SMILE

I know I have been lazy keeping up with the blog posts whilst quite active on our Sheabutter Cottage facebook fanpage.
Things have got hectic at the "cottage" lately in between planning trips and ordering stock.

It is almost midnight and I am looking forward to enjoying the extra hour's sleep.

I just however wanted to leave you with this quote.

No smile is as beautiful as the one that struggles through the tears.

THANK YOU - YOUR ORDER MAKES A DIFFERENCE

Good afternoon on this nice and sunny first day of a new month.
My cheeks feel warm to touch but not because of the warm weather but because of your support - thank you to everyone.
Yes, your order does make a difference and I can confirm that we have today paid health insurance for all 118 members of the 2 shea co-ops [Gubdanda + Gub-Kati-Gbai] in Ghana as well as Arahanatu Abukari  (circled below) who is 7 years old and lives in Gumu.

Arahanatu attends a school about 3 miles from home. Her mother Memunatu works at the shea co-op she will receive her share towards her education as follows:
₵20 per term
₵40 for books for the year
₵20 for school uniforms (including fabric + sewing)
₵5 health insurance
₵15 for 2 pairs of second-hand shoes


Thank you very much for supporting our helping hand programme which is stretched beyond Ghana.


Have a great month
