Day 158: Bracelets For Nepal

Well, with two finals down and only one more next week, I decided today I could use some retail therapy. I was just browsing, of course. Or, that was the case until I found the bracelets below. These colorful beauties can be found at Apricot Lane. These bracelets are handmade from women in Nepal by a foundation that is called Fair Trades Fashion Designs. With your purchase of one of the bracelets, you will help "empower women and sponsor poor children and educate young minds and to help them live a joyous life."

Fair Trade Fashion Designs began in 2010, by humanitarian Michael Wilcox. This foundation creates opportunities for women to work in Nepal. With the women at work, we are alleviating the chances of sex trafficking and help to heal those who have dealt with sex trafficking. You can learn more and watch a bracelet be made by clicking here.
