How do you make something sparkle? One way, is to shine a light on it. Our hope is that by shining our individual “lights” on those in need, we will bring hope, compassion, and joy to them. THEY will sparkle because we were able to “shine” a bit… WE will be blessed by the opportunity to do so.
“Let your light shine before others so that they may see your good work and give glory to the Father….” Matthew 5:16
We are excited to be selling these awesome shirts to help sponsor girls in Ethiopia. If you haven't had a chance to visit Eyes That See and learn about the awesome programs they are running...check it out.

Our navy shirt is so cool! It was designed by an amazing guy/artist/architect who is currently in school at Virginia Tech. He is also the uncle of an adorable little guy from Ethiopia- he has a huge heart for Ethiopia and was kind enough to surprise us by donating his amazing design services to help The Sparkle Project! Thank you so much for all of your hard work Chase!
The navy design is a traditional ladies fit shirt (they fit true to size). These shirts are also very comfy - here are the technical details: 4.5 oz 100% ring-spun cotton 30/1's fine knit jersey, fashion fit for feminine silhouette, side seamed, feminine ribbed crew taped neck, double needle sleeves and bottom hem
The navy shirt above is a mock up of the color combination we have decided on. "Let your light shine" is displayed along the center of this adorable shirt (Take a look at the purple version to see the design clearly. It is a great design!! Thanks Chase!).
About two years ago, our family was blessed through adoption. Our little girl, Grace, came home from Ethiopia. She is an amazing girl. What we didn't know until then, was how amazing her birth country was. We fell in love with Ethiopia. Our hearts were also touched by the overwhelming needs in Ethiopia. Many women and girls in places like Ethiopia have a very challenging lives. We saw first hand how many children (girls especially) do not have the opportunity to go to school. Many do not even have enough food to eat.
We believe that girls hold the key to the future of Ethiopia and many third world countries. Helping one girl, helps many in the long run. Our desire is to help sponsor as many young girls in Ethiopia as we can. We have some exciting ways that you can partner with The Sparkle Project to do just that!
Please take a minute to watch the following video. This video does an EXCELLENT job of explaining what we believe...
