Join Sassy Moms in the City at the Heshima Kenya 2012 Fashion Challenge October 24\, 2012 at the Bridgeport Art Center\, and celebrate the work of the young women and girls of the Maisha Collective. We are a proud member of the host committee and excited to support this year's fundraising initiative. Five of Chicago’s up and coming designers will compete in the second annual Heshima Kenya Fashion Challenge. The Project Runway-inspired competition will feature Chicago’s hottest designers who will each receive one Maisha Collective scarf\, which they will use to create an original women’s design. Their pieces will be judged based on originality\, wearability\, construction\, and demonstration of designer personality. The winner will be determined by a panel of celebrity judges. Guests will be treated to the signature cocktail\, The Maisha Martini and hors d’oeuvres from Food for Thought. A raffle with packages inspired to pamper\, renew and style will take place throughout the evening\, with prizes provided by Akira and more. Maisha Collective scarves will be available for purchase and  guests will have the opportunity to bid on designs featured in the Fashion Challenge. Heshima Kenya is the first and only organization in Kenya committed to empowering young\, unaccompanied refugee women and girls. Founded in 2007\, the organization has been recognized by the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees and the US State Department for its innovative\, holistic approach to refugee advocacy. Girls served by Heshima Kenya receive safety\, shelter and security\, and education and skills training. One of these girls\, Dahabo was 17 when she fled war-torn Somalia. After losing both of her parents to Somalia’s civil war\, she traveled nearly 750 miles to Nairobi - a remarkable journey made even more difficult after losing her leg in crossfire. Once in Nairobi\, Dahabo was referred to Heshima Kenya where she received shelter\, education\, and an opportunity to learn tie and dye skills. Her designs and newfound confidence eventually inspired the creation of the Maisha Collective\, Heshima Kenya’s income-generating project where members produce and manage a line of hand-dyed scarves.

It’s hard to get a handle on the “best” way to raise our children\, but our panel of leading local experts\, will help to sort out all the pros and cons of being “Hands Off” or “Helicopter.” About our panelists: Dan Gill\, MSMFT\, LCPC from The Family Institute at Northwestern University is an expert on facilitating groups on life transitions\, social skills enrichments and family matters.

Neighborhood Parents Network's newest program\, You and Number 2\, is here to help you transition into being a mother for the second (or third!) time. Adding a new baby to the family can certainly shake things up- let NPN and other "new again" moms give you support you need. Just like our original New Moms Groups help brand new moms find their way\, our You and Number 2 program will leave you with the connections and resources you need to make your time with new little ones just as special. Are you a new mom for the second (or third) time? After getting your older child set up in his or her schedule\, having a new baby can throw a wrench in your day to day routine. All of the things you figured out-going to the grocery store\, sleeping through the night\, getting out of the house-you have to work out again! At our first events kicking off the new "You and Number Two" program\, you can meet other moms of new siblings. Come to Little Beans Café with your new little bean (your older big bean is invited too!) to make new friends for you and your kiddos.
