ReplyDelete*and the removed comment was the one about my blog, but i forgot to include the url.
I love this type of organization because it not only promotes fair trade, but it also builds into individuals' lives. It is a creative and fun idea that can bring about social change in the desperate economic status of these women. It is also a supportive way for the women to start recovery and healing as they work toward making something beautiful. There is so much brokenness in their lives. Creating beauty in such a simple way can bring hope into their lives for a more beautiful future and begin to bring light into their dark world.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for sponsoring this giveaway. I would love to proudly wear their jewelry and tell their story.
