Check it out! We made the front page of the Athens Daily Review! We hope to see you at our trunk show next weekend! Read the article for more details and add yourself and your friends to the Facebook event invite.
Here is the article:
We Are In Bloom LLC is a young, not-for-profit organization whose mission is focused in Northern Thailand. Athenian, Andrea Davis Hefley, daughter of Dave and Annette Davis of Athens, founded the organization earlier this year along with Nueng Ritter of Chiang Mai, Thailand. Andrea, previously a missionary in both Bangkok and Chiang Mai, met Nueng during her time in Thailand. Over the last few years, they planned and prepared for the debut of We Are In Bloom.
We Are In Bloom concentrates on Thai women who are not highly valued and those who have the desire to help support their families. Nueng teaches the women the skill of sewing while building relationships and sharing about Jesus. Andrea markets and sells the handmade products here in the U.S. and serves as the business lead and liaison.
The mission and goals for We Are In Bloom revolve around touching the lives of Thai women, empowering them through meaningful jobs with honest pay, and support through Christian relationships. The organization also uses this as an avenue to help support Nueng who is their full-time missionary and teacher.
We Are In Bloom will have a trunk show in Athens on November 7th from 10 am to 2 pm at The Ark, 603 S. Prairieville. The event is come-and-go. Drop by to enjoy some refreshments and fellowship, and get your Christmas shopping done early. Items available at the show include tote bags, purses, cosmetic bags, essential oil bags, yoga mat bags, t-shirts, and much more. Andrea will also bring many beautifully embroidered and hand stitched items from the new Hill Tribe Collection. Every gift you purchase from We Are In Bloom is a one-of-a-kind treasure for the recipient and also gives back much more to the artisans in Thailand. All profits from items sold go directly back to the artisans and help support Nueng, the full-time missionary and teacher.
