. It shows that they belong to someone...Each dress has a patch sown on it that represents a global org called Hope4Women International.


    How you can help partner with us: Have any old pillow cases? Traveling overseas and would like to give some little ones a dress? Or know of anyone in your neighborhood that has a need for clothes? Let us know. Even if you don’t have any sowing skills (like me) you can still help pin and cut material…
   Check out their website at www.madewithlotsoflove.org if you would like to be part of this cute little project or you can email us at hannah.project2@gmail.com

Women's Harvest

     
      Currently this coffee is on a boat making its way up to California to be roasted here in Northern California by El Dorado Roasting Co. Cafe de Costa Rica 'Women's Harvest' is the first coffee offered by El Dorado Roasting Co. that is part of Project2Love. This coffee is funded by the International Women's Coffee Alliance -Costa Rica chapter as being harvested by women and donates part of their proceeds to a  home for girls ran by Nuns that have been abandoned or abused called the Hogar 'Madre del Redentor.' El Dorado Roasting Co. is the first to bring this coffee in from Costa Rica to be sold in the U.S. market. The Women's Harvest coffee is currently only sold in Costa Rica and soon we will be able to share in the work they are doing there.
