Giving Tuesday

We’re waking up to Giving Tuesday, the day created to celebrate giving around the world. It probably hasn’t begun where you are as I write this, and we had big plans to greet you with lots and lots of opportunities to give to kids in need in our rural town in Africa. This was going to be a big day for us. We have a list of video requests to create for DonorSee.com in hopes that more people than usual would go there to look for creative and meaningful ways to give and feel good about changing a kid’s life. We were going to spend a good portion of the day creating and posting those videos. In fact, we were going to do that yesterday, but I got a migraine that knocked me out of commission. Then I woke up today with high hopes…and sickness again. It’s painfully clear that we will not be celebrating Giving Tuesday in the way we had hoped, but that’s no cause for despair. 

There are certainly many good charities to give to today, and we hope you will choose one. I know it’s more fun to click the button that sends a meal to a hungry kid than a paycheck to some long-time missionaries, but that’s exactly what we’re asking you to consider today, because giving to us is giving to them. We want to continue to give food and clothes and education to children, and we love being able to do it with virtually no overheard. We also know that you may tire of being asked to help, but as long as there are needy kids in our village with no other hope of having their needs met, we’ll keep asking. To date, we have not turned away any child who has come to us for food. Please consider making a tax deductible donation to https://www.paypal.me/MalawiWestworth or a donation to our personal account at paypal.me/JewellsinAfrica so we can continue to make that claim. We will keep posting photos and videos on Facebook, Instagram, Flickr, and DonorSee so you know how the money is being spent. Thank you so much for your generosity. 

Reasons to Give to Us:

1. You know us.
2. Our priority is to spread the Gospel.
3. The kids we work with have no other avenues of having their needs met.
4. We have virtually no overhead expenses. 
5. We post LOTS of photos and videos on social media so you can see where the money goes.
6. You’re welcome to come visit and be a part of the work we’re doing.
7. You can get a tax deduction.

You can see the difference just a few months of food, clothes, and education have made in Memory's life.
