| Hello jay, Thank you for being a part of ARC. We couldn’t do this without you! We have several exciting things happening in and around ARC right now that I’d like to share with you, including a first of its kind event in Uganda. The event took place in Kampala, where we honored refugee youth from Nakivale Refugee Settlement who had brilliant ideas for how to make our world a better place. I was honored to meet those youth and the hundreds of other Ugandans and influencers who gathered there. Read more below. And as always, thank you so much for your continuing support. -Daniel Daniel Wordsworth, President *********************************************** + Intervention in Gulu, Uganda for South Sudanese Refugees + The past several months have been difficult for the people of South Sudan. Besieged by surges of violence and political instability, thousands of South Sudanese have fled their country, many of them seeking refuge in neighboring countries. In response to this crisis, we’re sending teams to Gulu in northern Uganda to better understand the situation and see what we can do to help. Stay tuned for more updates on this intervention. + Gala in Kampala, Uganda, to Honor Refugee Youth + On Friday October 21st, we did something we’ve never done before – we hosted a large-scale gala in one of our country programs! And, it was a huge success. In Kampala, we joined Ugandan Leaders and ARC staff from around the globe to honor 13 refugee youth from Nakivale Refugee Settlement who are showing us what it is like to dream big and believe you can be a Changemaker. These 13 refugees were the winners of a youth ideas competition we held in Nakivale. Many special guests celebrated with us that night, including refugee Olympians, the Ugandan business community, the Office of the Prime Minister, and more. It was truly an incredible night – I felt privileged to be there.
+ What I'm buying: The Maker's Collection + I can't tell you how excited we are for this year's Maker's Collection. Are you familiar with it? It all began a few years ago when our staff sat down with some of the most sought after U.S.-based artisans to design a custom, limited collection of gifts. The gifts really are stunning, and what's more, each purchase goes directly toward supporting ARC' programs around the world. You can view the entire collection and pre-order here: www.shopmakers.org. I'll be shopping the Collection for the holidays – I’ve personally got my eye on this Woven Thai Necktie by Mill City Fineries.
The Collection will officially launch at ARC's annual Changemakers Ball on December 2nd! Get tickets here: http://www.changemakersball.org/ + Engage +
