Tell Me…
What would you do?
Would you be grateful for the opportunity to work in the rain, to haul stones up the hill, or to carry water for lunch? The community of Santa Eulalia was – they were grateful for the opportunity to build a school for their community, grateful that their kids would have an education and the hope of a better life.
Solar Light Distribution
Miracles In Action visited the artisans who create our beaded jewelry and key charms. We went to their homes where they live and work because we wanted to determine how we can give back to them for their talents, time and treasures. The answer we found – a solar lamp. Often the artisans could not see their work, and would make a mistake and have to tear it apart and start over. If there was a light in the house, it was one bulb high up in the ceiling. The solar lamps can be moved where needed, and rest on a stand pointed at the beads they will now be able to clearly see. I just love her smile. If you would like to sponsor a solar lamp for an artisan,visit www.miraclesinaction.org and donate $45 and make an artisan smile.

Water Filter Distribution
Michael Ewens with The Ripple Effect Inc transported water filters to a remote village. Miracles In Action vows to help under-served pockets of need where the poorest of the poor ink out a life of extreme poverty. Michael makes this possible, and travels to these remote places and helps the people of greatest need. Thank you to Moorings Presbyterian Church, Naples, FL and The Herrod Foundation of Switzerland for funding the 200 water filters donated to this project.
Meet the Artisans
Hi Friends of Miracles! My name is Victoria, I am Miracle’s administrative assistant. I sell handicrafts at farmer’s markets and Penny’s presentations at women’s groups in Naples. It is one thing to tell customers how their purchases are helping women to feed their families, but it is very moving to hear this from the artisans themselves. We are truly making a sustainable difference, and by building women’s self esteem and respect in the family, we are breaking the cycle of poverty and reliance. Buying beaded handicrafts from Miracles in Action – it’s a hand up, not a hand out.
