SOUL SISTER SHOP·THURSDAY, MAY 14, 2020·
We are a small retail business, using this platform as our fundraising to help build homes for families who need a decent place to sleep at night.We fund all our own costs to participate in this work that we do in partnership with and their Global Village program- both here at home, and in Zambia. 2020 would have marked our 10

th year working with our friends at - we hope to be able to resume our work once we know everyone is safe. We’re using this time of isolation and social distancing to make, create, build, stitch, paint, repair, imagine, and discover ways to use what we have or find, to raise the funds to take an even larger team with us to build more home, for more families, once safe to do so. All proceeds from our products go directly towards the causes we support. And we love making the planet more beautiful by recycling, reusing, refurbishing, and repurposing old discarded items into new treasures for you. Volunteering gives us the opportunity to be a part of something bigger than ourselves and to use our own skills and knowledge to stay involved with our communities and to help others that need a hand. Some of our most rewarding efforts have been helping to build homes for families in Calgary, the Yukon Territories, and abroad in Zambia and Vietnam. It is always heartwarming to see the significant impact that safe housing has on the children and the parents who were previously living in extreme poverty.

Shoutout to the incredible Doll Knitters at South Calgary Community Church! 🧶✨💖

Operation Doll Knit has been spreading joy since 2005, creating over 45,000 handmade dolls that have travelled around the world bringing comfort and smiles. This year, the amazing knitters donated 100 adorable dolls to our trip to Zambia, and they brought pure happiness to the children at Hillside Academy in Lusaka, Zambia! 😄🎉

Got extra yarn lying around? The knitters would love it! They prefer worsted/4-weight but happily use anything that comes their way. Just contact South Calgary Community Church if you’d like to donate.

Thank you, Doll Knitters—your kindness travels farther than you know! 💕🌍🧸

✨ Thank You, Christine & Team at Shoppers Millrise! ✨

We are so grateful to Christine (pharmacist & owner) and her amazing team at our local Shoppers Drug Mart in SW Calgary, Millrise for donating all the over-the-counter supplies we’ll need to top up our first aid kit for our trip to Kitwe, Zambia 🩺✈️.

Christine and her team had also supported us with our previous builds, and we can’t say enough about the excellent travel clinic and the warm, reliable service her team always provides. 💙

With their generous donation, we’ll be ready to build toilets at Makuba Primary School and support the kids and community in Kitwe. 🙏
