If Santa can only give me one thing this year, then Santa... I want Fils Twizeyimana, who lives in Rwanda, to be blessed with food and education for a WHOLE year.
There is an incredible opportunity through Hello Somebody, a organization that exists to feed and educate children, that I want to share with you all.
I have partnered with Hello Somebody and their movement to get 100 Rwanda boys off the street, fed and educated by simply buying a watch. Yes, a watch. If 70 people bought one watch for themselves (or for a Christmas present for someone else, hint hint!) You will be apart of giving Fils food and education for a WHOLE year. That's all it takes! 70 watches.
Now who is Fils, you say?
He's awesome and has an amazing story....
My name is Fils Twizeyimana, and I am 19 years old. I’ve been coming to Africa New Life Ministries since 2004. I learned about it from a former staff member who invited me to the Dream Center. I am thankful that I learned the word of God there. Once I knew God’s word, I was able to depend on Him and ask Him to help me go off drugs on the street. I sniffed glue for 9 years, and I have been clean for 2 years now. My dream is to finish school and be a counselor. I want to help rehabilitate children from drugs and street life. I desire to be a strong man and to have a family I can support. I want to be a leader and an example of breaking the chain of poverty through education. My parents died in the 1994 genocide and I live in their house. The court gave me the house after they died. I would be very grateful if someone bought the watch knew my name. I had no hope and no one to talk with about my life. I took drugs to take my mind off my struggles. Now that I know Jesus, I have God to talk with, and I know God cares for me. God has shown me His love through people, especially at Africa New Life. My favorite color watch is dark blue.--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Are you ready to help impact a life and grant my Christmas wish come true? I got 30 days....70 watches. And I got HUGE faith I can do this...but not on my own.
Ready? Set. Go!
- Go >>>here <<< and check out the awesome array of colors the watches come in and start thinking of all the lucky people on your Christmas list that would love one ;) (hint, hint again...)
- When you check out with your watch(s), make sure to put Fils' name in the “Note to seller” (in which you click on and it opens the note field) Hello Somebody keeps count of how many watches are being sold for him!
One last note...
To make it clear, I am not getting anything from doing this other than the simple fact that I am choosing to pour into someone's life like many have chosen to pour into mine. I have been blessed and only wish to be a blessing in return. This year has taken a toll on me in more ways than I imagined. So, if anything good can come from this year...it is to know I was a tiny part of helping this young man have a better life and hope for a beautiful future. And you can very much be apart of this as well. (and this concludes my Miss America practice speech! ....kidding, kidding..)
#TeamFils <---- Trend it on Twitter!
More to come!...you might not only just be getting a watch. You might be getting healthier at the same time ;)
