<span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">In 2015, it was just a dream.</span></span><span style="color: black; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;"> </span><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">The Empowerment Project, was just words on paper that Destiny Women proposed to Amilia’s Light and the process of turning the dream to reality loomed ahead.</span></span><span style="color: black; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;"> </span><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">The project had to be tested, </span><span style="font-size: 14.6667px;">restructured and fine tuned t</span><span style="font-size: 11pt;">o meet the needs to mentor, train, educate and provide job opportunities for the young women that Destiny Women serves. </span></span><span style="color: black; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;"> </span><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">The partnership opened its doors in March 2016, and now, a little over a year later, girls, survivors of sex trafficking, who previously had to work in unendurable places under unbearable conditions have a safe and dignified place to work and learn vocational skills. </span></span><o:p></o:p></div>

<span style="color: black; font-family: "Calibri",sans-serif; font-size: 11.0pt;">Our generous donors joined the girls in choosing a name for what we envisioned would be a channel of hope and light in seemingly dark lives that have been wounded in many ways. 10,000 Lights Women’s Business Centre, (10KWBC) was the chosen name.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>A few girls were carefully chosen to get the business off the ground, knowing these choices would be key for the future growth of the project. The Centre opened with a hair salon and boutique.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It has since expanded to include a craft shop.</span><o:p></o:p></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 8.0pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: "Calibri",sans-serif; font-size: 11.0pt;">The girls have grown tremendously through their experiences working at the Centre. They are grateful for the opportunity to earn money to meet basic needs and support themselves. Benna joined 10KWBC in December 2016 and over the past months has grown in many ways. “Before I joined this business, I was not confident enough, but now I can talk to customers and sell and market our crafts without being shy. I thank you for this business because it has helped me to become a responsible person.” Teddy has also learned skills that already help her earn some extra income to take care of her and her 2-year-old daughter, Michelle.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Over the weekends when she is not at work, Teddy is able to use her newly-learned skills to plait hair at home to earn extra income. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

The task force is comprised of Destiny Women director Miriam Enyaga, two social workers, both graduates of Destiny Women’s program, and myself, Amilia’s Light liaison. We have assessed the girls’ strengths and how to channel their energies and abilities in order to both empower the girls and grow the business. According to Miriam, “Our girls have grown, they value themselves and each other so much more than when they first joined, and they have been able to generally take better care of themselves, which is crucial for their self-esteem and empowerment.” </span><o:p></o:p></div>

<span style="color: black; font-family: "Calibri",sans-serif; font-size: 11.0pt;">It has been a first year with many lessons learned and many challenges triumphed. Most importantly, the girls are hopeful and energized to continue to learn new skills and lessons that will enable them to be empowered.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It's just the beginning and we have so much more to learn. We are taking many steps toward our goal of turning the dream to empower these young women, to live more dignified and purposeful lives by giving them the tools to realize their own dreams.</span><o:p></o:p></div>

My most vivid memory of my trips to Phnom Penh felt like a pajama party. I sat crocheting with a</div>
<div class="p1">
group of giggling, chatty teenagers who could have been my daughter’s friends – mostly teens, but some were preteens. All these beautiful girls had been sex trafficked, and some were still trying to leave their trafficker.</div>

My time with the girls was brief but made a huge impact - not on them, but on me. My heart was broken. I returned home wanting to do more, so I started volunteering with Amilia’s Light when it was launched in 2014. We are helping to empower trafficking survivors in Uganda and in the Boston area. </div>

<b><br /></b>
<b>Volunteering Has an Impact</b></div>
<div class="p1">
We all want to make a difference in the world, don’t we? We want to help those in need. But a surprising benefit comes from having an impact on someone’s life: it’s invigorating. It feels good to ease someone’s burden.</div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
Not only does it feel good, volunteering is good for your mind and health. Researchers at the London School of Economics found evidence that volunteering 1-2 hours weekly makes you happier.</div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<b>Volunteering Builds Community</b></div>
<style type="text/css"> p.p1 {margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 14.0px 'Times New Roman'} p.p2 {margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 14.0px 'Times New Roman'; min-height: 16.0px} </style>
<br />
<div class="p1">
With consistent volunteering you form relationships with other workers and those you are helping, relieving feelings of loneliness and isolation. These relationships increase your social, and possibly professional, network, and give you an expanded safety net should you find yourself in need. </div>
<div class="p1">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
In addition, Psychology Today cites an improved immune system and a lower risk of depression, anxiety, and dementia as benefits of consistent socializing.</div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<b>Volunteering Lengthens Your Life</b></div>
<div class="p1">
Your psychological health improves when you volunteer consistently. It helps build self-confidence; HelpGuide.org says the right match can reduce stress, combat depression, keep you mentally stimulated, and provide a sense of purpose. </div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
Your body instinctively knows volunteering is good. The London School of Economics research found that when you assist others, your body releases dopamine, which improves your mood and reduces stress. Helping others makes you happier, helps you deal with anger and anxiety, and lowers your blood pressure.</div>

