If you have never heard about this amazing company then you need to... Pronto! The more I learn the more I fall in love.
I unfortunately am not eloquent enough to explain everything how I would like to (I tried). So I am borrowing this from the website...
"When Founder Jessica Honegger and her husband Joe decided to adopt a child from Rwanda, a friend living in Uganda told her, "We have so much beautiful, handmade jewelry sitting in boxes. Why don't you take it, sell it, and use the money to fund your adoption?" The paper bead pieces drew an overwhelming response, and Jessica soon connected with Jalia and Daniel, a Ugandan couple with a heart for ministering to the vulnerable in their community. They started recruiting their neighbors to create unique paper bead designs, and the group has grown to provide dignified employment for over 300 artisans."
That is how it all started. I now can share so many stories about so many artisans from 8 differrent countries. The people are beautiful... The jewelry, scarves, belts, and bags... oh the bags... Are beautiful.
I have my launch party this week on Thursday and another party scheduled at the beginning of August! SO EXCITED! I am praying to find more people that catch this excitement and share the love!
