Sept. 1, 2011 - PRLog -- This September, One Hundred Days http://www.onehundreddays.org will bring Market Rwanda to participate with Atlanta's premier boutiques as they set up shop at Atlantic Station for this year's annual exclusive SHOP ATLANTA pop-up shop event in partnership with Fashion's Night Out  2011 September 8 - 11 at Atlantic Station.

MARKET RWANDA is a beautiful collection of handmade jewelry and home décor from Rwanda courtesy of One Hundred Days, a nonprofit organization whose mission to help build restoration in Rwanda.

Market Rwanda will also make their debut in Modern Luxury's official launch of the "Fall Fashion" issues from both JEZEBEL and The Atlantan.

"We are excited to be part of such an exciting time and to bring in the cultural beauty and relevance of Rwanda," shares Linda Cox, author of  They Had to Run (http://www.theyhadtorun.com), a children's book telling the story of their Rwanda partners' journey of surviving the rumblings of the genocide. "This event has been endorsed by the Mayor and other notables in this city so we know this is groundbreaking for us as a nonprofit and we're excited to get the word out about the work we're doing abroad through fashion!"

Fashion-forward elites such as Mayor Kasim Reed and Tyson Beckford will pay tribute to design icons Willi Smith and Bethann Hardison for Fashion's Night Out.Earlier this month, the Mayor held a press conference at the W Buckhead Hotel to announce the participants in this year's Fashion's Night Out. Reed stated, "Around the world, cities will put a spotlight on the fashion industry with special after-hours events. Fashion's Night Out has become a global phenomenon. Atlanta's participation last year displayed our city's emergence as a key player in the fashion industry." Friday through Sunday (September 9th-11th) will be shopping only days at Atlantic Station with several events at Lenox Mall, Phipps Plaza, Atlantic Station as well as the Midtown area. Over 100 U.S. cities are participating in Fashion's Night Out Sept.8th-11th.

All proceeds from the purchase of items from the MARKET go towards the construction of The Good Shepherd Community Hospital for Children in Kigali, Rwanda, part of the mission of One Hundred Days. Dr. Scott Sasser, founder and president of One Hundred Days says, "The health care system is one of the many victims of the genocide."According to the World Health Organization, there are only about 400 doctors in the entire country who serve a population of over eight million people.Hospitals are often overcrowded with overworked staff and outdated equipment.Currently, there is no facility dedicated to serving children in the entire country.

This great story is ready and waiting to be told to countless of those yearning to help our global world heal and triumph from life's tragedies. All request for media interviews should be directed to our media contact.

Media interested in covering the VIP preview should put in their request directly to the T.MORRISON AGENCY.
