Let me tell you: accessories and lotion and gelato are indulgences with which I would be loathe to part. Yet, when I consider every dollar spent as a vote towards a product, there are many stores I am reluctant to support because of their unethical practices. This is why I am a growing advocate of fair trade and recently said yes to the opportunity to create a personal online store with Light Gives Heat. They are one of many organizations employing women who make the Acholi bead necklaces and provide a good blend of quality + price.
Buying from Light Gives Heat is a win/win situation. Your purchases provide desperately needed income to women who have survived a brutal war and continue to battle poverty and injustice. That would be enough in itself, but in return you get to sport a (literally) unique accessory hailing from another continent. Just to note, I do not receive any profits from the online store; I am now a virtual volunteer! If you would like to buy a piece of jewelry for yourself or as a present, simply click here. Thanks for supporting!