I love gardening and call it dirt therapy. Several years ago I began potting and selling my surplus plants to benefit Amilia’s Light. It’s a win-win. I’m doing something I enjoy that also impacts a survivor’s life. I always look forward to our annual plant sale. </div>

Many people don't have a choice. Their lives are taken from them and they don't have the ability to fight. Women and men sold for the purpose of making money. They lose their pronouns as he or she and they become a thing to be used. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="normal">
<br /></div>
<div class="normal">
Working to help these individuals is the mission of Amilia's Light.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Part of their work is to spread the word about human trafficking and show the meaning behind human trafficking. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="normal">
<br /></div>
<div class="normal">
We help people by showing these films, doing fundraisers and a lot of other every important work. It's not easy to take in the information, but very reassuring to know we are doing something to help.<span style="background: red; mso-highlight: red;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="normal">

<div class="normal">
The nonprofit recently hosted the showing of the film, Not My Life, which highlighted stories of people affected by human trafficking. One story was about small children that were trafficked. It brought tears to my eyes and a sick feeling in my stomach. Using children, some as young as four years old, for these acts is so incomprehensible, it’s hard to wrap my head around it.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="normal">
<br /></div>
<div class="normal">
Another story portrayed how traffickers don't really get caught. There are so many traffickers out there exploiting people, and they don't get caught or arrested. This infuriated me, personally. As a child, many of us were taught that if you do something wrong, there is going to be a consequence. This seldom occurs with human traffickers.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="normal">
<br /></div>
<div class="normal">
Sitting there watching the film with the rest of the audience, I observed people wanting to help and stop it all right now, but it seems so overwhelming. We can't end all the troubles and make all the pain go away, but we can start by learning about human trafficking and figuring how we can help. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="normal">
<br /></div>
<div class="normal">
My experience after joining and being a part of A5 has been amazing. From watching the movie to working with people in group meetings and meeting a survivor and hearing her story, I’ve realized that it's amazing <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">what we can do</i></b>. We show the hard stuff to people in the hope that it will raise awareness about the need to stand up and do something about this issue.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="normal">
<br /></div>
<div class="normal">
You have to be a strong person to be part of this mission, and we truly are.<o:p></o:p></div>

She was just 18, figuring out her path. She was enrolled in community college, majoring in journalism. She dreamed of becoming a writer. Then she met this guy. He was good looking, had money, lots of it, and bling - even Jesus bling. She had just been dumped, and he seemed interesting and safe. <o:p></o:p></div>

I just graduated from a vocational high school and passed the test in front of the cosmetology board.

I wanted to be a writer and move to New York someday, maybe write for one of those big name magazines.”</span><o:p></o:p></i></div>

<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><span style="background: white; mso-highlight: white;">But my dreams quickly faded as I got involved with a guy I met at a local nightclub. It was just a regular Friday or Saturday night; me and my girls were already drunk before we entered the club with our fake ID’s. We were having a good time, dancing and pushing away any whack-ass dudes that tried to step to us. Then this guy walked up to us, and he knew one of my friend's boyfriends so he was automatically cool. </span><o:p></o:p></i></div>

He bought her things, paid attention, made her feel special, and she began to trust. She thought he was her boyfriend.

Jasmine wasn’t so lucky. She was young, on her own and craving love and connection.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Don’t we all? Isn’t our DNA set up for that?

