Happy Valentine’s Day! 🩷🩷🩷 We wanted to send out some affection to everyone who supports us through volunteering and donating to the program throughout the year! You are so important us and we appreciate you more than you know! Thank you for everything you do!

A big thank you to everyone who came out to our last We Made This booth. We will be in front of Ruby’s Market at the Pearl Street Farmers Market this weekend and every last Sunday of the month until November — come shop handmade and support refugee artisans!

We will be at Women Powering Change in Denver, Colorado today! This event brings together incredible organizations that are charting a new course that moves us all forward towards equality, justice, and positive impact. There has never been a more important time for us to pull together and figure out ways to work together! We Made This (African Community Center) will be at table 30. Bring lots of business cards and network with other like-minded humans.

We’re so proud that our beautiful refugee-made pieces are for sale at the Denver Botanic Garden gift shop! They make perfect holiday gifts; and proceeds from your purchase go directly toward supporting two fantastic, impactful non-profits as well as paying our refugee makers! 💜

Our most recent cohort of We Made This participants recently got the opportunity to take a field trip to the Denver Botanic Gardens. This group of incredible refugee women spent the afternoon relaxing on the grass, sharing a meal, and simply enjoying each other’s company and bonding in the beautiful setting.

They also explored the current Spirit Guides installation (created by Mexican artists Jacobo and María Ángeles), admiring the intricate designs and powerful meanings behind them. It was a day of reflection, connection, and being fully present with nature and one another—an experience that left us all refreshed, inspired, and more connected with one another.

ACC extends a warm thanks to our community partner, the Denver Botanic Gardens, for accommodating We Made This.

We had a great time at Taste of Ethiopia in Aurora, Colorado this weekend! We met so many great people and it’s such a fun festival with amazing music and food 😋

For anyone who isn’t aware, we are part of the African Community Center, which is a refugee resettlement agency in Denver. Our parent organization, the Ethiopian Community Development Council in Arlington, Va., was founded in 1983 by Ethiopian native Dr. Tsehaye Teferra, whose leadership and vision have shaped ECDC into the robust, multi-faceted force it is today.

Come visit the We Made This booth at the 10th Anniversary Celebration of Taste of Ethiopia! 🇪🇹

We will be selling all of our beautiful refugee-sewn products while enjoying the music and food at this wonderful festival!

Parkfield Lake Park at 15555 E 53rd Ave, Denver, CO 80239

WMT will be there on Saturday only, but the festival runs all weekend!

Can’t wait! Hope to see you there!
