Some exciting things that are happening in the West



As we get closer to closing up another amazing and successful year of work in Kenya, we are reminded of all of the great things that we have accomplished. It's been a busy year for CTC International in Kenya but we can't forget about all the work that has been done here in the west by our volunteers.Comfort the Children would literally be nowhere if it weren't for all of the volunteers that host fundraisers, awareness events and save up money to make the journey all the way over to Africa.

We just wanted to give you all a quick update on an exciting event that took place last month in Kansas.

In November, CTC joined K State for their Fairtrade Marketplace. CTC was invited to set up a booth and sell our L.I.F.E. bags.The marketplace, which was open to the public, is sponsored by UFM Community Learning Center and K-State Fair Trade Advocates. It features quality-made products from impoverished countries. Items available will include handmade jewelry, clothing, coffee, greeting cards, handbags, home decor and more.

We would like to thank all of the volunteers that worked for two days for hours straight at our booth. The ladies all volunteered to work at our booth and sold bags and educated people that stopped by about CTC and the L.I.F.E. bag project.

Special thanks to Courtney Held, Valarie Stull,Laura Banks,Sandra Proctor,Sarah Rajewski,Mary Higgins,Allison Mcmillan,Dena Bunnel and our volunteer of the month Alice Johnston.


Thanks to all of the volunteers that continue to spread the word for CTC.
