Methods of giving
One of our supporters
suggested that an easy way to raise more funds for YOUTHWORX-East Africa
is through their on-line shopping habits and internet searches. We've
taken up their suggestion so now you can Search the Web and raise funds
for YEA, and also shop online and raise money for YEA.

SHOP
ONLINE AND RAISE MONEY FOR Youthworx - East Africa!
So how does it work? You shop directly with
the retailer as you would normally, but if you sign up to
http://www.easyfundraising.org.uk/youthworxea
for free and use the links on the easyfundraising site to take you to
the retailer, then a percentage of whatever you spend comes directly to
us at no extra cost to yourself. Easyfundraising have over 2,000
retailers on their site, and some of the donations can be as much as 15%
of your purchase.

Search the Web and
Raise Funds
http://youthworxea.easysearch.org.uk
combines the results of several search engines such as Yahoo!, Bing and
Ask to ensure you can always find what you’re looking for. But the
fantastic thing is that EVERY TIME you search, half a penny is raised
for Youthworx - East Africa.
So the next time you need to find something online, please use
http://youthworxea.easysearch.org.uk
and raise money for Youthworx -
East Africa with every search you
make. |
Thanks for your help.
June 2011:
Belgium YEA supporter, Susan Ball,
has been very busy using her creative talents to fundraise for
YEA. She has made 100 brick 'sculptures' and so far has sold
half of them. Susan also uses this opportunity to tell
people about the work of YEA.
She says
"H-Art-voor-Anderen" Meaning "He-Art-for-Others" is an
art project using art works as a means to share the gospel and
to sell them to raise money for charity.
The art concept for YEA has the moto "Buy a brick... Help
rebuild lives"
Each sculpture having a label with the logo of YEA and the
website for those who would like to know more to go online for
more info.

It has been really wonderful
to see so many people interested and respond to this project, and for
the opportunity to share about the work of YEA here in Belguim.
In just one week more than 65% of the 100 sculptures were sold in the
old wind mill in Stene dorp a village in Oostende. But it isn't
finished yet.. on the last day of the art expo just as
I was about to pack up the ones not sold, new
doors opened and the opportunity arose to place the rest of the
artbricks in a new location next week, what a blessing!
So it continues .. helping rebuild lives for
the Youth in East Africa one brick at a time.
These past weeks of preparing and creating these sculpture for YEA was
through the Lords words that were impressed in my spirit from psalm
127. this morning as I was awakening the
Lord reminded me again of these words.
Ps 27 ; 1 Unless the lord builds the house, its builders labour in
vain.
All other things in our life (artwork, sculpture...) are in vain if it
isn't the Lord building it, the fulfilment and
joy and satisfaction of knowing that we labour not in vain is priceless.
How wonderful to know it is the Lord who is
building the house, building His church, rebuilding lives, through
YEA.
Blessings Sue.' |
