We watched a touching story on the Saturday morning Today Show. It was about a group of American women reaching out to women in a Ugandan slum, many of whom have lost their husbands in the civil war there. It's called BeadforLife.
They make beads from scraps of paper that are then turned into necklaces, bracelets, and other jewelery. The money collected from sales goes directly back to the women in Uganda who made them.
I bought a few bracelets for Loretta...$5.00 each. You can pay with a secure credit card or through Paypal.
