Host a House Party - It's Easy!
There is an award winning video narrated by Tim Robbins and Winona Ryder on the issue of sex slavery and focuses on 4 young women who were rescued. It is truly inspiring to watch. We can send this DVD to you to show at the viewing party. The girls make the most beautiful beaded work. You can sell this at the party.
How It Works:
- 1. Contact Chris Mackay at Crooked Trails-(below). You will be asked to give your credit card number as a deposit to receive a house party box. No amount will be charged on the card unless the box is not returned.
- 2. Pick a date for your party and invite your friends to attend. Invite more than can fit, as cancellations are a natural part of everyone’s busy lives.
- 3. Show the movie (or not). After the movie, have a discussion about women’s rights. Suggest people read the book “Half the Sky” about gender discrimination and what can be done. It’s sweeping the planet right now and is an incredible book.
- 4. Show the beautiful bead work made by the girls who have been rescued. This is a cottage industry they have started to support themselves. A pricing sheet will be included.
- 5. Ask your guests if they would like to donate. They can do so on-line or by check. Set up your computer so that people can donate online if they wish right after the movie at www.friendsofmaitinepal.org. Checks should be made out to Friends of Maiti Nepal. They will all receive tax deductible receipts for their donations. Place unsold bead work, DVD and donations in box and return them.
