Friday, November 19
In the morning, we met with an ASCA (Accumulated Savings and Credit Association) group. They allowed us to participate in making skin balm and floor polish, which they sell. With the proceeds, these entrepreneurs purchase additional supplies, earn money for household goods, assist orphans and vulnerable children and invest for the future.
After listening to the group of 17 women share about what they do and how it has impacted their families and community, I was reminded of Chapter 31 in Proverbs.
-Shana
13 She seeks wool and flax, and works with willing hands. 14 She is like the ships of the merchants; she brings food from afar. 15 She rises while it is yet night and provides food for her household and portions for her maidens. 16 She considers a field and buys it: with the fruit of her hands she plants a vineyard. 17 She dresses herself with strength and makes her arms strong. 18 She perceives that her merchandise is profitable. Her lamp does not go out at night. 19 She puts her hands to the distaff and her hands hold the spindle. 20 She opens her hand to the poor and reaches out her hands to the needy. ESV
