JARED & ILEA :: ENGAGED!

We are so comfortable where we are sometimes that it hurts to move or change..or even think about doing those things.  Jared and Ilea have been living the life of servants and haven’t been so comfortable.  They met while Ilea started working for a nonprofit that aided abused, prostituted and broken spirited African women.  I don’t want to try and explain everything they have endured,  but know that they are some of the strongest people i know.  Their most recent project is empowering African women in Rwanda to work and make money in the fashion industry.  Yes, you heard me right!!  Go to their website to learn all about KEZA and see how they are making a difference…a big one.  Now, onto some fun!
