Pamper someone in your life with a gift set of 3 candles, featuring some of our favorite quotes by women leaders. These travel tins are made with high-quality soy-blend wax and an all-natural cotton wick, each with a different scent (Tea Infusion, Lemongrass Sage, and Sandalwood) and unique quote. Zainab Salbi, Pema Chodron, and Eleanor Roosevelt represent the diversity of women engaged in courageous leadership to change the world. Every candle is printed with the name of the refugee woman who made it, enabling you to send her words of encouragement through Prosperity Candle's "Connect" page on their website. The set of 3 candles arrives in a gift box, ready to present to your loved one.

Quotes include:
"The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams." (Eleanor Roosevelt)

Everyone can identify with the strong desire to go home.

UUSC invites you to help families in Northern Uganda to return home and resettle after years of living as internally displaced persons in camps. You can do this by purchasing "shares" of a team of oxen and a plough on behalf of your loved ones.

In return for your pledge of support, you or your gift recipient will receive a hand-made, wooden oxen carving symbolizing your commitment to strengthening families and community building. Each carved figurine comes with a note explaining the effects your gift will have. Gift recipients will receive a personalized card noting that you made the donation in their name.

Your $35 is distributed as follows: $3 returns to our partner Rock Women Group for the ornament carved by Kenyan youth, $2 goes to administration costs (supplies), and $30 goes directly toward the purchase of oxen with Caritas. Cost for shipping the ornament to your intended gift recipient is additional and calculated at check-out.

If you or your congregation would like to purchase a pair of oxen for $500, or a team of Oxen for $1000, please e-mail us at orders@uusc.org.

Thanks to all who have supported the Oxen Project! If you would like to make a donation to the Oxen Project without receiving an ornament, you can do so using the Oxen Project online donation form. Or call us toll-free at 800-388-3920 (press 1 and listen for options) and let our staff person know you would like to make a donation to the Oxen Project.

The History and Consequences of U.S. Involvement in Torture
By Jennifer Harbury

Jennifer Harbury's investigation into torture began when her husband disappeared in Guatemala in 1992. This book offers well-documented evidence of the CIA's involvement in torture tactics since the 1970s and moving personal testimony from many of the victims.

Most important, Harbury provides solid, convincing arguments against the use of torture in any circumstances — not only because it is completely inconsistent with all the basic values Americans hold dear, but because it has repeatedly proved to be ineffective.