<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
Jasmine’s story is like many stories from survivors of sex trafficking. The circumstances may be different, but the stories all have similar threads. Vulnerability is one of those threads, and any one of us can be vulnerable. This week, many in our great nation are feeling vulnerable. Many others are feeling empowered, because they felt vulnerable before.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
What are the circumstances that lead to vulnerability? Too numerous to name in this blog. We’ve begun to explore those questions with the kids in the A5 Club at Medfield High School. They’re talking about objectification of women as a social norm, which can lead to vulnerability. <o:p></o:p></div>

But the business was very hard; I did not have good skills. </span><span style="font-size: 11pt;">Now, (that I’m training, and learning while I work) when baby Michelle falls sick, at least I can have a little money to take her to hospital for treatment,” she says. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Teddy grew up in one of Kampala’s shantytown areas called Kisenyi.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>"My mother was a cook and both she and my father worked hard to take care of our family." She explains, with her eyes downcast, that when her father "got another wife," life changed.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In her words, "Things became bad, and when he died I was six years old, things became even worse. My siblings and I started to collect scrap metal on weekends and sell fresh beans in the streets to earn some little money to take care of our family." With a weary and distant look and regret in her eyes she tells me more. "Life was tough. I had started selling drugs and was even starting to take them so that I could feel better about life." Teddy points to the scars on her right foot and explains how she got burnt while helping her mother with her cooking business to earn some money for the family. "I was young and did not really know what to do or how to take care of myself, but we needed the money as a family for school fees, rent and other basic needs at home."</span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Teddy also tells me that most of her friends, even though very young, had become prostitutes in order to make money, and it was very tempting for her, too.</span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> </span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Fortunately, it was then that a small NGO came to her rescue; this would later be her link to Destiny Women.</span></div>

Prior to joining 10,000 Lights Women’s Business Centre, Annet worked in a small business where the male business owner did not treat her with respect and dignity. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span> Knowing her worth and value as a result of the Destiny Women rehabilitation process, she quickly left the job and with her little savings started a small soap making business at home.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="background: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial"; font-size: 9.5pt; line-height: 107%;">Annet was born into a family of four.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>When Annet’s father died, she and her twin brother were moved from home to live with her grandmother.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It is her grandmother’s home that she remembers fondly when asked about her childhood. "We used to live in a big house and my grandmother used to take care of very many people," she remembers.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>When asked about life before rehabilitation, Annet closes her eyes briefly and sighs; "I used to live in a home started by a certain organization that took care of talented children." She continues, "I was taken there when I was about 10 years old because I was a good dancer. I stayed there and they paid my school fees.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>As children, we would entertain people and get some money which would be used to buy food for the home. I started off going there to have fun; when they saw that I was good and doing what they liked, they took me into the home and started paying fees for me." When asked about how her family perceived the new arrangement, she replied, "The organization took me as an orphan. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>My mother did not know about it, but my grandmother knew and was okay with the idea because they were paying my school fees and as an orphan I needed the fees."<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Annet goes on to explain that most of the people that ran the organization did not really care for the children. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>"They were not educated and so they didn’t value our education; in fact most of them were former drug addicts and had not properly been rehabilitated.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The home was basically for street children and orphans. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>As a child I was not aware that I could be in danger, but now I look back and know that it was not a safe place for us.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We at some point shared a bedroom with boys that were in the same home."<o:p></o:p></span><br />

<span style="background: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial"; font-size: 9.5pt; line-height: 107%;">When asked about her first exposure to sex trafficking, Annet explains, "Near my grandmother’s house there were garages and so many men worked in the area.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>There were also many prostitutes.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>My grandmother had talked to me a lot about the dangers of having sex with men to get money, so when I was in these situations I knew what the men wanted from me. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>She first told me when I started to sneak out of the house at night to go dancing with my friends."<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Annet sadly explains that most of the girls that were her childhood friends ended up with early, unplanned pregnancies.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>"I keep asking God why He chose me, why am I different? <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I think God knew me and had good plans for me.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It’s God who protects us," Annet says<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 12pt;">In March of 2015, Michelle Luhrmann, founder of Amilia’s
Light, traveled to Uganda and met some of the girls in the Destiny Women Uganda
program.</span><span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 12pt;"> </span><span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 12pt;">Miriam Enyaga, Destiny Women’s
founder and director, personally counseled girls who had been prostitutes and helped
with their rehabilitation. Michelle’s interaction with these girls revealed a
common thread in their stories. </span><br />

