Kindness Charms 

A group of local women in Sedona have gathered together donating their time to decorate chains with recycled and reusable items such as jewelry and charms. These charm chains are then placed in areas around Sedona, waiting to find the right people. Our whole intent is to send a message to share and spread kindness everywhere.  Please feel free to comment at CharmedSedona@gmail.com or at Charmed Sedona on Facebook.  For more information visit our blog http://kindnesscharms.blogspot.com/

If you want to help out we will be collecting donated jewelry at the October meeting of The Sedona Women.  You can bring your jewelry to the Cookbook sales table.

 Bwindi Community Program

Jan and Jim Tanis, while traveling in Uganda in 2007, met a very charismatic young man.  He lived in a small village called Buhoma near the gate to the Bwindi Impenetrable Forest National Park.  They developed a friendship with him over the internet (Yahoo reaches amazing places) and supported his education for a couple of years.

In January 2010, Bwindi Community Program was incorporated and it has become a 501 (c) (3) tax-deductible charity. The program has its first twenty children in primary school this year and hopes to increase that number in 2011.  Education is a major building block in stemming poverty and HIV/AIDS in Uganda . 

Please visit their website http://bwindicommunityprogram.org to see the children’s smiling faces and learn more about the program.
