The idea of recycling is being and has been done for a long time all around the world. Sometimes situations occur that force us into a reality of recycling in order to sustain ourselves, families and communities. In order to help those in foreign countries who find themselves in this type of situation due to tribal wars (Lord's Resistance Army) and foreign wars many people in far away places are starting businesses to help those most affected by these tragedies.
While I was buzzing around on the internet looking for paper and fabric craft ideas, I stumbled upon a video of Lacan Kwite Beaders from Gulu, Uganda who are afraid to return to their farms and lands because of the Lord's Resistance Army; and the company whose helping them to rebuild their lives and communities by exporting the paper beads that the Lacan Kwite bead makers.
Paper Bead Works is located in Canada is committed to sustainable products and the partnership that they have formed with the Lacan Kwite bead makers of Gulu, Uganda. 85% of the profits made from the Lacan Kwite tribe is returned to them.

As always, keep Rediscovering and discovering the Joys of Recycling.
peace/good fortune