to do next. </span><span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 12pt;"> </span><span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 12pt;">Other questions arose like:</span><span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 12pt;"> </span><span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 12pt;">Where were the girls getting money for their
day-to-day needs?</span><span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 12pt;"> </span><span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 12pt;">Who was providing for
the girls who had children or were expecting children when the fathers weren’t
involved? The needs were heartbreaking and Michelle was determined to help. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 12pt;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 12pt;">Destiny Women already had dreams about rectifying the situation believing that
learning business skills was a key part of their transformation.</span><span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 12pt;"> </span><span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 12pt;">So with a shared dream of empowering formerly
trafficked girls with education and business skills, as well as restored self
worth and identity, Destiny Women and Amilia’s Light got to work writing
proposals, sharing ideas and seeking donations. </span><span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;">By the end of the year, Amilia’s Light raised $25,000
for the Empowerment Project and Destiny Women commissioned a Task Force Team (EPTF)
to identify a location and launch the project.
Three months later, a salon and boutique were opened in a prime business
center in the heart of Kampala city and a craft shop opened later in the same
year. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">The Empowerment Project Task Force team meets
weekly to monitor and evaluate the project while also playing key roles as mentors. Through regular meetings, and individual and
group counseling, the girls are reminded that they are valued and that each one
of them has the potential for greatness.
A bright light of hope is replacing the uncertainty of not having the
opportunity to work or get training, in
order to care for themselves and their families. Dignified work at 10,000 Lights WBC reminds
them daily to reach their highest potential in every aspect of life. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">Starting a business and training center for
girls that are recovering from unstable backgrounds has not been a smooth
ride. Some girls who were thought to be
ready for the Empowerment Program turned out to be ungrateful for the
opportunity and opted not to work with the 10,000 Lights WBC. Destiny Women has
kept these girls in the bigger fold and encourages them in group contexts
outside the Empowerment Project. Even
some of the participants have had difficulty envisioning the benefit of the
Empowerment Project and needed a lot of encouragement to invest their hard work
in order to reap harvest. Turning a profit
has taken much longer than anticipated. </span></div>

The robin in my yard makes her annual home in the trellis covering my screen porch, carefully mending the nest and creating a safe haven for this year’s brood. The trees begin to leaf, azalea and cherry blossoms begin to bud with bright pink and lavender, giving me a glimpse of the colors that will burst as the garden comes into full bloom. </span></div>

With renewed energy, we tackle all the projects we didn’t get to in the fall and work on them in between a busy spring calendar. There are spring sports, showers, weddings, reunions and graduations. </span></div>

At the very least, I would have expected the need to be insular, to be quiet, to journal, meditate, hoping to find some understanding. But God is good...walking alongside me during those dark days, always reminding me that there was a glimmer of light in the shadows. </span></div>

That light of hope shows up, just when needed. As we enter a season of growth.

<span style="font-family: "calibri";">This month, thanks to generous donors and volunteers, ten
young women, whose lives have been brightened, are getting ready to give birth
to a new enterprise. The Empowerment
Program preparations are in full swing; the girls have attended a business
training workshop, they are learning computer, bookkeeping, inventory and sales
skills. Boutique items are being purchased and inventoried, handmade items are
being crafted, the salon is being set up, and there have even been a handful of
haircuts given. </span></div>

Jackie and I recently had the opportunity to meet Jasmine Grace
Marino at an event in Dedham. She is an
amazing young woman, mother, mentor, and survivor of trafficking from here in
the Boston area. She spoke so openly
about the torments her trafficker inflicted - how he was able to completely
control her way of thinking, her self-image, and her life. He even went so far
as to give her a new name…..instead of Jasmine, she became Brittney - <b><i>she
even lost control of what people called her.<o:p></o:p></i></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b><i><br /></i></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
She painted a vivid picture of how hard it is for victims of
trafficking to get out of “the lifestyle” and start a new path. So many times they fall back into the pattern
of trafficking and prostitution due to lack of viable options and employment. She ended up being “in the life” for many
years until she couldn’t even recognize herself. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
She explained that when a victim of trafficking wants to get
out of “the life,” they need a safe person to be able to turn to as well as a
good job in order to support herself. She
was very open about the struggles she faced and continues to face. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I could not help but think of our friends in Uganda and
Destiny Women. (The organization that
Amilia’s Light is partnering with to help survivors of human trafficking.) Together we have begun the Empowerment
Program which gives these young girls an opportunity to work in a safe center
that will give them hope and dignity. This one stop center will host a variety of
businesses, starting with a hair salon and fashion boutique. The girls have received business training and
very soon will start their new jobs. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>But they need your
help to name their new one stop center</b>.
<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
They want a name that reflects the hope, empowerment, and
restoration that the girls now have. A
name that reflects the sparkle in their eyes from doing a job that will support
them in a way that they can be proud of.
Can you help us name the center? We will send our three top choices to the
girls and then they can pick their favorite!
<b>They have the power to choose a
new life, a new hope, and a new name for their workplace!<o:p></o:p></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b><br /></b></div>

