 Women 4 Women

This is such a great organization.  EK has been involved for the past 15 years and has been blessed to be able to sponsor 2 women at a time and we have taken those blessings and pass them on.  You will love learning and conversing with these women in other countries.  Each "sister" is on the program for a year with you as they learn new skills.  Since 2005,  Kate Spade New York and Women for Women International have been working together to promote micro-enterprises for Women in the still-recovering communities throughout Bosnia & Herzegovina.  As more women become involved, more change will come.  Here is a statement from them: 

Our sponsorship program supports women survivors of war and conflicts as they progress through a one-year program that helps them rebuild their lives.

Your sponsorship funds are used to help women receive job-skills training, business and money management basics and rights awareness education.

A woman cannot be enrolled in the WfWI program until she has a sponsor; so a sponsor's influence on her life could not be more important.

 Please give it a try!  Women need each other, because WE can change the world, one Lady at a time.

The Pink Stone is a little online store that sells Jewelry, Designer Hand Bags & Jeans,  Flowers & Planters, Home Decor and MOre.  100% of all proceeds go directly to the children of Elite Kids.  Elite Kids has always tried very hard to keep our rates the lowest in every area we are in, while keeping our standards the highest.  The best way to do this is by having another financial resource filtering in donations.  The quality of the merchandise at The Pink Stone is far above what you are paying for and you could imagine.  The owner of Elite Kids has gone to her favorite places and has tracked down the distributors & wholesalers to obtain better pricing of the items sold at The Pink Stone. 

This year- we were able to remolded our baby room - put in a 4' X 5' window, put in new air purifiers, new sheets, toys, dressers, painting, rugs, mats, decor, cubbies, supply our babbies with diapers and wipees.  We were also able to put in 2 new play grounds, new play toys, blue rubber, ridders, baskets, balls and all.  We have even re-painted our famous Village room - and gave each house its our make over along with new cubbies and storage for our children.  In the new storage units, we have put in new games, blocks, cars and more.  The Pink Stone Has enabled us to keep our tuition down and to purchase new toys, books, cubbies, tables and a lot more for our kids.  So a big thank you to all of those who have visited, The Pink Stone.

 Give us a try.  We are doing a good thing!
