EBID - TREE OF LIFE CHARITY SHOP IN AID OF CHALLENGE AFRICA
http://uk.ebid.net/stores/TREE-OF-LIFE-FOR-CHALLENGE-AFRICA

In 2007 I was lucky enough to visit Kenya, an amazing beautiful country  but  I could not ignore the poverty and hardship I witnessed when I was there.   I have now opened a charity shop on Ebid called THE TREE OF LIFE which supports "Challenge Africa."  ALL  profits from the sales in this shop are donated to this cause.  Please make a donation here or visit my shop If you only buy a card you will help make a difference. http://uk.ebid.net/stores/TREE-OF-LIFE-FOR-CHALLENGE-AFRICA

The African Tree of Life
Le grand baobab

At the heart of the African plain
Stands a tree both old and sage:
A survivor of sunshine and rain
Silent witness to many an age

But this is no ordinary tree
For her trunk is hollow inside
And faithfully she keeps unseen
The secret of her native tribe

For her cave’s a place of birth
A haven safe from danger
This womb of Mother Earth
Is Africa’s child manger

The Baobab stands proud and strong
She serves her people as midwife
It’s been thus generations long
She’s Africa’s great Tree of Life

Thank you very much indeed for your support. Marion (The Fragrant Tree)

My Father who worked for a while in Kenya and helped supply a very remote village with water and and more.