<br />
Two weeks ago, we celebrated Amilia’s Light’s first anniversary at our Light the Night Celebration. Blessings abounded. There was hard work and camaraderie and meaningful moments shared in the preparation and in the celebration. Simple moments, like sitting down in the front yard with two of the A5 volunteers, girls that would have graduated with Amila, but that I’d only met this year. We shared the simple joy of sitting in solitude for a few minutes and taking it all in. The lights, the meaning of the work, the message of spreading the light, and how the money being raised is changing the course of life for young women in Uganda, by creating opportunities for empowerment.<br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiawYf6YY3unoLWdx0NabI21ffkfGTPqzaubG_yWOtI5EKmnGqF56My6w9E3_PbmMd0sWCXf8u_UB7osnq9YnjYfjOIBmPrQaj5xqBTT0QV70BLO4H_qPFfdnUU7E7p03nFBzHoZVWEB8U/s1600/blogger-image--1235512281.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiawYf6YY3unoLWdx0NabI21ffkfGTPqzaubG_yWOtI5EKmnGqF56My6w9E3_PbmMd0sWCXf8u_UB7osnq9YnjYfjOIBmPrQaj5xqBTT0QV70BLO4H_qPFfdnUU7E7p03nFBzHoZVWEB8U/s320/blogger-image--1235512281.jpg" width="265" /></a><br />
The lights had a similar affect on the party guests, when Amila’s garden was lit up and the very loved, hand made wooden angel appeared from the dark. Coincidentally, Light the Night was planned the same night Compassionate Friends organizes a world- wide candle lighting for children who have passed away. As guests walked up into Amilia’s garden and placed tea lights, I was reminded of how blessed I was to celebrate the evening, with new and old friends, many who never knew Amilia but share the dream to change lives, one girl at a time.<br />
<br />
This week there have been so many moments to feel blessed; I’m blessed to be on vacation with my children in the Teton’s. I’ve gotten to ski, snowshoe, sled and snowmobile. I even get some considerable air -without injury to myself or others! I’ve seen elk and moose and taken pictures of Bison that were standing just 20 feet from the car.<br />
<br />

<br />
I sat in on a graduate class at the Teton Science School and was impressed with the caliber of the instructors, the students and the course work. I felt great hope for our future as I could envision how these students would step up, step out and illuminate our world, by teaching others to care for and steward this precious gift we live in. <br />
<br />
Most of all, I feel blessed that I can set my light out on a dark night for those that need a step up, so they can step out and continue to illuminate our world. <br />
<br />
My wish for you this Christmas, is that you may feel as blessed as I do, and that you too, can find a way to light a candle in your world.<br />

A couple of weeks ago, our team was working on a new
project, another first for us, and we were trying to figure out the best way to
go about it.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We gathered information --
piles of documents covering every surface, 3 computers, white board, and lots
of coffee.<o:p></o:p><br />

I logged into the crowd fund campaign that Jodi created just
6 weeks ago and looked at the number -- <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="color: #458017;">$15,025</span></b>.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>I could barely contain myself. I realized <i>it was a milestone,</i> we raised
more than half and it hit me -- WE CAN DO THIS!</div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
It was a turning point.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>A shift in the energy, you might say.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>All of a sudden it became real: the Empowerment Program, the girls,
Sandra and Christine and Teddy and Barbara all working hard in their new
businesses.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I could see how their lives
would change, how they would gain confidence in their talents, and with each
passing day, learn more about themselves - their strengths, their weaknesses, their
courage, their grit and their power to provide for themselves and their
families. <o:p></o:p><br />

<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">Thinking</span> about Teddy, and
her newborn child, Michelle, it hit me again, <i>another milestone</i>.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>While I’ve been so focused on the plights of
these girls, wanting to see them safe and secure, I had not realized how the
impact of a dozen people in Uganda and Denmark and the United States and the
supporters like you who believe in them were truly changing not only the lives
of these young women, but changing the course of history for their children. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>

in a home where her mom, fully restored and with resources to start a business will
be able to love and provide for her. <o:p></o:p></div>

During the month of November everywhere we look, there are
reminders for us to give thanks.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>At
Amilia’s Light, we are doing the same thing, reminding everyone, to consider
the blessings in their lives and to ‘step up, step out and do something' to make a difference
in another’s life.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p><br />

