I can’t tell you how excited I am about an upcoming FREE event in Houston. For those of you who live in the area,  I’d love for you to join me at a holiday party celebrating Arise Africa on Tuesday, November 29 at Karbach Brewing Company.

Remember when I went to Zambia this past summer? I wrote about my first night, how serving can sometimes leave you without words, when stories cut you to the core and what it means to walk a mile in someone else’s shoes.

Also, this happened:

Sadly, the organizers aren’t bringing a python from Africa to use as a cool accessory for a photo booth. I asked.

The goal of this event is to raise awareness for Arise Africa in Houston. Please know that you don’t have to donate or buy anything to come. The event is free and super casual. It’s come and go (6 to 9) and we’ll have food and drinks for everyone to enjoy. And bring the kids! We’ll all quote Sweet Home Alabama to each other: “You have a baby. In a bar brewery.”

Please email me if you plan on stopping by. I’d love to meet you and put a face with a name! I’ll also send you an official invitation so you can properly RSVP. Feel free to invite your friends and family, too. The more the merrier!

If you’d like to know more about Arise Africa, please ask me or visit their website directly at www.ariseafrica.org.

I hope to see you there!
