Last month we went on a walk with some of our designers…

Grandma Helen and Julliette

Beautiful Nancy

They took us to their huts, cooked for us, shared stories, and continually expressed their thanks for all that 31 Bits has provided. We laughed as they pointed to their pigs, sheep, beds, etc. and said “This is 31 Bits!” So… without further ado… here is what, thanks to your purchases, our ladies have been able to purchase!

Susan’s “31 Bits” pigs

Food for their families

“31 Bits” goats

Grandma Helen’s “31 Bits” hut

School fees for the kiddos

… And so much more! It’s amazing to see how our ladies lives have changed- in just a year! They are empowered… they see hope, promise, and a future for their families!!

THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU for supporting 31 Bits!

Thank you, Russell Brownley. (www.thewussproductions.com) we have been so blessed by you:

We just had a great event at Peets Coffee on 17th Street in Costa Mesa! Thank you so much to Peets for hosting us, and letting us give free coffee certificates to people that bought Bits! Coffee and 31 Bits? Total success!

Our sandals are hitting stores soon… we’re SO excited. They turned out beautiful, and we couldn’t be more thankful to REEF for all that they have done for us. We are having so much fun working with them… their enthusiasm and support for 31 Bits has been unreal! Check out our featured spot on their site:

STOKED!!

It has been a year and a half since all 5 of the 31 Bits girls have been in the same continent… you can imagine our anticipation and excitement to be reunited again. The five of us spent a couple days in a cabin in Idyllwild (thank you, White family!), caught up on life, 31 Bits, and all the ins and outs of what is to come!  It was the perfect setting for a retreat, we HIGHLY recommend The Idyllwild Inn (www.idyllwildinn.com)

It was SO good to all be back together again… now Brooke and Kallie are on a plane headed back to our ladies! It was sad to see them go… but we’re stoked for all that they will be doing on that end of things.

Keep up with the 31 Bits happenings on our TWITTER!              www.twitter.com/31bits

Just last week Katie Geerdes married Aaron Linderman…. and with the help of the ladies back in Gulu, their wedding was given a fresh and unique spin: the bride and bridesmaids wore 31 Bits! We couldn’t have been more honored… and we think they looked AWESOME. What do you think?

…Maybe we’ll start a line of “Bridal Bits”? Thank you Katie and Aaron for support of 31 Bits! We can’t wait for the ladies to see these shots!