It’s the day before Thanksgiving and it’s a perfect New
England fall day; sunny, clear skies with a slight chill in the air - just cold
enough to start a morning fire and warm the house.<br />
<br />
I’m blessed to have the
time and resources to sit and reflect on my own life and what I have to be
grateful for… God, my children, my friends, my dog, my work, my health, my home, my
garden…<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><br />
<br />
And while things are not perfect
(is it supposed to be?) my life is full. Maybe not as full as I dreamed it would be, I’m learning
though, for it to be enough.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
My family is changed, not by choice, but by circumstance.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The word ‘family” has expanded
to include dear friends and those who have touched my life.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> One such young lady</span> who has had the
courage to step up, step out and do something positive with her life, is
Teddy.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>She is one of the original five
young women our family sponsored to attend Destiny Women’s rehabilitation
program. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
When I visited Uganda last March, I had hoped to see all
five of the girls we sponsored.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>By the
end of week two, I was able to see three of the girls.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>One, had moved out of the country, and we had
been praying for her safety.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>But Teddy
was just a no-show.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Her school was not
in session, and we just could not locate her.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>I was sad and worried about the burdens of what she was facing at home.

The last night we hosted a gathering for the Destiny
Girls. I resolved to enjoy the night of
celebration.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>As I was handing out
bibles, Vicki, who had been searching everywhere, all week, came in with Teddy right behind.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I could not believe my
eyes! <o:p></o:p>What joy!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We sat together, talked and made plans.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We talked about
the possibility for her to switch to a vocational program and getting her resettled into a safer family hostel.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Later that night, she was tearful, upset and afraid.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>And we were afraid for her. I begged her to stay the weekend with Miriam,<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> b</span>ut she insisted on
going home.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Home to what – I wasn’t
sure. To be honest I'm not sure I wanted to know.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I was praying that she had not been forced
back to her old life. I gave her some money for the ride, and told her we would
be there for her, but that the choice was hers and hers alone.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I couldn’t make her choose what I thought was
the “right choice”.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I left the car,
headed up to my nice, clean air-conditioned hotel room, took a long hot shower
and just sobbed.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I found out more details later.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Teddy’s mom, living and working in a
dangerous situation elsewhere, left Teddy in charge of her two younger
siblings, with little resources to care for them.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Months later, more details - Teddy was 7 months
pregnant. Immediately, I thought<b> FAILURE</b>.<br />
How would I tell our followers about this? W<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">hat would they think???</b><br />
That’s <i>NOT </i>the model we are working
toward.<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><i>And then… I was humbled</i></b></div>
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
As Miriam noted that
Teddy was stepping up and taking responsibility for this beautiful child of
God.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><br />
<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><i>And then…I found a bit of grace</i></b></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Despite little prenatal care, Teddy’s baby
girl was born this summer, and we are happy to report that both mom and child
are healthy and safe.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Teddy gave me the
courage to step up and out of my comfort zone,<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>to share the story in church, not knowing what kind of reaction I would
get.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><i>And then...I was grateful</i></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
When I asked for prayers, <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I was astounded, at how many people expressed
gratitude that I shared this story of courage of Teddy and her new daughter.</div>

I was at a church mission trip planning meeting thinking not only
about spending time with my two World Vision sponsored children, Stella and
Namie, but <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">how in the world was I going
to evaluate the NGO, Destiny Women</i>? <o:p></o:p></div>

I had been trying to find the right person to evaluate
Destiny Women’s proposal for some time.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>I was going on UCC Medfield’s vision trip to Uganda with World Vision

<div class="MsoNormal">
Our minister offered a trip to Africa, both to visit the
church’s recipients of the<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>missions
team’s work and to do a brief safari.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>At
a pre-trip orientation meeting, one of my co-travelers asked whether I could
spend a couple of extra days to visit a small charity she was interested
in.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I am semi-retired, and therefore had
the time.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>That April we flew 18 hours to
Uganda.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The first five days were spent
with World Vision, then two days seeing a wonderful array of animals in their
habitat. Following that, we spent two days with Miriam and Fulukas Boroa,
visiting the young ladies of Destiny Women. <o:p></o:p></div>

