Arise Event( Hope &Hand up Congo Ball)




We're Excited to announce that Lihiya will have a fashion show at the American Club in Taipei. This fashion show is part of an effort to help empower women in Africa through the Hand up Congo foundation. We're so happy that all the profits from the tickets and 15% of Lihiya profits will give a helping hand to our mothers and sisters in Congo. Please make sure that you come and enjoy a sizzling night of African love on MAY 14 2010 at 7:00pm.. Tickets are 1500NTD. You'll also have a wonderful opportunity to purchase fabrics, garments, jewelery, candles made in the Kingdom of Swaziland and the Republic of Congo.

Preparing for this event has been absolutly inspiring and a joyful experience. I find that the timing of this event is so perfect especially because the week after is AFRICA WEEK AND AFRICA NIGHT here in Taipei. Planing for these events and being a part of them helps me feel closer to my home and most of all encourages me to fall deeper in Love with Taiwan as a country that brings together people from all sorts of backgrounds and yet embrace the beauty of Africa and her people. Hope to see you all at these events , and please check out the links below for more information.

You're loved.

Lihiya 首創精神

Lihiya 的首創精神是提倡幫助史瓦濟蘭婦女和其他那些藉由購買他們手工珠寶、藝術、手工藝、服飾、家居飾品、家具、化妝品和其他配件獲得收入的非洲國家。
我們的目標不只是啟發史瓦濟蘭非洲藝術的覺醒,而且也提供這些婦女一個平台來進軍全球市場。我們也尋找且鼓勵透過支持這項事業和購買這些付出勞力養家的婦女做的手工商品來降低非洲國家貧困的個別基層投資機會。
LIHIYA在史瓦濟蘭語有庇護的意思,我們盼望能成為那些致力於擺脫貧困的婦女的庇護和繼續提供平台為那些無法發言的婦女發言。誠摯邀請大家透過拜訪我們的部落格和我們一起努力,部落格裡有有關時裝秀、展示和展覽的細節。 也歡迎你們隨時去看看照片且了解我們的行程。我們也非常歡迎你們隨時來留言。
