Wapendwa Marafiki! (That's Hello Friends in Swahili btw) A few months ago I was at Epcot, while on our amazing trip to Florida, and I got a bracelet! But not just any bracelet! It is a bracelet made of recycled Disney Maps!! They had blue ones, red ones, yellow ones, green ones, orange ones, purple ones, pink ones, black ones, grey ones, white ones and assorted! Mine is a bunch of different colors and has a tiny silver charm on it that says "Bead for Life". (The place that makes the bracelets) So cool right?? They are SUPER cool!! It was so cool that when we got home, me and mom looked up the website, looking to buy another one! Turns out that all the beads are made by women in Africa!! And all the money goes back to them to help them eat and have homes and feed their kids!!
So the Bead for Life program has this thing you can do called a Bead Party! They send you a TON of different kinds of necklaces and different kinds of bracelets and earrings and you have a party and people can buy what ever they want and then you send back what ever you don't sell!! Its an awesome idea and the stuff they make is SO amazing!!
So, getting to the point, we got the box of beads today!! They are soo amazing!! We also got a dvd about how the women in Africa make them and a cd of African Music to play at the party! AND a recipe book of African dishes! (No.. bugs are not part of the ingredients) And there are TONS of different colors of necklaces and tons of different kinds of bracelets! Its is super awesome and I can't wait for everyone to see them!!
Mpaka wakati mwingine marafiki! (Until next time friends!)