The reasons I have become interested in Amilia’s Light are:<br>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
*I was humbled by the consequences of the Destiny Women girls,
and am hoping to make a difference through Amilia’s Light.”</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
*I was hugely impressed by the can-do attitudes of both Miriam and Fulukas and by their accomplishments given the limited resources available to them. Their dedication is awesome!</div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="border: none; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="border: none; font-size: 12pt;">It was a
perfect September Day, the sun was shining and there was a light breeze. It was our very first booth at Medfield Day
and I was so excited to be a part of this.
Medfield is a classic New England small town, with a typical town
fair. This fun event draws thousands, “It’s
like hosting a huge block party,” according to MEMO organizer Russ
Hallisey. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="border: none; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="border: none; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="border: none; font-size: 12pt;">While it’s a
small town, it has a big impact - to the greater Boston area and beyond. So
many in this town step up and step out to make a difference; raise money, chair
a board, read to students, help protect our environment, provide furniture and
food for the homeless, run our local government, preserve our history… all
illuminating our world in their own way. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="border: none; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="border: none; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: "Arial Unicode MS"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Arial Unicode MS";">Most of
the booths relate to our community. We
were a little different. Our focus is to
the wider world and draws from the indescribable bonds forged in a small town when tragedy strikes and community members step up. So many reached out when my
family most needed a village. Meals, rides, yard work, and prayers helped us
survive and heal from a horrific event.
Despite tragedy, our family was blessed and God’s grace flowed
abundantly.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

really excited! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="border: none; font-size: 12pt;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="border: none; font-size: 12pt;">We were finally out in
the community, talking about Amilia’s Light for the first time, explaining how
we are paying it forward. We showcased
how we're <span style="background-color: #6fa8dc; color: yellow;"><i><b>lluminating our world</b></i>,</span> raising funds for the Empowerment Program and launching <b>A5: Amilia’s Angels, Ambassadors
for Anti-Trafficking Awareness.</b></span></div>

<span style="border: none; font-size: 12pt;">The day could
not have been more perfect. Our amazing team, Jackie Collins, Barbara Seeglitz,
and Jodi Holman, designed and set up beautiful booth, with our signature
colors. There was so much excitement and
buzz in the air and we met so many new and old friends. The Ugandan jewelry made by the girls we
support was a real draw. We signed up new followers and volunteers and several
groups expressed interest in working with us especially with A5.</span><span style="border: none; font-size: 12pt;"> </span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="border: none; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="border: none; font-size: 12pt;">Delia Davis,
one of Amilia’s friends from nursery school, was one of the first volunteers
to sign up for the program. “I’ve been wanting
to do something like this for so long, I’ve been thinking about it for almost
two years.” Delia came and spent the
afternoon with us, and I had a chance to get reacquainted with her. I’ve seen Delia, just a handful of times,
since she was a little girl, playing dolls in my home. It was such a delight to have her brainstorm
ideas with me for A5. I’m almost giddy
with the possibilities of how this can grow.
<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="border: none; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="border: none; font-size: 12pt;">There were
emotional moments as well. I turned to speak to a woman looking at our jewelry, only to realize, it was Amilia’s
pre-school teacher, Sharon. Our eyes
met, recognition hit, and tears flowed. I have wanted to reconnect to her, but
somehow never made the effort to walk back into the nursery school. </span><br />
<span style="border: none; font-size: 12pt;">And then, there she was… </span><br />
<span style="border: none; font-size: 12pt;"> </span><span style="font-size: 12pt;"> </span><br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><span style="color: yellow; font-size: x-large;"><b style="background-color: #9fc5e8;">It was a full circle moment</b></span></i></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="border: none; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="border: none; font-size: 12pt;">A new
supporter stopped by to talk with our Treasurer, Charlie Peck. I had not met Pete Peterson before, I had only
heard him speak at town meetings and read about him in the paper. A man dedicated to the business of our
town. After he learned about Amilia's Light and later
spoke with me, there were tears in his eyes, and he thanked me for our good
work.. That was a real jolt- I never
anticipated being thanked, except perhaps from our girls in Uganda. It was humbling, because I just feel privileged to be illuminating our world. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

