Hello dear I Care members!
As you might know, we participated in the annual Haga Park picnic this past Saturday. This was a great way to hang out and spend time with our former members, as well as meet new people and share our project with them! We had a great time!
Also, we launched our new textile bags with the new logo and print (read the background story below*) which to our delight was much appreciated.
We would therefore love to keep this going and sell more bags for our members to use and show their participation in this great cause! :) As always, all raised funds will go to the orphanage Dar al fityan. The price will be 130 kr (including shipping), and the bag will be on it's way as soon as we have received a message (through facebook or gmail) from you containing a printscreen of your payment to our account (see account details under Info in our Facebook profile). Make sure you mark your payment 'textile bag'!
We still need to figure out how we can send the bags to our members outside of Sweden as well, along with the demand for it, so if you live outside of Sweden and are interested in a bag, please send us a message and notify us!
We hope that you want to represent this project by buying a bag, while making an important contribution at the same time!
*Here's some background info about the new bag print;
As we earlier shared with you about how we chose our new logo to capture the essence of the I Care project, we similarly wanted to have a personalized print for our textile bag that would truly represent the boys of Dar al fityan. Therefore, the print was taken from a previous hand print painting that the boys had made during a workshop in one of our earlier visits. This painting, a long with other canvas paintings, was later auctioned out at our event in june 2011 in order to raise money for the orphanage. For us, the playfulness of this print represents the significance of letting children be just that: children.
We hope that you are as excited about the new logo and print as we are! Please give us your feedback and let us know if you are interested in purchasing a textile bag!
With love, The I Care board