vacation has come to a close and the new school year has begun. In my house,
back to school entailed the obligatory 1st day of school picture. My
children happily obliged me, even through high school, wearing their new back
to school outfits, sitting on the old carriage bench outside our door,
backpacks filled with new notebooks and freshly sharpened pencils, filled with
anticipation of what the new school year would bring. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt;">This year, I'm especially
plugged in to the back to school activities around my town. This
September would have been Amilia's last - "first day of
school". She would have entered her senior year of high school.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt;">We only had an opportunity to take
two ‘first day of school'</span><span style="font-size: 12pt;"> </span><span style="font-size: 12pt;">pics of her She
joined the ranks of angels, at the end of May of 2003, two weeks before her
preschool graduation. </span><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-size: 12pt;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt;"> </span><span style="font-size: 12pt;">I don’t spend much time, thinking of what life
with Amilia would have looked like. Instead, I try to emulate her light. It’s
why Amilia’s Light got started. We want
to <i>Illuminate our World </i>by encouraging people to step up, step
out and light up someone’s life. That may translate to sitting down
next to a stranger or the less popular kid in the cafeteria and offering a
smile or a kind word. It may mean buying a meal for a homeless
person, like my friend did just recently. It could involve much,
much more. It could mean training for a marathon to raise money for
a great cause or mentoring an at risk youth.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt;">At Amilia’s Light, it translates to raising awareness about the epidemic of human trafficking and to facilitate
organizations working to rescue and rehabilitate youth whose lives have been
darkened by it. We continue to </span>fund-raise<span style="font-size: 12pt;"> for the Empowerment
Program, our joint project with Destiny Women in Uganda, which will bridge
their rehabilitation program, with a business, mentoring, training and loan
program that teaches savings and self-sustainability.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-size: 12pt;">The timing is right- and
we’re doing our own stepping up and stepping out! This fall we are developing
a </span><span style="font-size: 12pt;">pilot program geared for high school students
in and around Medfield to help our cause. It’s dubbed, <b><i><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">A5, Amilia’s Angels - Ambassadors for Anti-trafficking Awareness</span></i>,</b> and I can’t
think of a better way for Amilia’s friends and fellow students to help us
continue to radiate her “10,000 watts of light”! We have some great ideas for this group, such as running an education - prevention program for local areas, producing a video about awareness, collecting used cell phones for reuse for at-risk youth, and perhaps even a mentorship program. </span><span style="font-size: 16px;">We h</span><span style="font-size: 12pt;">ope you'll put your thinking caps on, and let us know your ideas via </span><span style="font-size: small;">Facebook, Twitter, Instagram or email. Stop by our booth on Medfield Day to be part of the upcoming A5 video and </span>join the group. <span style="font-size: small;"> We plan to get started in October. </span><br />

Energy!
Excitement! Nerves! All of those things were buzzing through me
on Saturday before our Spartan Mud run!
8 miles of mud and obstacles! I
felt confident we could finish, but was hoping we could do it without serious
injury. My team members were
amazing! Sarah is the most positive person
I have ever met! She actually giggled
at the excitement of playing in the mud!
Sharon was much more nervous –this was her first mud run. Not to mention she is petite – and height is an
advantage for most of the obstacles! But
she was brave, like the girls of Destiny Women, who face huge challenges in
their lives. Girl power for girl
empowerment! Right? She didn’t look so sure!<o:p></o:p></div>

The run, we had that part down. A nice jog in the woods and around fields
(the Iowa girl in me loved seeing the corn fields and cows!) The obstacles were the real challenge! But that’s where we had each other! Ten foot wall? Team up, and give a friend a boost or ask for
help from a strong guy behind you! Rope
climb? Sand bag carry? Monkey bars?<br />

The young ladies of Destiny Women are
fighters. They are brave and courageous! They are working hard to get an education, learn
new skills or a new trade. They are
saying yes to a new life away from human trafficking and a new identity with dignity.
Despite the obstacles that life has put in
front of them.</div>

<div class="MsoNormal">

The girls also have a
great team! They have Miriam and

<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The Empowerment Program will help the girls build job
skills, help them develop a business plan, provide low interest loans to start
their own businesses, and provide on-going mentoring. The loan program is designed
not only to have repaid funds available for future graduates, but also to teach
the girls how to save - thereby creating an opportunity for them to invest in
future graduates themselves. One of the goals at Amilia's Light is to support
in ways that are self-sustaining, and we believe this program has great
potential.<o:p></o:p></div>

loves to sew and work with fabric. <span class="apple-converted-space"> </span>She
is working toward a<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span>Diploma in
Interior and Fashion Design. She is changing her circumstances - borrowing
sewing machines and creating beautiful handmade totes and purses, which
Amilia's Light will be selling to help her earn money for daily living. </span><o:p></o:p></div>

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Sandra dreams big.
She hopes to one day have own her studio, and if given a leg up - she just
might. <span class="apple-converted-space"> </span>Sandra is smart,
sweet and fun to be with. She is also dedicated and hard-working.
It’s not easy, and during our short time together she diligently redesigned
samples - until she got them right. Her philosophy is to create products
of stellar quality and to create a customer following, so that one day, she
will have that studio. </span><o:p></o:p></div>

We hope to help Sandra continue to make those changes by raising funds for
Destiny Women's Empowerment Project. This program will give Sandra the
opportunity to participate in a group savings and loan program, get business
training, work with a mentor, and work together with other girls, and continue
to create changes that will illuminate her world with a path to make those dreams
to come true. </span><o:p></o:p></div>
